Book Description
Striking photographic images paired with stories and statements by birds, mammals, and reptiles cast light on some of humanity’s most sacred writings. Speaking rhinos and puffins are no more unlikely than talking humans; and considering where all of our talk has gotten us (the brink of extinction), it is time we listened to our fellow creatures. They are funny, thoughtful, observant, and like the Hebrew prophets they point out the worst in us and elicit the best, giving straight talk of warning and of hope. In these pages a pigeon with travel anxiety, Geraldine the matter-of-fact Florida Cooter, Schmidt the twigfitter songbird, Mephistophelean alligators, vanishing bison of the prairies, and lions of Africa and Asia “hold . . . the mirror up to nature” and show us our unlikely and imperfect human face.

Book Description
When Dolphins Ruled the Earth is a satirical fantasy, following the plight of Adam Barnard as he journeys from a successful business executive to a genuine human being. Adam encounters a strange nurse, a curious Scottish salmon, and dolphins with arms and legs, who speak perfectly good English. The Dolphins tell him they once ruled the Earth; they had jobs, houses, cars, Governments, banks, supermarkets and incredibly some dolphins were even estate agents! Adam, along with Professor Van Halen and a Dolphin called Zinc must find secret scrolls, which reveal how to fight against global greed and defeat man sharks; before the entire planet is engulfed in total confusion. When Dolphins ruled the Earth is complete, coherent and well written, it is often very funny, and the story simple and compelling. I enjoyed it very much.

Book Description
Including music by various gospel composers as well as hymns and spirituals made famous by Mahalia Jackson, this is a joyous celebration of the life and music of the world's greatest gospel singer: a humble, deeply religious woman whose expressive, full throated voice carried her from a three room shanty in New Orleans to appearances before presidents and royalty. The joy and inspiration of her heartfelt songs provide a counterpoint to the urgent messages delivered by her friend, Martin Luther King. Standing at his side, Mahalia Jackson became the musical voice of the civil rights movement. Mahalia uses simple staging, only three actors, and piano and organ accompaniments to showcase 22 great gospel numbers in a moving, often humorous musical tribute.
