Beehler is keen to know what efforts are being made to preserve and restore bird habitats, and he reports on his many conversations with those who are making it happen, exploring their work and the problems they face. A lifelong bird-watcher, the author records the species he saw at each stop along the way as well as notable flora and other fauna. A nature-memoir homage to Edwin Way Teale’s classic North with the Spring (1951), an account of a 17,000-mile journey following the migration of birds from Florida to New England.īeehler ( Lost Worlds: Adventures in the Tropical Rainforest, 2008, etc.), an ornithologist with the Smithsonian Museum of Natural History, was first introduced to Teale’s account by his mother, who spent her free time “prowling the local library in search of nature in the written word and bringing her discoveries home to share with us.” Here, the author chronicles his similar journey, tracking the spring migration of songbirds from the coast of Texas up the Mississippi Valley into Canada and then down into the Adirondacks. ![]() ![]() ![]() Listen to me and learn the difference between a man who knows pleasure should be shared, nae just taken.

Proud Taste for Scarlet and Miniver by Konigsburg, E.L. ![]() ![]() ![]() So that I don't make a complete ass of myself, I'm making some notes about the important features of the story. My usual mode involves lecturing and equations, so trying to lead a discussion of a literary work will be an unusual experience. It's been fifteen years since I took a literature class, and I've never really taught a discussion class. ![]() This will be a different experience for me. My guest spot will be this Friday, and I sat in on a class last week (where they discussed a Zelazny story and one of Bradbury's Martian Chronicles) to get an idea of what the class is usually like. I'm going to be talking about Ted Chiang's "Story of Your Life," whose connection to the hypothetical should be obvious to people who have read it, but is a spoiler for those who haven't.

His vision of self is a very healthy one. I can’t truly have a healthy relationship at any level if I don't understand myself first. Not trauma as we often think of it, perhaps, but the trauma of “jealousy, anger, doubt, and low self-worth.” And the recovery “is not about managing your emotions it is about managing your reactions to your emotions” because “our reactions tell us what our mind has internalized from our past experiences.” And since each and every one of us has different experiences, everything starts with self. There is material on self-awareness, personal relationships, and society at large, but it all comes back to self. ![]() I have never encountered this author or his work before reading this book but was not surprised to learn, after finishing the book, that he began his thoughtful journey during a meditation course focused on the self. ![]() ![]() They’ll be able to further develop why they have their opinions, not just what the right action is in a strange situation.
