The Courage of Birds

"From our own backyards to the rim of the Arctic ice, countless birds have adapted to meet the challenges of the winter season. This is their remarkable story, told by award-winning birder and acclaimed writer Pete Dunne, accompanied by illustrations from renowned artist and birder David Sibley. Despite the seasonal life-sapping cold, birds have evolved strategies that meet winter's vicissitudes head on, driven by the imperative to make it to spring and pass down their genes to the next generation. The drama of winter and the resilience and adaptability of birds witnessed in the harsher months of the calendar is both fascinating and astonishing. In The Courage of Birds, Pete Dunne-winner of the American Birding Association's Roger Tory Peterson Award for lifetime achievement in promoting the cause of birding-chronicles the behavior of the birds of North America. He expertly explores widespread adaptations, such as feathers that protect against the cold, and unpacks the unique migration patterns and survival strategies of individual species. Dunne also addresses the impact of changing climatic conditions on avian longevity and recounts personal anecdotes that soar with a naturalist's gimlet eye. Filled with unforgettable facts, wit, and moving observations on the natural world, Dunne's book is for everyone; from the serious birder who tracks migration patterns, to the casual birder who logs daily reports on eBird, to the backyard observer who throws a handful of seed out for the Northern Cardinals and wonders how the birds magically appear in the garden when temperatures begin to fall"--

The Living Vote

'Having now read this insightful book twice through, back-to-back, I can honestly attest to the fact that The Living Vote describes what we should be doing and how to achieve it in a way that is both easily digestible and most definitely a most astutely written, astutely grounded, and impassioned new prose.' Exclusive MagazineThe more power that rests with the people, the less there is for powerful minority global actors to wield. This remains true whether or not the people are right or wrong, because it’s still the safest place for real power to reside. Unfortunately, the direction of travel is the opposite way. The Living Vote describes a uniquely new mechanism to significantly extend the engagement of voters and to moderate the unlimited power our governments can wield. Unlike the usual outcomes from other more proportional systems, coalitions will not be necessary. The Living Vote describes what we should be doing and how to achieve it.
