Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Spotlights a ‘dream team’ of scientists as they work to determine what is threatening bee colonies and (by extension) agriculture . . . fascinating.”—Booklist (starred review) Without honey bees the world would be a different place. There would be no honey, no beeswax for candles, and—worst of all—barely a fruit, nut, or vegetable to eat. So imagine beekeeper Dave Hackenburg’s horror when he discovered twenty million of his charges had vanished. Those missing bees became the first casualties of a mysterious scourge that continues to plague honey bee populations today. In The Hive Detectives, Loree Griffin Burns profiles bee wranglers and bee scientists who have been working to understand colony collapse disorder, or CCD. In this dramatic and enlightening story, readers explore the lives of the fuzzy, buzzy insects and learn what might happen to us if they were gone. “Throughout the presentation, readers learn about the anatomy, development, and social behavior of honey bees, and observe the process of scientific investigation and its vital, real-world application.”—Booklist (starred review) “An appendix adds varied fascinating facts about bees—again using the format of an illustrated research journal. Harasimowicz’s clear, beautifully reproduced photographs support and extend the text. Readers . . . will be well served by this example of a scientific mystery still unsolved.”—Kirkus Reviews (starred review) “Clear color photographs of beekeepers, scientists, equipment, close-ups of bees, hives, etc., complement the text on every page. Youngsters concerned with the environment will find this meticulously researched title a valuable resource.”—School Library Journal

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Part caper crime, part screwball comedy and part political satire, The Detectives Discount is a quirky spin on the detective novel. Ted Shackelford is not your typical literary detective. He's neither super-tough like Philip Marlow super-smart like Sherlock Holmes nor. He's a screw-up, the bungler. But he's trying his hardest. After being laid off from his job as a department store security guard, Ted stumbles into a job as a private investigator at the obscure Discount Investigations Agency. He's hired by chief investigator Ray Loveburn, who has a sketchy past, scruples few and far more confidence than common sense. Soon after joining the agency, Ted is assigned to the Space Inc. case, and from there on his life is taken over by alter egos, shady characters, complicated financial schemes, rich wannabe astronauts, leering politicians, angry Tea Partiers and the vagabond prophet of economic doom. Run by industrial tycoon and political libertarian O.P. Good, Space Inc. has grand aspirations but there is little evidence That It Is Actually building a rocket. Despite a series of disguises and fake identities, Ted and Ray get nowhere on the case. Meanwhile, Ted is Also trying to find clues about the mysterious financial bet Placed against the U.S. government's credit standing, made urgent by the showdown in Congress over the country's budget. Soon Ted is thrust into a role he does not feel at all equipped for: Trying to save the world suddenly on the brink of economic collapse.
