Join birdsong expert Donald Kroodsma on a ten-week, ten-state bicycle journey as he travels with his son from the Atlantic to the Pacific, lingering & listening to our continent sing as no one has before. On remote country roads, over terrain vast & spectacular, from dawn to dusk & sometimes through the night, you will gain a deep appreciation for the natural symphony of birdsong many of us take for granted. Come along & marvel at how expressive these creatures are as Kroodsma leads you west across nearly five thousand miles--at a leisurely pace that enables a deep listen. Listening to a Continent Sing is also a guided tour through the history of a young nation & the geology of an ancient landscape, & an invitation to set aside the bustle of everyday life to follow one`s dreams. It is a celebration of flowers & trees, rocks & rivers, mountains & prairies, clouds & sky, headwinds & calm, & of local voices & the people you will meet along the way. It is also the story of a father & son deepening their bond as they travel the slow road together from coast to coast. Beautifully illustrated throughout with drawings of birds & scenes & featuring QR codes that link to audio birdsong, this poignant & insightful book takes you on a travel adventure unlike any other--accompanied on every leg of your journey by birdsong. ...

Humans have been making lists for even longer than they`ve been writing letters. They are the shorthand for what really matters to us: our hopes & aspirations; likes & dislikes; rules for living & loving; records of our memories & reminders of the things we want to do before we die. Just as he did with Letters of Note, Shaun Usher has trawled the world`s archives to produce a rich visual anthology that stretches from ancient times to present day. From a to-do list of Leonardo da Vinci`s to Charles Darwin on the pros & cons of marriage or Julia Child`s list of possible titles for what would later become an American cooking bible, Lists of Note is a constantly surprising A-Z of what makes us human. In its pages you`ll find 125 lists with facsimiles or illustrations, including: a shopping list written by two 9th-century Tibetan monks; a handwritten list of the BFG`s favourite words by Roald Dahl; the 19 year-old Isaac Newton`s list of the 57 sins he`d already committed; Galileo`s list of parts needed to build his telescope; Einstein`s punitive list of conditions imposed on his first wife; 29-year-old Marilyn Monroe`s inspirational set of New Year`s resolutions; Martin Luther King`s advice for black people starting to use buses; Johnny Cash`s list of `things to do today`; Michelangelo`s illustrated shopping list; & Advice for `chick rockers` by Chrissie Hynde & many, many more... ...

Liszt, a dominant figure in the Romantic Movement, has been the subject of a number of scholarly studies. However many of the subjects of his intermittent relationship with Britain & with a largely philistine British public, have necessarily been overlooked in earlier depictions of the broad sweep of his life. Dr Allsobrook brings together the story of Liszt`s encounters with the English provinces, Scotland & Ireland during the two tours he made in 1840 & 1841. Using extracts & line drawings from the diaries of John Parry & from Liszt`s letters home, the book provides a rich social context to the dialogue. ...
