Rhona has the divvy gift; she can see who is fertile and who is a cursed and outcast Shun. The people of the Deom depend on the divvys for survival, but it is a hard and brutal gift. As long as Rhona's mother was alive, Rhona had followed the old ways, but now her mother is dead and Rhona is free. She has one last promise to fulfill: to find her mother's friend Selina and help her. Rhona finds Selina, only to become enmeshed in Selina's vengeance against the body-stealing Rider, who has destroyed Selina's son. Selina's plan fails and she dies. Or does she? With the Rider pursuing her, Rhona flees across the land of Deo, desperate to keep her word and hide the one thing that might destroy the Rider. Rhona, her son Jak, her lover Matteo the Shun, and the strange girl called Aniles work together to discover the secrets of the Rider - and the true nature of the land of Deo.

A Groundbreaking Guide to the HPV Vaccine and the science, safety, and business Behind It Cancer strikes fear in people’s hearts around globe. So the appearance of a vaccine to prevent cancer–as we are assured the human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine will–seemed like a game-changer. Since 2006, over eighty countries have approved the vaccine, with glowing endorsements from the world’s foremost medical authorities. Bringing in over $2.5 billion in annual sales, the HPV vaccine is a pharmaceutical juggernaut. Yet scandal now engulfs it worldwide. The HPV Vaccine on Trial is a shocking tale, chronicling the global efforts to sell and compel this alleged miracle. The book opens with the vaccine’s invention, winds through its regulatory labyrinths, details the crushing denial and dismissal of reported harms and deaths, and uncovers the enormous profits pharma and inventors have reaped. Authors Holland, Mack Rosenberg, and Iorio drill down into the clinical trial data, government approvals, advertising, and personal accounts of egregious injuries that have followed in countries as far-flung as Japan, Australia, Colombia, India, Ireland, the U.K. and Denmark. The authors have written an unprecedented exposé about this vaunted vaccine. Written in plain language, the book is for everyone concerned – parents, patients, doctors, nurses, scientists, healthcare organizations, government officials, and schools. Ultimately, this book is not just about the HPV vaccine, but about how industry, government, and medical authorities may be putting the world’s children in harm’s way.

Part handy field guide, part natural history book, this bountiful reference satisfies curiosities about the flora and fauna of New England. Hundreds of spectacular photographs provide a close look at regional animal and plant life, from tracks, dens, and nests to hunting, breeding, and hibernating. Organized by month to display a variety of wildlife throughout the seasons, this unique nature guide is full of maps, statistics, and quick facts, and also includes in-depth discussions of some of the most interesting nature events New England has to offer. Are you ready to explore a milkweed patch alongside a monarch butterfly? For a barred owl’s late-winter call to take on new meaning? For the life cycle of the eastern newt to suddenly seem complex, beautiful, and intricately bound to mysterious underwater landscapes and damp forest floors? Naturalist and environmental educator Mary Holland’s visually astounding book, and winner of the 2011 National Outdoor Book Award for best nature guidebook, Naturally Curious promises a walk in the woods (or a field or wetland) will never be the same. With boundless enthusiasm and a lifetime’s-worth of natural history knowledge, Holland escorts you through the New England seasons, month by month—in sun, rain, and snow; along roadsides and riverbanks; above burrows and under treetop nesting sites. Beginning with March and its early stirrings of life “awakening” after a long cold winter, and ending in February as survival becomes the sole focus of all plants and creatures, great and small, Holland provides hundreds of fascinating “Nature Notes.” These bite-size nuggets of fact-based information detail a species’ actions in a particular month—whether courting, breeding, singing, burrowing, migrating, or caching food, for example. In addition, you'll find pertinent lists of the amphibians, reptiles, birds, mammals, insects and arachnids, and plants and fungi you might expect to see or hear from as the weeks go by. But that’s not all: Each month culminates in specially chosen essays, where Holland gets up-close-and personal with New England plant and animal life and some of their more intriguing typicalities and peculiarities, illustrating their impact on the region and those who share it. Throughout, the many exciting and varied “worlds” of the Northeast explode upon the page in an unmatched visual display of full-color photographs. From the minutiae (the migration of the tiny snow flea on a warm winter’s day) to the massive (the wallowing practices of the bull moose in rut) this is the region and its inhabitants like you've never seen them before. By deftly melding the practical field guide we all need with the kind of book we all want to sit back and read, Holland does New England—and those who live in it, visit it, and love it—an immense service. Adults and children alike are sure to be fascinated by the natural world in this book, in their backyard, and even further afield. Naturally Curious is truly an “into this world” experience.

Animal Eyes (Arbordale Collection)

The sense of sight helps an animal stay safe from predators, find food and shelter, defend its territory and care for its young. We can tell a lot about an animal from its eyes: whether it is predator or prey, whether it is more active during the day or night, and sometimes even its gender or age. Award-winning nature photographer and environmental educator Mary Holland shares fascinating animal eyes with readers of all ages.

Animals

Al igual que los humanos, los animales usan sus casas como refugio y para cuidar a los más pequeños. Las casas de los animales pueden ser fáciles de ver, o pueden estar escondidas (camufladas) para su protección. Algunos animales son grandes constructores mientras que otros toman prestadas las casas que otros animales han hecho. Diferentes animales pueden usar lugares naturales como cuevas o agujeros en los árboles para hacer sus casas. ¡E incluso algunos animales pueden llevar sus casas sobre sus propias espaldas! Palitos, barro, hojas, algodón y césped son todos elementos que los animales pueden usar para construir una casa. Las pueden hacer excavando, dando vueltas, construyendo o tomándolas prestadas, las casas de los animales son tan variadas como ellos mismos. Esta es una secuela perfecta a la serie de Anatomía y Adaptaciones de los Animales de Mary Holland.
