Birds of Prey - Tom Jackson

With full captions explaining how these species hunt and feed, nest, and rear their young, Birds of Prey is a brilliant examination in outstanding color photographs. Birds of prey—or raptors—are some of the most captivating bird species in the world. Think of eagles and condors, vultures, hawks, and kites, but also owls and ospreys. Think of the peregrine falcon, which, reaching speeds of up to 200 mph, is the world’s fastest animal—when diving. From the New World Caracaras to the Oriental Hobby, the Northern Goshawk to the Swamp Harrier to the European Merlin, Birds of Prey explores the fascinating lifecycles, habitats, diets, and, where applicable, migratory patterns, of more than 100 species from all around the world. They primarily hunt and feed on vertebrates that are large relative to the hunter. They have keen eyesight, being able to spot their prey from great distances, and strong feet equipped with talons for grasping or killing prey, and powerful, curved beaks for tearing flesh. In addition to hunting live prey, most also eat carrion, at least occasionally, and vultures and condors eat carrion as their main food source.

Oracleova tajemství konečně odhalena! V této knize série BIRDS OF PREY vyjde najevo původ nového Oraclea – vynikajícího hackera, který se stal neocenitelným spojencem Birds of Prey! Neohrozí ale Oracleovo spojení se zločinným mozkem známým jako Calculator jeho vztahy s Batgirl, Black Canary a Huntress? A jak do toho zapadá Catwoman a další neviděný záporák? Navíc musí Black Canary odejít do utajení, aby odhalila tajemství ženy zvané Blackbird, která dokáže odblokovat skutečný potenciál jakéhokoli superhrdiny. S vylepšováním schopností se však Blackbird nespokojí – krade je pro sebe a buduje tak armádu o jediném vojákovi, čímž ohrožuje ta největší tajemství Birds of Prey. Dokážou hosté jako Green Arrow či Nightwing tohoto neuvěřitelného nového protivníka porazit? Nebo se přidají na seznam jejích nejnovějších obětí? Nejlepší superhrdinský tým Gothamu se v knize BIRDS OF PREY 2: ZDROJOVÝ KÓD stává silou, se kterou je nutné počítat.

Neskončí poslední let Birds of Prey karambolem? Birds of Prey jsou víc než jen tým: Batgirl, Black Canary a Huntress jsou kámošky, kumpánky a ségry. I když se členská základna týmu rozroste o Catwoman, Poison Ivy, a dokonce i Harley Quinnovou, jeho jádrem zůstávají tři hrdinky – Barbara, Dinah a Helena. Co se však stane, když důvěru, která je spojuje, naruší zrada? Barbara Gordonová není jen Batgirl – je také špičkovou hackerkou, známou pod jménem Oracle, která se prolomila do počítačového systému nebezpečného překupníka informací, který si říká Calculator, aby krůček po krůčku zlikvidovala jeho zločinný byznys. Když si však Calculator udělá z nalezení a zničení Oracle životní poslání, odhalí Dinah s Helenou, že k nim Barbara nebyla úplně upřímná ohledně zdroje svých informací... a v křížové palbě začnou umírat nevinní. Ve chvíli, kdy se proti nim spojí nejnebezpečnější a nejosobnější nepřátelé, spolu Birds sotva promluví. Dokáží se znovu sjednotit... nebo jednou a provždy padnou?

‘The Britons are like the red kite and hunt what they can… but we are the Empire’s eagles that take what we want.’It has been twelve years since Faustus Valerianus first arrived in Britain, a centurion in the conquering Roman army. Many battles have been won, many allegiances gained. But those victories hide a more complex truth.In West Britain, the powerful Silures led by King Loarn plot their rebellion, fighting back against the now diminished strength of their Roman occupiers.

A battle for their lives. It is 1667 and the war between the Dutch and the English continues apace. Sir Francis Courtney, his son Hal and their crew are carried around the southern tip of the African colonies by the good ship Lady Edwina, licensed to attack and seize the treasure-laden ships of the Dutch East India company. When they capture a Dutch trader and hold the passengers to ransom, Sir Francis hopes only for a good price and a small sense of satisfaction. But this is unlawful territory they sail in. An unexpected betrayal will mean the men on board will face greater peril than they have ever faced before - and many good men may never see home again . . .

