G Is for One Gzonk!: An Alpha-number-bet Book
by Tony Diterlizzi Tiny DiterlooneyAges 4-7 Welcome to my silly dilly take on ABC. It's lots of fun and really odd, as you will quickly see. For they're no "leaping lizards" here. No "bears that bounce a ball." In fact, these zany critters have never been seen at all. So turn the page and cast a gaze on this menagerie, but don't forget the beasts within were all made up by me! - Tiny DiTerlooney

GIFT OF DEER
by Helen HooverIn the farthest wilds of northeastern Minnesota, back in the Gunflint Range, the author of this book and her artist-husband have a two-room cabin home in the bush country. Beginning one Christmas Day when they first watched the starving deer they later named Peter, the Hoovers had many opportunities, a passionate inclination, and the nature skills to observe this whitetail buck--joined later by his mate, and finally by several of their offspring--through the changing seasons of four years. Close as their relationship was to the generations of beautiful animals, the Hoovers did not consider them pets but fellow inhabitants of that wild country. Their observations reveal the rewards of living close to wild creatures; but more than that, they add valuable information to our knowledge of the cycle of life of the deer and other creatures native to the same world. For although the deer are the chief characters of this book, they are by no means the only wild creatures Mrs. Hoover writes of. Her naturalist's eye is just as sharp and her affection just as great for the antics of a curious chickadee or a flying squirrel. Mrs. Hoover's identification with nature knows no favoritism. The Hoovers' world--the bush country of the United States-Canadian border--is farther removed from civilization than "Mr. Emerson's woodlot," but the close relationship of The Gift of the Deer to Walden is evident for all to enjoy. Adrian Hoover's drawings are from life, and they add another level of understanding to his wife's vivid prose.
GMOs: Implications for Biodiversity Conservation and Ecological Processes (Topics in Biodiversity and Conservation #19)
by David L. Hawksworth Anurag Chaurasia Manoela Pessoa de MirandaThis book covers a broad spectrum of topics related to GMOs and allied new gene-based technologies, biodiversity, and ecosystem processes, bringing together the contributions of researchers and regulators from around the world. The aim is to offer a clear view of the benefits and effects of genetically modified crops, insects, and other animals on the soil microbiome and ecological processes. Contributors examine issues related to the development of risk assessment procedures and regulations designed to maximize benefits while minimizing risks. Beyond the scientific challenges of GMOs, the book explores the broad and contentious terrain of ethical considerations. The contributors discuss such questions as the unintended, possibly unforeseen, consequences of releasing GMOs into ecosystems, and the likelihood that the full effects of GMOs could take years, even decades, of close monitoring to become evident. The importance of developing a precautionary approach is stressed. The final chapter describes the critical issues of governance and regulation of new and emerging gene-based technologies, as nations grapple with the consequences of adopting the Cartagena Protocol on Biosafety (CPB). The volume includes an extensive Annex which outlines legal perspectives on the state of GMO governance around the world, with more than 20 examples from nations in Africa, South and Central America, Asia, Australasia, and Europe.
