“At length did cross an Albatross, / Through the fog it came; / As if it had been a Christian soul, / We hailed it in God’s name.” The introduction of the albatross in Samuel Taylor Coleridge’s “The Rime of the Ancient Mariner” remains one of the most well-known references to this majestic seabird in Western culture. In Albatross, Graham Barwell goes beyond Coleridge to examine the role the bird plays in the lives of a wide variety of peoples and societies, from the early views of north Atlantic mariners to modern encounters by writers, artists, and filmmakers. Exploring how the bird has been celebrated in proverbs, folk stories, art, and ceremonies, Barwell shows how people marvel at the way the albatross soars through the air, covering awe-inspiring distances with little effort thanks to its impressive wingspan. He surveys the many approaches people have taken to thinking about the albatross over the past two hundred years—from those who devoted their lives to these birds to those who hunted them for food and sport—and discusses its place in the human imagination. Concluding with a reflection on the bird’s changing significance in the modern world, Barwell considers threats to its continued existence and its prospects for the future. With one hundred illustrations from nature, film, and popular culture, Albatross is an absorbing look at these beautiful birds.

Flight of a friendship and a dream come true. A story that values trust, unity and diversity. PLOT: The protagonists of this short story are two birds: Albatross Chiloé, the biggest bird in the world, and tiny hummingbird Didì, the smallest bird in the world. What these two characters have in common is the infinite desire to discover and see new places. However, the big difference between the two is that the Albatross sees the world from the top while observing its beauty in its entirety, desiring to rise above and search for breathtaking scenery, without caring to discover the beauty of the small details the earth provides. The small hummingbird instead is aware of the spectacular and minute paradise in which she lives. However, even if conscious of the physical impossibility, she fervently desires to fly over the sky and taste the flavour of the clouds and observe the sea from above. Their paths cross when Chiloé, during one of his many long journeys, sees from above a small emerald island in which Didì lives and decides to descend and rest a bit. During this encounter the Albatross, thanks to the joyful and kind attitude of the Hummingbird, discovers the beauty of small details and of how wonderful the world is seen from below. In order to return the favour he gifts Didì the dream of flying high above in the sky, beyond the clouds, making her taste the flavour she longed for and giving her the opportunity to observe the sea from above. As frequently happens in life, they live this dream together. THEMES: This short story combats racial prejudice and suggests seeing diversity as a learning opportunity rather than an obstacle. When diversity is accepted, it gives the opportunity of reaching goals and dreams far above our personal and singular capacities. It is a story that encloses, in itself, the strength of dreams and unity - both powerful personal growth stimulants. It gifts the reader the extraordinary valour of trust and the saving desire of seeing beyond. The book not only describes the actions of the characters, but relates the feelings and thoughts expressed in various situations, playing a significant role in the events and in the telling of the story. The vocabulary used, although appropriate for the age group to which it is addressed, is at times deliberately sophisticated, so as to stimulate reflection and the consequent acquisition of new terminology, perhaps through the explanation of a parent or of an adult. There are many amusing word games, through juxtapositions, assonances and the meaning of phrases, with the awareness that it is up to each young reader to make every little part of the story their own. The text includes onomatopoeic sounds, dialogues and descriptions, written in a lively, soft language that makes the narrative more captivating and lively. It is a book that contains many illustrations to help the reader understand the plot and develop imagination. Fly now with your child between the pages of this book!

Birds are among the most successful vertebrates on Earth. An important part of our natural environment and deeply embedded in our culture, birds are studied by more professional ornithologists and enjoyed by more amateur enthusiasts than ever before. However, both amateurs and professionals typically focus on birds' behaviour and appearance and only superficially understand the characteristics that make birds so unique. The Inner Bird introduces readers to the avian skeleton, then moves beyond anatomy to discuss the relationships between birds and dinosaurs and other early ancestors. Gary Kaiser examines the challenges scientists face in understanding avian evolution - even recent advances in biomolecular genetics have failed to provide a clear evolutionary story. Using examples from recently discovered fossils of birds and near-birds, Kaiser describes an avian history based on the gradual abandonment of dinosaur-like characteristics, and the related acquisition of avian characteristics such as sophisticated flight techniques and the production of large eggs. Such developments have enabled modern birds to invade the oceans and to exploit habitats that excluded dinosaurs for millions of years. While ornithology is a complex discipline that draws on many fields, it is nevertheless burdened with obsolete assumptions and archaic terminology. The Inner Bird offers modern interpretations for some of those ideas and links them to more current research. It should help anyone interested in birds to bridge the gap between long-dead fossils and the challenges faced by living species.

Famous for their size and elegance in flight, albatrosses are familiar to anyone who has travelled through the southern oceans, and are a flagship family of conservation concern. However, albatrosses are just one of several groups of 'pelagic' birds - those that visit land only to breed, and spend the rest of their lives far from the coast, soaring from ocean to ocean in a never-ending search for food. Mysterious and graceful, these birds can present a formidable identification challenge to even the most experienced birder. This book provides the answer - the first comprehensive guide to pelagic birds, the albatrosses, petrels, shearwaters, storm-petrels and diving petrels. A total of 46 spectacular colour plates highlight key ID criteria of the birds in flight, with close-ups of diagnostic regions of the plumage. The plates are accompanied by accurate distribution maps, while the sparkling text brings the world of these amazing birds to life. Several extremely rare species, such as Beck's Petrel, are illustrated for the first time, while the New Zealand Storm-petrel, rediscovered as recently as 2004, is also included. Sea-watchers all around the world will find this superb field guide indispensable.

A Mud-and-Lasers Tabletop Roleplaying Game of Modular Mechs and the Pilots that crew them. Created in partnership with Massif Press, Dark Horse Books presents LANCER. 15,000 years into the future, humanity has survived near collapse and since expanded ever wider into the frontiers of space, organized by UNION, the central hegemon of the populated galaxy. At Union’s heart, the dream of human utopia has been realized; but Lancer is set at the trembling edges of the expansion where resistance to the ideals of the utopia grow. As a lancer, you pilot a mech as unique as yourself. You are, by training, luck, circumstance, or work, one of the best. In this era near the golden age, you have one question to answer above all: who do you fight for? Lancer features a deep, story-rich setting for players to engage with. Every choice they make, every ordnance they mount, every weapon they wield — all of it has lore attached, just waiting for a story to develop.
