Book Description
Crow Party is a whimsical look at the behavior of crows, written in a tone of lighthearted annoyance with the many antics that we encounter with our mischievous feathered friends. The story shares snippets of advice in dealing with crows, from a lightly humorous perspective geared at teaching children observance of wildlife and respect for the creatures that have learned to share urban areas with us. From their "CAW, CAW, CAW" communications calling friends, family and enemies, to their artful ways of stealing food from farms, backyards and trash cans, it is a story of crows and their party-prone behavior, teaching about their interaction, communication and intelligence. Artist Nick McCarthy brilliantly brings crows in the book to life, capturing their antics with his dynamic pointillism technique. Written by a Planner and sustainability specialist, the book teaches children, in an enjoyable way, to look at nature more thoughtfully. Graphic design for the book layout professionally done by Jeanette Cappiello.

Political Affairs
Bob Crow: Socialist, leader, fighter
Author: Gregor Gall
Publisher: Manchester University Press
ISBN: 1526100304
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 348
Book Description
Bob Crow was the most high-profile and militant union leader of his generation. This biography focuses on his leadership of the RMT union, examining and exposing a number of popular myths created about him by political opponents. Using the schema of his personal characteristics (including his public persona), his politics and the power of his members, it explains how and why he was able to punch above his weight in industrial relations and on the political stage, helping the small RMT union become as influential as many of its much larger counterparts. As RMT leader, Crow oversaw a rise in membership and promoted a more assertive and successful bargaining approach. While he failed to unite all socialists into one new party, he established himself as the leading popular critic of neo-liberalism, 'New' Labour and the age of austerity.

Book Description
"I, Ta-o-ya-te-du-ta, am not a coward. I will die with you." With this statement, Little Crow reluctantly put himself at the head of the Indian forces in the Dakota War of 1862. Twice before he had risked his life to lead his people. To become chief of his band he had told the warriors to kill him or follow him. Tribal spokesman, politician, war leader -- these three positions were worth his life to Little Crow but created for him a never-resolved personal dilemma.
