Book excerpt: At first glance, nothing moves in the desert. This is the 'Dead Heart' of central Australia. But the so-called Dead Heart has its secrets. Hidden in this harsh environment is an extraordinary and diverse wildlife. Often its only trace is a pattern in the sand. 'Sand Swimmers' follows in the footsteps of explorer, Charles Sturt, who saw 'this terrible, terrible desert' as a truly dead place, with 'not a living thing to be seen; not an ant, not a cricket, not a grasshopper.' Through beautiful, evocative linocut illustrations, this book revisits those hostile desertscapes to take a closer look. Here one discovers many fascinating creatures and their ingenious methods of survival in this unique habitat.

The "Beach" is located in Ontario, Canada, on the clean, clear shores of Georgian Bay. Jack and her friends have put aside all their concerns about school and homework to concentrate on the more important aspects of the summer- swimming and having fun! The summer routine seems to have a wrinkle in it when an odd group moves into the cabin at the top of the ridge. What is it about these people that both intrigues Jack and sets her nerves on edge? Why are they so odd... or are they? Maybe Jack is just being a bit over sensitive.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Just as George Plimpton had his proverbial cup of coffee in the NFL as the un-recruited and certainly unwanted fourth-string quarterback for the Detroit Lions, so, too, did Will McGough immerse himself in a sport he had no business trying. Like Plimpton, whose football folly turned into the bestselling Paper Lion, travel and outdoor writer McGough writes of his participation in, around, and over the course of one of the world's premier triathlons, the annual 140.6-mile Ironman in Tempe, Arizona. McGough chronicles the Ironman’s history, his unorthodox training, the pageantry of the race weekend, and his attempt to finish the epic event. The narrative follows not just his race but also explores the cult and habits of the triathlete community, beginning with the first Ironman competition in Hawaii in 1978. This is a light-hearted, self-deprecating, and at times hilarious look at one man's attempt to conquer the ultimate endurance sport, with a conclusion that will surprise and delight both dedicated triathletes as well as strangers to the sport.

Along the jungle’s edge, a single starling has been tasked with stopping the silver-eyed from infecting the rest of the jungle.

When starlings start getting cut off from the murmuration, it’s up to both Nighteyes and Whisper to solve the mystery before the leader of the starlings orders entire prides culled.
