The Chip
Author: George Jack
Publisher: Page Publishing Inc
ISBN: 1635689058
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 214
Book Description
In a world where computers seem to be taking over, The Chip is on our side. The Chip’s story, although spectacular, begins in the same unspectacular way all of our stories do... Stanley’s parents Jane and James had always wanted to have a child, and knew they would not be complete without one. When Stanley was born, life seemed perfect – at least until the day when Stanley started to develop some strange habits and what some might call “super powers.” Pulled out of his everyday life by tragedy and treachery, Stanley must survive in the cruel word he finds himself in – a world where he becomes the subject of lab testing and learns to survive almost entirely on his own. At the same time, however, he finds one benefit amid the horror: the implants he is given allow him control over his powers. Melding together a flair for the dramatic and a sense of the commonplace, author George Jack brings to life a society in chaos in need of a savior. That savior is “The Chip” Stanley’s super alter-ego. Set in the early 21st century, the story of The Chip reads more like a plausible biography than a work of science fiction. Of course, it is the biography of a young man with super powers and enhanced cybernetics. But no one is perfect.

The Humane Gardener
Author: Nancy Lawson
Publisher: Chronicle Books
ISBN: 1616896175
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 226
Book Description
In this eloquent plea for compassion and respect for all species, journalist and gardener Nancy Lawson describes why and how to welcome wildlife to our backyards. Through engaging anecdotes and inspired advice, profiles of home gardeners throughout the country, and interviews with scientists and horticulturalists, Lawson applies the broader lessons of ecology to our own outdoor spaces. Detailed chapters address planting for wildlife by choosing native species; providing habitats that shelter baby animals, as well as birds, bees, and butterflies; creating safe zones in the garden; cohabiting with creatures often regarded as pests; letting nature be your garden designer; and encouraging natural processes and evolution in the garden. The Humane Gardener fills a unique niche in describing simple principles for both attracting wildlife and peacefully resolving conflicts with all the creatures that share our world.
