Birds: Nature's Magnificent Flying Machines
This is a well done and highly recommended book.
Birds... is highly specialized. It deals with only one topic: Bird flight. I like that. Who needs just another book on birds. Demonstrating to the little ones that there are questions that can be asked about nature, and interesting explanations, and even some experiments, one can do is a clear step above the pretty picture and the cute story.
The illustrations are excellent. You may have seen Wynne's illustrations previously in the African Savanna
At the very least, this book has value because it introduces kids to the fact that birds don't just sit there looking pretty and making noise, and they don't just fly from place. They have more complex behaviors that vary across species and across context.
By the way, the author, Caroline Arnold, is a home-girl from Minneapolis! As you can tell because of the excellence of her work.

You both will be shocked - shocked - to learn that the discussion that is so elusive to Signout occurs with regularity, professionalism and comfort by nurses with the infants' parents and families. And that it isn't hidden or covered up. But that Signout is oblivious to it because he hasn't engaged nurses in discussion about it. Ignorance is not bliss. I tried to lead him to striking up these conversations on his own. Ah, but subtlety is lost here.
A former colleague of mine, experiencing symptoms associated with burgeoning schizophrenia, went to a therapist who eventually told him to stop his work on evolutionary biology, become a born-again christian, and reject Satan's influence; in other words, this state-sponsored counsellor was simply a recruiting agent for a local church.
That kind of behavior couldn't possibly reflect anything in general about the medical profession, because the medical profession has been completely expunged of all paternalistic, patriarchal, and/or arrogant attitudes on the part of physicians and surgeons towards patients and/or other participants in the medical enterprise.

The alleged abuse came from Ray Stark, who produced Barbaraâs 1968 smash-hit, âFunny Girl,â and her 1973 duet with Robert Redford, âThe Way We Were.â And Jon says that Babs was so scarred by the treatment, sheâs still not recovered all these years later.

"supratall" is a spambot reusing chunks from the thread, presumably to get its linked URL a Google boost.
Don't click the link behind the name without shields up.
It's hitting Scienceblogs quite hard the last few days.
If the corporate masters have a filter, they should apply it.
