    From the Gulf of St. Lawrence to the Carolinas, hordes of alewives make the dramatic journey every spring. For Hay, the run is filled with danger and beauty. Forty years after John Hay wrote The Run, we still don't know where alewives spend the winter at sea, how they navigate and identify home waters, what changes must occur to adapt them rapidly to saltwater or to fresh. Hay's impassioned, keenly observant prose is, most importantly, open to the great mystery: "Is there any man who knows the length and breadth of anything, let alone a creek?"

    Urged on by Kipp, the badger, the animals of River Bend set off for the mysterious, terrifying, far away Haunted Land to discover the magic of the Long Ago Ones who once ruled the earth.

    About a little girl who was walking down the road and caught every moving thing and kept it as a pet.

    An elephant some thirteen and a half feet tall – his name translated to ‘Taller than trees’ – and weighing in at twelve tons he was a giant even amongst the largest species of mammal ever to have inhabited the earth. In his early days, he had roamed the savannah in Africa as a killer, attacking every man that came his way, but now wiser thoughts prevailed. Inevitably, one day Dhlulamiti met up with Jumbo McGuire, a hard hell-raising Irish hunter who was renowned for the number of ‘kills’ to his credit. As the predators circled with a hope of cashing in on what would seem to be the inevitable outcome and an easy meal, the final epic struggle between elephant and man began.

    Combining useful information on important anatomical features with direction on how to handle the subjects and how to express their forms and postures, the author has produced a complete, inexpensive, at-home course in animal painting and anatomy.All aspects of animal drawing and painting are covered: drawing from life; anatomy in relation to drawing (not surgical anatomy, but a precise knowledge of the visible structure and movements of animals); characteristic movements of animals and suggestions on how to capture them in your picture; composition (design, restraint, rhythm, balance of light and shade, relative scale of animals and landscape, foregrounds); painting and color. 36 illustrations, mostly sketches by the author, depict horses, pigs, cows, dogs, and other animals in various life positions and movements. A long, detailed discussion of the anatomy of animals completes the book. Here Mr. Calderon describes all the structures of animals that are of significance to the artist: the vertebral skeleton, the bones and muscles of the head, the muscles of the vertebral skeleton, the fore-limb and its muscles, the muscles attaching the shoulder blade to the trunk, and the bones and muscles of the hind limb. 208 drawings accompany these discussions and show you how anatomy is related to surface contours and techniques of shading.

De Mille; their relationships with the great Western stars-from the flamboyant Tom Mix to the durable John Wayne; and above all, their touching loyalty, code of honor, and devotion to each other.

    Travellers' tales of creatures they had glimpsed were enlarged and embroidered until it was regarded as fact that giants, dragons, sea-serpents, mermaids and unicorns really did inhabit the unknown parts of the world. David Attenborough, whose searches for rare animals have taken him to many distant lands, looks at some of these stories and legends. Bones of giants are now known to be the remains of monsters that died out millions of years ago, but other giant creatures really did exist until quite recent times. St. George's dragon was thought to be legend, yet the giant lizard of Komodo, found only in the twentieth century, is very similar to story-book dragons. Sea-serpent stories existed for thousands of years, and in this century we have made many surprising discoveries about life in the sea. Is there a Loch Ness Monster? Does the yeti live in the Himalayan mountains? Do other giant creatures still remain to be discovered? FABULOUS ANIMALS is fully illustrated and many of the pictures come from early books of natural history. It is based on the BBC TV children's programme series.