Říká si Občan a zaměřuje se na místní boháče a zkorumpované mocné. A teď si jako svůj další cíl vybral právě Ollieho. Green Arrow je tak donucen vést válku na dvou frontách: jako Smaragdový střelec musí zachraňovat boháče před Občanem, ať už si to zaslouží, nebo ne, zatímco brání svůj vlastní odkaz jako předseda Queen Industries. Záda mu kryjí jeho právnička Kate Spencerová a jeho partnerka Black Canary. Ale Liga spravedlnosti, Titáni a Sebevražedný oddíl Amandy Wallerové mu chtějí položit své vlastní otázky. Mezitím se Občan připravuje na soudní proces století: lid versus Oliver Queen. A pokud bude obžalovaný shledán vinným, znamená to pro něj jen jediné: trest smrti… Scenáristky Julie a Shawna Bensonovy (THE BIRDS OF PREY) a kreslíř Javier Fernandez rozpoutají hněv davu v příběhu GREEN ARROW: SMRTÍCÍ HLAS LIDU.

Chakraborty, featuring a reversible jacket, stamped book case, designed endpapers, and stenciled edges.On the streets of eighteenth-century Cairo, Nahri is a con woman of unsurpassed skill. She makes her living swindling Ottoman nobles, hoping to one day earn enough to change her fortunes. But when Nahri accidentally summons Dara, an equally sly, darkly mysterious djinn warrior, during one of her cons, she learns that even the cleverest of schemes can have deadly consequences.Forced to flee Cairo, Dara and Nahri journey together across hot, windswept sands teeming with creatures of fire and rivers where the mythical marid sleep, past ruins of once-magnificent human metropolises and mountains where the circling birds of prey are more than what they seem, to Daevabad, the legendary city of brass.It’s a city steeped in magic and fire, where blood can be as dangerous as any spell; a city where old resentments run deep and the royal court rules with a tenuous grip; a city to which Nahri is irrevocably bound—and where her very presence threatens to ignite a war that has been ...

The Courage of Birds - Pete Dunne

A recommended "bird-related book to give this season" by The Washington PostFrom our own backyards to the rim of the Arctic ice, countless birds have adapted to meet the challenges of the winter season. This is their remarkable story, told by award-winning birder and acclaimed writer Pete Dunne, accompanied by illustrations from renowned artist and birder David Sibley.Despite the seasonal life-sapping cold, birds have evolved strategies that meet winter’s vicissitudes head on, driven by the imperative to make it to spring and pass down their genes to the next generation. The drama of winter and the resilience and adaptability of birds witnessed in the harsher months of the calendar is both fascinating and astonishing.In The Courage of Birds, Pete Dunne—winner of the American Birding Association’s Roger Tory Peterson Award for lifetime achievement in promoting the cause of birding—chronicles the behavior of the birds of North America.

The Meaning of Birds - Simon Barnes

One of our most eloquent nature writers offers a passionate and informative celebration of birds and their ability to help us understand the world we live in. As well as exploring how birds achieve the miracle of flight; why birds sing; what they tell us about the seasons of the year and what their presence tells us about the places they inhabit, The Meaning of Birds muses on the uses of feathers, the drama of raptors, the slaughter of pheasants, the infidelities of geese, and the strangeness of feeling sentimental about blue tits while enjoying a chicken sandwich. From the mocking-birds of the Galapagos who guided Charles Darwin toward his evolutionary theory, to the changing patterns of migration that alert us to the reality of contemporary climate change, Simon Barnes explores both the intrinsic wonder of what it is to be a bird – and the myriad ways in which birds can help us understand the meaning of life.

Birds of Maine - Michael DeForge

Take flight to this post-apocalyptic utopia filled with birds.Long after the demise of humankind, birds roam freely around a new earth complete with fruitful trees, sophisticated fungal networks, and an enviable socialist order. The universal worm feeds all, there are no weekends, and economics is as fantastical a study as unicorn psychology. No concept of money or wealth plagues the thoughts of these free-minded birds. Instead, there are angsty teens who form bands to show off their best bird song and other youngsters who yearn to become clothing designers even though clothes are only necessary during war. (The truly honorable professions for most birds are historian or librarian.) These birds are free to crush on hot pelicans and live their best lives until a crash-landed human from the moon threatens to change everything.Michael DeForge’s post-apocalyptic reality brings together the author’s quintessential deadpan humor, surrealist imagination, and undeniable sociopolitical insight. Appearing originally as a webcomic, Birds of Maine follows DeForge’s prolific trajectory of astounding graphic novels that reimagine and question the world as we know it. His latest comic captures the optimistic glow of utopian imagination with a late-capitalism sting of irony.
