The Golden Stallion's Victory: Golden Stallion #4 (Famous Horse Stories)
by Rutherford MontgomeryCharlie Carter’s first meeting with the big stallion of the Bar L took place in the spring of the year. Golden Boy was a wild colt then. The story of how Charlie caught, tamed, and raced him was told in The Capture of the Golden Stallion, in which the reader also first met Charlie’s ranching father, his beautiful, impetuous mother and Ellen Sprague, who went to school in the East but felt the way Charlie did about Golden Boy and the Bar L. Now spring has come again to the high country, where Golden Boy triumphantly guards his mares. Charlie looks forward to a fine summer, but his first ride to look over the horse herd brings an ominous adventure. An old silvertip has killed a cow, so Charlie stalks the bear, taking chances that a more seasoned hunter would not approve. After that things happen fast. A neighboring ranch, the Big Circle, has changed hands, and the new owner ruthlessly attempts to usurp the Bar L’s range and water rights. Golden Boy fans the flames by trespassing in Big Circle territory, and Ellen arrives from the East accompanied by a girl friend straight from the soda- fountain set. When the range water is diverted from Canna Creek the complications seem insurmountable, but actually they set the stage for Golden Boy to make the run of his life.

Golden-winged Warbler Ecology, Conservation, and Habitat Management (Studies in Avian Biology)
by Henry M. Streby, David E. Andersen and David A. BuehlerGolden-winged Warblers (Vermivora chrysoptera) are migratory songbirds that breed in temperate North America, primarily in the Great Lakes region with remnant populations throughout the Appalachian Mountains, and winter in Central and northern South America. Their breeding range has contracted dramatically in the Appalachian Mountains and many populations have dramatically declined, likely due to habitat loss, competition and interbreeding with Blue-winged Warblers (Vermivora pinus), andglobal climate change.. As a result of population declines in much of the eastern portion of their breeding range, Golden-winged Warblers are listed as endangered or threatened in 10 U.S. states and in Canada and have been petitioned for protection under the U.S. Endangered Species Act. Published in collaboration with and on behalf of The American Ornithological Society, this volume in the highly-regarded Studies in Avian Biology series compiles extensive, current research on Golden-winged Warblers and summarizes what is known and identifies many remaining unknowns, providing a wealth of peer-reviewed science on which future research and listing decisions can be based.

Goldenlocks and the Three Pirates
by April Jones PrinceA fun and clever picture book retelling of Goldilocks—with pirates!Once upon a seaworthy sloop lived three pirates: the big, pilfering Papa, the medium-sized, menacing Mama, and the small, bonny Baby, a pirate-in-training. They were excellent pirates, but not very good housekeepers, so their gruel wasn't tasty, their stools weren't sturdy, and their hammocks weren't hung properly. Luckily for them, Goldenlocks happened along when they were out for a row in the harbor. April Jones Prince's rollicking text and Steven Salerno's swashbuckling paintings make Goldenlocks and the Three Pirates a first-rate adventure and a spirited take on Goldilocks.

Goldfish Development and Evolution
by Kinya G. OtaThis book explains how the beautiful goldfish body develops from a single fertilized egg and how this developmental process was changed during the process of domestication. The contents can be categorized as follows: i) numerous high-quality live photo images of embryonic and larval stage goldfish, ii) detailed descriptions of skeletogenesis with fluorescent microscopic and histological images, iii) the most advanced interpretation of the relationship between artificial selection and developmental processes, iv) future perspectives of the application of the genome editing techniques for the ornamental goldfish breeding, and v) methodological descriptions for goldfish developmental biology. Goldfish is a popular ornamental domesticated fish species, and its highly diverged morphological features and color variations attract fanciers. The goldfish has been spread all over the world by breeders, and this fish has also been employed as an experimental organism by researchers in the field of life science. However, so far, no available scientific books provide a detailed description of the embryogenesis and morphogenesis of this animal. Compared with the number of published fancier books, the number of books on goldfish biology is very few. This publication will be useful not only for the research community particularly in the fields of developmental biology, evolutionary biology, zoology, aquaculture, fishery science, and related areas but also for enthusiastic goldfish fanciers and breeders.
