Life is hard in the woods. Spring should have sprung but day after day and night after night it has been raining. Worms are hard to find; they’ve buried themselves deep down in the ground. Badger has to roam away from his normal territory to find food for himself and his family. Fox cannot find enough to feed himself either and Tawny Owl cannot hunt in the rain. On the beach all is well. Rain doesn’t matter. The seaside animals are in no danger of starvation. However, the stream on the beach has flooded and Badger is stranded on the wrong side. He can’t get home before daybreak. It takes great courage and ingenuity from Crab to find a solution. But Badger is ungrateful. Crab is angry at his rudeness and vows never to speak to him again. Has their friendship been ruined? Teamwork, ingenuity and tenacity are needed to counteract the devastating effects of global warming on the natural world and to maintain important friendships.

Book Description
Jenny had tried unsuccessfully to forget the time, over fifty years ago, when she found the body and the ruby ring on the Devon beach. It was easy to hide the ring in her special box, but not so easy to hide the guilty memories. Now aged 65, she lives a comfortable and enjoyable life in Bristol. Then her granddaughters visit; they discover the ring and Jenny’s cosy world changes. Her granddaughters insist she tries to find the owner of the ring and return it. Jenny embarks on a mission that re-unites her with her cousin Margaret. They return to Devon to attempt to piece together the events. Was it a murder or an accident? Did the dead woman have a family? They track down a reporter who covered the story at the time. But is he telling the truth? The surprising journey to find an owner for the ring takes them from a world of street prostitution, child abuse and abduction to a possible cover up by the Catholic church. A young woman’s life is changed by Jenny and Margaret’s intervention and Jenny herself discovers a new perspective on her own life.

Book Description
The ten geological field guides presented in this volume explore key areas of the geologist's paradise that is Washington State and British Columbia. These trips investigate a wide variety of geological and geographical terrains, from the dry steppe of the channeled scablands and Columbia River basalt group to the east, across the glaciated and forested Cascade arc and Coast Mountains, to the geologically complex islands in the west. This guidebook may be unique in that four of the trips utilize boats to reach remote field areas and are therefore rarely visited by geologists.

Book Description
This heavily illustrated book contains descriptions and geologic interpretations of photographs (mostly aerial) illustrating the power and magnitude of repeated Ice Age flooding in the Pacific Northwest, as recently as 14,000 years ago. The scale of Ice Age floods was so huge that today it is often difficult to see and appreciate the power and magnitude of such megafloods from ground level. However, from the air, landforms created by the floods often come into clear focus. Aerial images, obtained via unmanned aerial vehicle (drone) as well as fixed-wing airplane, add a new perspective on evidence gathered by dozens of scientists since 1923.
