Freddie's First Flight is the first of three children's books to be published about the life and times of Freddie the Great-tailed Grackle. Book one, Freddie's First Flight, chronicles the first few weeks of Freddie's life and that of his siblings Buddy and Maggie. It is a story about birth, love, joy, fear, excitement and achievement. The time comes when Freddie must leave the nest for the first time. He is overcome with fear and is only able to leave the nest with a little reassurance from his mother and help from his brother. He becomes so excited with the joy of flying that his lack of attention to other things going on around him almost results in him becoming the meal of the day for a bird of prey. Freddie learns a very valuable life lesson along the way. Bill Brown was born on August 27, 1947 to Bill and Wilma Brown. He was one of six children who were born and raised in Southeast Texas, County of Brazoria, and approximately 50 miles southwest of the city of Houston. Bill joined the Army in 1964 at the age of seventeen and served with the Eighty Second Airborne Division stationed at Fort Bragg North Carolina and First Cavalry Division in Vietnam. He was severely wounded during Operation Crazy Horse in May, 1966. His love and trust in God prevented him from being just another casualty of the war. He completed his stint with the Army in December, 1967. Bill's love for nature eventually leads him to receiving degrees in Wildlife Biology from Colorado State University and Fisheries Management at the University of Washington. After graduating from the University of Washington in 1975, Bill began a distinguished career with the USDA Forest Service as a Wildlife Biologist. He remained with the Forest Service until May, 2005 when he retired after thirty years of service. He now lives in southeast Texas with his wife Myra and cat, Sadie and dog Matty. He has four children, five grandchildren and six great grandchildren. Bill's inspiration to write a children's book about the life and times of a Great-tailed Grackle named Freddie comes from years of observing this magnificent creature in the wild.

"Navigating from the White Anthropocene to the Black Chthulucene offers a consideration of Buster Keaton's classic 1924 film, The Navigator, from the combined perspectives of critical race theory, especially Black Studies, and posthumanism. The principle argument that the book puts forward is that Keaton's film exemplifies in its treatment of non-white characters and animals an antiblack logic that also is at work in Keaton's cinema more generally. More than this, the book engages with how Keaton is a central figure in discourses surrounding early cinema, playing a notable role in the film-philosophical thinking of Gilles Deleuze, and in the film-ecological thinking of Jennifer Fay. The book charts, then, how Keaton's film can help to tease out the otherwise unexamined whiteness - and by extension the antiblackness - of both Deleuze's thinking and that of ecological theory more broadly"--

If you're wondering about frogs, you've come to the right place! Here are some interesting facts about these fascinating creatures. Frogs belong to the Anura order of amphibians and are largely carnivorous. Learn more about frogs by watching this informative ! Read on to learn more about the unique features of frogs. And be sure to check back often for more fun facts about frogs! Did you know that frogs can be deadly to people? Some species of frogs have poison on their skins! Although this is not a direct threat to humans, it can kill predators by inflicting massive damage. Poison dart frogs are a particular concern, as their toxins can cause heart failure and fibrillation. The bright colors of frogs serve as warnings to predators. Many frogs use camouflage as a way to avoid predators. However, some species have evolved special abilities for hiding and camouflage. One species, the White's tree frog, can change its color to match the surrounding temperature. To adapt to a change in temperature, it moves to a warmer, shadier area. Besides being able to change colors, the White's tree frog also tucks its feet and hands into its body to make it harder to detect predators. The Goliath Frog is the largest species of frog. It grows to over one foot (12.5 inches) long and weighs seven pounds. The Goliath Frog is found in West Africa. It can grow up to 15 inches in length and weigh seven pounds. Another species that can reach large sizes is the golden frog, or PAEDOPHRYNE AMANUENSIS. The frog's back legs are long and flexible.

The California Gold Rush began in 1848 when the first miners started collecting large amounts of gold. The news spread quickly throughout the world and thousands of prospective miners flooded into the area. These men, also known as forty-niners, borrowed money, mortgaged their homes, and spent life savings on gold. Many women were left behind to care for the family and run farms. By the end of the gold rush, there were 30,000 men and hundreds of women in the region. The California Gold Rush was a time of incredible economic development for the region. The new economy created new towns and jobs for merchants and entrepreneurs. The gold rush was so successful that it spawned new industries. Blue jeans were created in the 1850s, which were popular for women. Women had more freedom than men in 1849, and could earn higher wages in the process. One woman made $18,000 by baking pies. James Marshall, the man who discovered the gold in California, never made a dime from the Gold Rush. He died penniless in 1885. The California Gold Rush started in 1848 when James Wilson Marshall found gold in the American River in California. He was a sawmill operator at the time, but after the discovery, his sawmill closed. While the majority of Gold Rushers were Americans, immigrants from Latin America, China, Australia, and other countries came to the region to get their share of the gold. Because of the United States' military presence in the area, many of the gold rushers ended up being Canadians.

The basic reason scientists work is to advance knowledge. Scientists are motivated by a variety of reasons, including a desire to learn how the world works and why certain things happen the way they do. In general, scientists display a strong curiosity about reality. But what exactly does a scientist do? What are the different types of research scientists conduct? These are just a few of the questions scientists ask and the research they carry out. We hope you enjoyed reading about some of the fascinating Scientist Facts. The incredible body structures of animals never cease to amaze us. Octopuses have three hearts, lobsters pee from their faces, turtles breathe through their butts, and male seahorses give birth to their young. Some of the most bizarre facts include the fact that the Kakapo bird has a strong musty smell. This bird is critically endangered. And while all of these facts might be surprising to adults, they will fill your child with wonder and awe as they learn more about nature. Similarly, when scientists study nature, they take note of human behavior, how we feel, and how we respond to certain situations. These factors influence our behavior. If we feel that something is beautiful or elegant, we stop questioning, thereby relaxing our minds. Scientists don't work in a vacuum - they share their ideas and their findings. Scientists don't derive the warming fact from a single observation, but from countless collections dating back to 1850. This diversity of observations gives strong grounds for the warming hypothesis.
