Albert Schweitzer

Collection of observations and reflections on the animal world during his time in Africa. Schweitzer spent many years in Africa as a medical missionary, and during his time there, he became fascinated with the animal world. He observed the behavior of animals in their natural habitat and reflected on the lessons that could be learned from them. The book is divided into chapters, each of which focuses on a different animal or group of animals. Schweitzer writes about elephants, lions, crocodiles, and many other creatures. He discusses their behavior, their relationships with each other, and their place in the ecosystem. Throughout the book, Schweitzer emphasizes the importance of reverence for life. He argues that all living beings, including animals, deserve respect and dignity. He believes that humans have a responsibility to protect and care for the natural world, and that this is essential for our own well-being. The Animal World of Albert Schweitzer is a thought-provoking and insightful book that offers a unique perspective on the natural world. It is a must-read for anyone interested in animal behavior, environmentalism, or philosophy.

A Novel

At once an old-fashioned-buddy-novel-shoot-'em-up and a work of deliciously imagined fantasy, Howard L. Anderson's dazzling debut presents the haunting story of a world where something has gone horribly awry . . .

Having escaped from Australia's Adelaide Zoo, an orphaned platypus named Albert embarks on a journey through the outback in search of "Old Australia," a rumored land of liberty, promise, and peace. What he will find there, however, away from the safe confinement of his enclosure for the first time since his earliest memories, proves to be a good deal more than he anticipated.

Alone in the outback, with an empty soft drink bottle as his sole possession, Albert stumbles upon pyromaniacal wombat Jack, and together they spend a night drinking and gambling in Ponsby Station, a rough-and-tumble mining town. Accused of burning down the local mercantile, the duo flees into menacing dingo territory and quickly go their separate ways-Albert to pursue his destiny in the wastelands, Jack to reconcile his past.

Encountering a motley assortment of characters along the way-a pair of invariably drunk bandicoots, a militia of kangaroos, hordes of the mercurial dingoes, and a former prize-fighting Tasmanian devil-our unlikely hero will discover a strength and skill for survival he never suspected he possessed.

Told with equal parts wit and compassion, Albert of Adelaide shows how it is often the unexpected route, and the most improbable companions, that lead us on the path to who we really are. Who you journey with, after all, is far more important than wherever it is you are going.

The Somewhat True Story of a Man, His Wife, and Her Alligator

Big Fish meets The Notebook in this emotionally evocative story about a man, a woman, and an alligator that is a moving tribute to love, from the New York Times bestselling author of the award-winning memoir Rocket Boys--the basis of the movie October Sky.

Elsie Lavender and Homer Hickam (the father of the author) were high school classmates in the West Virginia coalfields, graduating just as the Great Depression began. When Homer asked for her hand, Elsie instead headed to Orlando where she sparked with a dancing actor named Buddy Ebsen (yes, that Buddy Ebsen). But when Buddy headed for New York, Elsie's dreams of a life with him were crushed and eventually she found herself back in the coalfields, married to Homer.

Unfulfilled as a miner's wife, Elsie was reminded of her carefree days with Buddy every day because of his unusual wedding gift: an alligator named Albert she raised in the only bathroom in the house. When Albert scared Homer by grabbing his pants, he gave Elsie an ultimatum: "Me or that alligator!" After giving it some thought, Elsie concluded there was only one thing to do: Carry Albert home.

Carrying Albert Home is the funny, sweet, and sometimes tragic tale of a young couple and a special alligator on a crazy 1,000-mile adventure. Told with the warmth and down-home charm that made Rocket Boys a beloved bestseller, Homer Hickam's rollicking tale is ultimately a testament to that strange and marvelous emotion we inadequately call love.

Brad Meltzer

One of the greatest scientists the world has ever known Albert Einstein is the 4th hero in the New York Times bestselling picture book biography series for ages 5 to 8.

Even when he was a kid, Albert Einstein did things his own way. He thought in pictures instead of words, and his special way of thinking helped him understand big ideas like the structure of music and why a compass always points north. Those ideas made him want to keep figuring out the secrets of the universe. Other people thought he was just a dreamer, but because of his curiosity, Einstein grew up to change the world with his discoveries and theories.

This friendly, fun biography series inspired the PBS Kids TV show Xavier Riddle and the Secret Museum. One great role model at a time, these books encourage kids to dream big. Included in each book are-

. A timeline of key events in the hero's history
. Photos that bring the story more fully to life
. Comic-book-style illustrations that are irresistibly adorable
. Childhood moments that influenced the hero
. Facts that make great conversation-starters
. A character trait that made the person heroic and that readers can aspire to

You'll want to collect each book in this dynamic, informative series!

The Somewhat True Story of a Man, His Wife and Her Alligator

'Must-read... A funny yet tragic tale of a husband and wife's car journey across the US with Albert the alligator in tow. Yes, really.' Marie Claire



A journey of a thousand miles. With an alligator on the back seat. And John Steinbeck as a passenger.



This is a tale where everything is true,except the bits that are made up.

In 1930s America, the Great Depression made everyone's horizons smaller, and Elsie Lavender found herself back where she began, in the coalfields of West Virginia.

She had just one memento of her halcyon days - a baby alligator named Albert.



Then one day, her husband's stoical patience snapped and Elsie had to choose between Homer and Albert.

She decided that there was only one thing to do: they would carry Albert home to Florida.



And so began their odyssey - a journey like no other, where Elsie, Homer and Albert encountered everything from movie stars and revolutionaries to Ernest Hemingway and hurricanes in their struggle to find love, redemption,

and a place to call home.



From the bestselling author of Rocket Boys-the basis of the movie October Sky-comes a long-awaited prequel. Big Fish meets The Notebook in this novel about a man, a woman, and their alligator.
