Mending the World, Shell by Shattered Shell

Of Time and Turtles

The Old Farmer's Almanac ist ein Almanach mit Wettervorhersagen, Pflanzentabellen, astronomischen Daten, Rezepten und Artikeln, das seit 1792 jedes Jahr in Kanada erscheint und damit die älteste kontinuierlich erscheinende Zeitschrift Nordamerikas ist. Castle Freeman, den man hierzulande als Romanautor kennt, hat viele Jahre für den Almanach geschrieben, und Schnee im Frühling versammelt eine Auswahl seiner Texte: Er hat zu allen Aspekten des modernen Landlebens etwas zu sagen, von Rototillern und Kettensägen bis zu Kaninchen und Waschbären, von Taglilien bis zu Ahornzucker, von Schnee auf dem Dach bis zu Mäusen im Holzstapel.
 In der Tradition amerikanischer Naturbeschreibungen erzählt Castle Freeman von einer Lebensweise, die zu gleichen Teilen herausfordernd, ruhig und abwechslungsreich ist. Dieses Buch ist zum Vergnügen, zum Nachdenken in der Stadt und auf dem Land, ein Buch zum Mitnehmen und Verschenken.

Schnee im Frühling

“A biography that reads like a novel.” —The Wall Street Journal • “Laybourne was a badass.” —Los Angeles Times • “Sweeney’s biography must be read to be believed.” —The Millions • “Engrossing...Riveting...This entrances.” —Publishers Weekly • NPR Books We Love 2025 • Scientific American’s Best Nonfiction of 2025 The fascinating and remarkable true story of the world’s first forensic ornithologist—Roxie Laybourne, who broke down barriers for women, solved murders, and investigated deadly airplane crashes with nothing more than a microscope and a few fragments of feathers. In 1960, an Eastern Airlines flight had no sooner lifted from the runway at Boston Logan Airport when it struck a flock of birds and took a nosedive into the shallow waters of the Boston Harbor, killing sixty-two people. This was the golden age of commercial airflight—luxury in the skies—and safety was essential to the precarious future of air travel. So the FAA instructed the bird remains be sent to the Smithsonian Institution for examination, where they would land on the desk of the only person in the world equipped to make sense of it all. Her name was Roxie Laybourne, a diminutive but singular woman with thick glasses, a heavy Carolina drawl, and a passion for birds. Roxie didn’t know it at the time, but that box full of dead birds marked the start of a remarkable scientific journey. She became the world’s first forensic ornithologist, investigating a range of crimes and calamites on behalf of the FBI, the US Air Force, and even NASA. The Feather Detective takes readers deep within the vaunted backrooms of the Smithsonian’s National Museum of Natural History to tell the story of a burgeoning science and the enigmatic woman who pioneered it. While her male colleagues in taxidermy embarked on expeditions around the world and got plum promotions, Roxie stayed with her birds. Using nothing more than her microscope and bits of feathers, she helped prosecute murderers, kidnappers, and poachers. When she wasn’t testifying in court or studying evidence from capital crimes, she was helping aerospace engineers and Air Force crews as they raced to bird-proof their airplanes before disaster struck again. In The Feather Detective, award-winning journalist Chris Sweeney charts the astonishing life and work of this overlooked pioneer. Once divorced, once widowed, and sometimes surly, Roxie shattered stereotypes and pushed boundaries. Her story is one of persistence and grit, obsession and ingenuity. Drawing on reams of archival material, court documents, and exclusive interviews, Sweeney delivers a moving and amusing portrait of a woman who overcame cultural and scientific obstacles at every turn, forever changing our understanding of birds—and the feathers they leave behind.

'An ode to one of the world's best-loved birds' Harper's Bazaar 'The perfect book for the penguin person in your life' Daunt Books 'A joy' Horatio Clare, The Spectator 'Electrifyingly charismatic' Dan Snow, author of On This Day in History 'The world's best-loved bird from the world's best-known publisher - what's not to like?' Stephen Moss, author of The Bird Biography series 'Simply wonderful. If you like feeling joy, you'll love this book' Tristan Gooley, author of How to Read a Tree 'Beautifully written and illustrated' Matt Merritt, Editor of Bird Watching * A charming and beautifully illustrated book about the world's most beloved bird, written by Peter Fretwell, a leading scientist at The British Antarctic Survey, and illustrated by Lisa Fretwell. There's something about penguins that makes them irresistible. Maybe it's their comical waddle, their black-and-white 'tuxedo' plumage, or their apparent cheerfulness in the face of extreme weather conditions. Whatever the reason, their cult following around the globe is indisputable. Penguins can tell us so much about the world we live in - and what the future of both our species might look like. In The Penguin Book of Penguins, leading British Antarctic scientist Peter Fretwell introduces us to eighteen charismatic species of penguin and the fascinating lives they lead: their evolution, behaviours and habitats, and their history with humans. From the fact that emperor penguins dive twice as deep as any other bird, to the story of a king penguin called Sir Nils Olav III who was made a Major General by the Norwegian Army, we discover through fascinating first-hand encounters (and even penguin jokes and emojis!) why penguins matter so greatly to all of us.
