You can't plant traminette if you're behind bars . . . When reluctant winery owner Norrie Ellington is gifted with cockroach DNA, she thinks things couldn't get worse. But then the body of a noted developer is found at a neighboring winery, and all fingers point to her friend Madeline Martinez. It doesn't help that Madeline was seen having verbal altercations with the man on two different occasions when he outbid her for lakefront property she planned to use for planting traminette grapes.It's no wonder Madeline has found herself behind bars, and worse yet, someone is gunning for Norrie. With wine to be racked, roach DNA to be stored, and a slew of unsavory suspects, Norrie must put her screenwriting on hold and her sleuthing skills to work before she finds herself alongside her friend, or-heaven forbid-the next victim of a ruthless killer . . .

Stephen details puppyhood, the fun they bring to our households and the sorrow when they are gone:From "Raw Pain", about loss: "Yet bound in this knot of endless despondence, is this essence of love a very odd cadence.A love of such pureness it frightens the soul.A love of such sweetness not many will hold.I wish you backto finish this dance. I wish your return and one more chance.To hold you closeto kiss your sweet face. To hold you closein this sacred space."From "My Girl And Me":"Snuggled up, my girl and me, every night, her place to be.Feeling her by metouching my side, my girl and me along for the ride.Returning each eveningto nestle with me,no place on earthshe would rather be."Eighty-two pages with graphics throughout in Victorian style, with an eye-catching gloss cover.

????? The Telegraph'Gow's book resists the generic conventions of modern nature writing; rambunctious and vivid, at times it feels as uncontrollably wild as its subject.' Helen Macdonald for The New Statesman'Beautifully crafted, fascinating and unbearably poignant, I totally loved this book.' Isabella Tree, author of WildingAuthor of Bringing Back the Beaver and Britain's favourite maverick rewilder Derek Gow embarks on an adventure to uncover the mythology, mystery and history of wolves in Britain. Derek Gow's dream is that one day we will see the return of the wolf to Britain. Wolf rewilding projects have been successfully implemented across the world - so what is holding us back in the UK?Hunt for the Shadow Wolf is Derek's quest to uncover the true nature of this magnificent creature. As Derek worked to reintroduce the beaver, he began to hear stories of the wolf, both real and mythical, and his fascination with it grew. He pieced together fragments of information, stories and artefacts to reveal a shadowy creature that first walked proud through these lands and then was hunted to extinction. What Derek came to realise was that the underlying motives behind our hatred were actually rooted in power and profit. We turned the wolf into a savage beast and saw its extirpation as a civilising mission. But the wolf endured and Derek tells of his sightings through folklore and mythology, the records of grand estates and parish churches as well as wolf heads, both real and recreated. With bitingly funny but also tender stories, Hunt for the Shadow Wolf makes clear why we must reconcile our relationship with this majestic animal before we can begin to bring it back to these lands.

Going to the DogsWhen a screenwriter was found dead in the dog park, it soon transpired that a lot of people had an excellent reason to want him dead. Unfortunately they also had excellent alibis. And so it's safe to say we had our work cut out for us, especially when we learned that the dead man had discovered the secret to eternal life. A pill he had developed that would make people live forever. But was he for real or a fraud? And was this Infinity pill the reason he was killed?I would have given the case my full attention if Marge hadn't decided to take us all to the pet salon, figuring we were in need of a beauty treatment. She demanded I receive the 'full package' and so I did. If only I had known what was in store for me I would have refused in the strongest possible terms. And then there was the fact that our home was being invaded by no less than two pets: a French poodle and an anole lizard. It was enough to make any detective despair!

Mama helped with the typing, but these are my stories about my puppy years. You will read about animals I befriended, happy times on the trails, and times when I was in trouble or scared by lightning, rattlesnakes, bees, and rain beetles to name a few. I have left the fence line unguarded too long now so I have to take off. Mama can continue from here.When Maggie joined our family, we hoped she would fill the void left by the loss of our first dog, Toots. We wanted a dog to be an ambassador on the trail, to love snow and water play, and to get along with other animals and people. At first, Maggie and Toots seemed like polar opposites. Ultimately, love proved to be the defining similarity and Maggie was so much more than a replacement.It has been an honor to share Maggie's first years, and now with the arrival of two grandchildren, there is so much joy seeing her welcome Eve and Eli into our pack and our lives.

Immerse yourself in the world of apiculture like never before with The Intuitive Beekeeper: Beyond Master Beekeeping. Jonathan Adam Hargus guides you on a profound journey, laying bare the complex trinity of the honey bee colony, the plant kingdom, and the heart-centered beekeeper. This book delves into the crucial need for beekeepers to slow down, observe, and foster an understanding that transcends traditional knowledge.This isn't just a book; it's an invitation to a paradigm shift. This book dares you to shun profit-driven approaches, urging you to cultivate an environment where bees, plants, and humans coexist harmoniously for mutual benefit. Through a blend of personal experiences and scientific insights, Hargus unveils the beauty of the symbiotic relationships and the miracles it can spawn.Hargus also introduces the concept of intuitive beekeeping-an insight that springs from year-round observation of bee behavior relative to plant cycles. This intuition, he argues, far exceeds the knowledge gleaned from books or short courses. The Intuitive Beekeeper is a testament to Hargus's two decades of experience and is sure to inspire, educate, and revolutionize your approach to beekeeping.

Epigenetic modifications comprise heritable gene expression changes that occur without alteration of the DNA sequence and 'co-act' with genetic factors to shape development processes and evolutionary trajectories. Multicellular organisms receive different types of environmental stimuli/stresses that trigger epigenetic modifications during development. These environmentally driven mechanisms represent an underlying cause of phenotypic diversity, especially in metazoans. This book aims to present some of the latest epigenetic insights into the development of metazoans (including humans) as an intersection between their ecology and evolution.

This book presents the discoveries made during nearly three decades of research on the parental shield bug, Parastrachia japonensis inhabiting Kyushu Island, Japan. P. japonensis has evolved a unique and fascinating life history, characterized by extreme behavioral and physiological adaptations that have culminated in a singularly dependent relationship with its lone host tree, Schoepfia jasminodora (Olacaceae), which is a generally scarce and unreliable resource.It is expected that the evolution of parental care behaviors in the strictly semelparous P. japonensis was more directly influenced by the benefit to females that arises from enhanced survivorship of current offspring, rather than any possible cost the females might incur in terms of reduced future reproductive success, because no future reproduction is possible. The authors explain how the different parental cares in this species enhance offspring survivorship in the context of the ecological conditions it has experienced over evolutionary time.The book begins with a recap of the earliest studies, the reports through 1991, and then introduces the many fascinating aspects of the life history, neurobiology, physiology and behavior of P. japonensis that have been newly discovered since, and those aspects that have been confirmed through experimentation over the past thirty years. This comprehensive review of information will be useful for comparative studies of parental care in other semelparous and iteroparous organisms experiencing both similar and different ecological constraints. The book will be of academic interest to undergraduate and graduate students of entomology, zoology, behavior, and behavioral ecology.
