  In this beautifully illustrated book for children and adults alike, Mr. Arizona Black Rattlesnake tells a series of 'pert near true' stories about his fellow wild creatures who inhabit an Arizona National Forest. 
  With the national forest as a backdrop, one of its important creatures, the Arizona Black Rattlesnake narrates many short stories about the surprising and creative interaction between wild animals who call this place home and humans who are only visitors. This humorous, action-packed, and wonderfully informative, this science and nature book brings adventure to young readers. Captivatingly illustrated by a fisheries biologist, discover what happens when a skunk meets Mom in the shed and when the mountain lion lands on the family car. 
  A full compilation of detailed animal descriptions, taxonomy charts, suggested resources for further exploration, plus questions and projects to expand the learning makes this book valuable for classroom, library, and homeschool. It teaches respect for all life and that all creatures have a place in the tapestry of life. A great stepping-off point for discussion about how we treat the world around us. 
  Find out what happens, from the Rattler's point of view when wild animals encounter humans.

And now he is standing there, in the kitchen of Daniel’s hall of residency, talking to his roommates and nobody even suspects that it isn’t Daniel at all. 
  Suddenly the door opens and the doubleganger leaves the building. Anne and Daniel start following him. But the more they learn about the mysterious stranger, the greater the danger they are in. Can they solve the riddle of the snowman before it is too late?

  The Twilight of the Idols

  Friedrich Nietzsche

  The Twilight of the Idols, Nietzsche says in Ecce Homo: "If anyone should desire to obtain a rapid sketch of how everything before my time was standing on its head, he should begin reading me in this book. That which is called 'Idols' on the title-page is simply the old truth that has been believed in hitherto. In plain English, The Twilight of the Idols means that the old truth is on its last legs."Certain it is that, for a rapid survey of the whole of Nietzsche's doctrine, no book, save perhaps the section entitled "Of Old and New Tables" in Thus Spake Zarathustra, could be of more real value than The Twilight of the Idols. Here Nietzsche is quite at his best. He is ripe for the marvellous feat of the transvaluation of all values. Nowhere is his language – that marvellous weapon which in his hand became at once so supple and so murderous – more forcible and more condensed. Nowhere are his thoughts more profound. But all this does not by any means imply that this book is the easiest of Nietzsche's works. On the contrary, I very much fear that unless the reader is well prepared, not only in Nietzscheism, but also in the habit of grappling with uncommon and elusive problems, a good deal of the contents of this work will tend rather to confuse than to enlighten him in regard to what Nietzsche actually wishes to make clear in these pages.

  An updated version of The Cricket in Times Square, the timeless children's classic featuring a business-savvy mouse, a kind alley cat, and a talented country cricket, featuring a new afterword and revisions by YA author Stacey Lee.Tucker is a streetwise city mouse. He thought he'd seen it all. But he's never met a cricket before, which really isn't surprising, because, along with his friend Harry Cat, Tucker lives in the very heart of New York City—the Times Square subway station.Chester Cricket never intended to leave his Connecticut meadow. He'd be there still if he hadn't followed the entrancing aroma of liverwurst right into someone's picnic basket. Now, like any tourist in the city, he wants to look around. And he could not have found two better guides—and friends—than Tucker and Harry. The trio have many adventures—from taking in the sights and sounds of Broadway to escaping a smoky fire.Chester makes a third friend, too. It is a boy, Mario, who rescues Chester from a dusty corner of the subway station and brings him to live in the safety of his parents' newsstand. He hopes at first to keep Chester as a pet, but Mario soon understands that the cricket is more than that. Because Chester has a hidden talent and no one—not even Chester himself—realizes that the little country cricket may just be able to teach even the toughest New Yorkers a thing or two.A Macmillan Audio production from Farrar, Straus and Giroux Books for Young Readers
