| rat tail bandit: The Heart of the Wild Ben A. Minteer, Jonathan B. Losos, 2024-08-13 How do we keep a love of nature and the wild alive in our increasingly human-dominated world? According to the scientists and writers in this book, doing so is of paramount significance; however, the answer is not necessarily blanket preservation of wild places, which is increasingly unrealistic. Rather, the answer to how to care for nature is more nuanced and often entails acceptance of a broader definition of wild as well and what it means to experience nature. This book will be divided into two parts. In the first part, authors will explore and complicate what wildness means. For example, science writer Emma Marris argues that spontaneous vegetation and free-roaming animals in cities actually possess more autonomy than the wolves or pines of Yellowstone; biologist Jonathan Losos asks whether invasive species are necessarily detrimental and may even play a role in restoring ecosystems; and psychologist Susan Clayton discusses new ways of experiencing nature, particularly via technology, and what the benefits and limitations may be. In the second half of the book, essays will reflect on the roles of naturalism, natural history, and nature education & communication in helping us connect with wild species and landscapes at a time when many of those connections have frayed or even lost altogether-- |

| rat tail bandit: Change That Law! C.J. Darling, When mean old Mayor Man decides to pass a Law making ferrets illegal, the five clever ferrets in the Mustela Secret Service decide to teach him how to laugh and play, and not be so angry and mean. But when they creep into his cold, dark house late that night, they find him hurt on the floor. How can five little ferrets work together to save his life? ~~~~~ Excerpt ~~~~~ ?Taz,? Nova said, twitching her whiskers in the dim red light, ?why does Mayor Man want to get rid of all ferrets? Even Humans don?t do things without a reason.? ?Not usually,? Taz agreed with a worried flick of his tail. ?He says,? and his dark eyes moved toward Maggie, ?that ferrets look like rats. Most Humans are afraid of rats. They aren?t welcome here.? Maggie was so angry, she reared up on her back legs and clawed at the air. ?Ferrets do not look like rats! We have bushy tails, and masks on our faces like raccoons! Even I have one?you just can?t see it!? The other ferrets were black, silver, cinnamon, or brown. Their masks were the same colors, and easy to see. They did look a lot like raccoons, with their shiny dark eyes and curious noses. Maggie was pure white, except for the tip of her tail, so it made sense that her mask would also be white. Though he would never admit it, Taz thought she did look a bit like a sleek white rat?though no rat had ever been so proud of her bushy black-tipped tail. Maggie groomed it all the time, nibbling away dust and dirt to keep it full and shiny. ?We?re not blaming you, Maggie,? Nova soothed. ?Mayor Man is not very smart if he can?t see that most ferrets look totally different. But Taz is right. A lot of Humans are afraid of mice and rats because they steal food and make messy nests in their walls.? ?We make nests, too,? Goliath said proudly. ?My nest is in Boy?s bottom clothes drawer. His pants make a nice bed, and keep me warm at night.? ?We know, Goliath,? Zephyr smiled. Everyone knew where Goliath?s nest was. ?But we keep our nests clean. We only put toys and special snacks in them. Mice and rats aren?t clean. That?s why Humans hate them.? The young giant thought about that for a few minutes. ?Maybe we could teach them to be clean, and then the Humans wouldn?t hate them or us!? It was a great idea, but Nova couldn?t see how to make it happen. ?Not all Humans hate us,? she reminded Goliath. ?Just the Mayor Man. He has a lot of power in this town. We need to find some way of changing his mind, or he will make our Humans get rid of us.? They talked, and talked, and talked some more. But none of them could figure out how to make the mean old Mayor Man change his mind about ferrets. ?We are not ugly and messy,? Maggie scowled as they paused for a snack of crunchy brown ferret pellets. ?We just like to play and have fun.? ?I wish we could show him how to have fun,? Zephyr sighed. ?Then maybe he wouldn?t be so mean.? Taz sat up so suddenly that old Quincy jolted awake on his branch and peered down at them. ?Zephyr, that?s it! If we show him how to have fun, he?s sure to like us!? |
| rat tail bandit: Changing Faces Sean J. Marshall, 2012-06 I came into this world Sean John Marshall. I am twenty-seven years old, and was born and raised in Colorado Springs, Colorado. I am a fine artist, author, a proud father of one beautiful baby girl, and an all-around entrepreneur. But all of my pursuits came to an abrupt halt when I was consumed by a life of crime. For so long I became a part of a problem. Growing up in and around the streets, Ive caused much destruction in my lifetime. Ive been a part of gang violence, sold drugs, and was involved in countless thefts and armed robberies. Now my life's focus is to inspire, teach, uplift and mend. I now use life's experiences to grow and learn. I feel obligated to pass on all the insight and knowledge I've obtained throughout the years to whoever I can. By doing so, people can learn from my mistakes and use me as an example, because I've seen darker truths that people need not witness themselves. I've walked rocky paths on which those can only stumble. And if by sharing my views on paper and pouring my heart out through a pen can inspire or save just one life, if by writing I can prevent someone from making some of the same mistakes I've made, I will have done my part. I will have at least saved one soul from having to suffer the afflictions I've faced. And for that reason alone, I write. And for that reason alone, I'll forever share my truths--Colophon. |

| rat tail bandit: Motherlode James Axler, 2013-11-01 COERCION VORTEX The cost of living disintegrated after America's nuclear cull, and a life in Deathlands—any life—is dirt cheap. But those few who manage to stay alive in the savage new reality must travel the hellgrounds any way they can. For Ryan Cawdor and his fellow survivors, that means denying the pull toward savagery, and clinging to what little humanity they have left, when they can afford it. SEEDS OF SUSTAINABILITY Desperately short of supplies, Ryan and his companions are forced to seek help at the prosperous-looking ville of Amity Springs. Hired on to retrieve a stolen relic, they quickly become caught up in an escalating power struggle between two strong-willed lady barons. Each woman covets the cache of predark goods buried in the ville's backyard. But they are not alone in their desire. And all that stands between a motherlode of buried bounty and the destructive power of unchecked greed is Ryan's grim determination to survive another day. |

| rat tail bandit: Evolution: The Pattern Lucy Ahachynska, 2024-02-02 The origin of life is the fusion of two slightly different halves: fusion-fission, fusion-fission, fusion-fission... the rhythm of Life. In the beginning of all beginnings, an energetic proton and neutral neutron had fused into one whole. On planet Earth, the fusion took monumental proportions until the mating ritual has reached the highest conceivable degree. Love has a power to create life but also has a power to destroy it if its integrity is violated. Psychopath-men attack women, psychopath-women attack own children while breast, prostate and colorectal carcinomas are responsible for more than 20% human deaths whose incidence in great apes is less than 2%. Are humans on the decline? To find out this we have to unravel the mystery of the origin of life. Only if the sequence of the events in the story of life is correct, a pattern will emerge. |
