DOWNLOAD EBOOKAn excellent introduction to the varied and remarkable ways animal fathers care for their young. In the vast animal kingdom, mommies are often solely responsible for the birth and upbringing of their young. But daddies can, and do, help in a variety of surprising ways. In this new natural science book for children, award-winning writer Mary Batten offers a fascinating and entertaining look at paternal behavior in the animal world. From birds and amphibians to small mammals and primates, numerous examples of males caring for their young are presented in accurate and clear language. Among the featured fathers are the blue jay, the marmoset and the beaver, who share parenting responsibilities with the mother, as well as several animal daddies (such as the seahorse, the penguin, and Darwin's frog) that perform more extraordinary roles. Finally, the human father is singled out for devoting the most time of all to raising his young until they can survive on their own. Factual information on animal development and behavior is provided throughout the text. Higgins Bond's realistic and detailed illustrations accurately depict the animal families in their natural habitats, and warmly bring to life the animal daddies interacting with their babies.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis volume gathers together twenty articles from among the best scholarly writing on rock music published in academic journals over the past two decades. These diverse essays reflect the wide range of approaches that scholars in various disciplines have applied to the study of rock, from those that address mainly the historical, sociological, cultural and technological factors that gave rise to this music, to those that focus primarily on analysis of the music itself. This collection of articles, some of which are now out of print or otherwise difficult to access, provides an overview of the current state of research in the field of rock music, and includes an introduction which contributes to the ongoing debate over the distinction (or lack thereof) between ?rock? and ?pop?.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKA normal couple goes on dates, gives each other lovely gifts, and thinks about buying a house when they get married. Lucas and Lottie are just about as normal as they can get. He spoils her. He corrects the mistakes that she makes when she improperly disposes of a corpse.

She, on the other hand, is a weakling. What else can he do other than to look out for her? Not that he minds.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK"Stepin Fetchit" ...two words that have entered our language, signifying the ultimate in negative racial stereotype. Between 1927 and 1975, Stepin Fetchit, born Lincoln Perry in 1902, appeared in over 40 films. He was the first Black actor to receive featured credit in a motion picture. He was the first Black actor to sign a long-term contract with a Hollywood studio. He was the first Black actor to drive through the front gates of a Hollywood studio...with a chauffer at the wheel. He was, in Fetchit's own words, "The first Black actor universally acclaimed a star by the public." This at a time when, "No White man had the idea of making a Negro a star." Stepin Fetchit was indeed the first African-American movie star. How, then, did Stepin Fetchit come to represent all that is bad about race in America? And who was the man behind this mask of a name? Here, author Champ Clark reveals the true facts of Fetchit/Perry's controversial life and career. Going beyond archival material, Clark draws from his conversations with the actor's own family, friends and co-stars. In addition, a newly discovered eight-hour interview allows the real Lincoln Perry to finally speak for himself. Shuffling to Ignominy: The Tragedy of Stepin Fetchit is a troubling tale that reflects D.E.B. DuBois' assertion that, "The problem of the Twentieth Century is the problem of the color line." -Sidney Poitier says, "Stepin Fetchit paved the way."-

DOWNLOAD EBOOKMan is a communal animal. He enjoys and often seeks out friendship. He bonds with his fellow-man and woman out of an intrinsic desire for companionship. For most men, having this companionship and friendship in their lives is a natural part of their existence. It helps to give them a sense of purpose and makes them feel more connected to their environment. But what happens when a man's environment becomes one that places no value on friendship? What happens when his environment becomes so harsh that it cherishes no bond? What happens when friends, lovers, and even family are set against one another in a never-ending struggle to survive? What type of animal will man become then? By following Money (the central character in Let it Rain) through the streets of his hood, southern streets which once blossomed with hospitality; we will see how the scourge of drugs and the lure of fast cars, and even faster women, transformed what was an environment of southern hospitality into an environment of southern hell. We will see how Money and his three best friends Boe, Black and Snake deal with the challenges of friendship, loyalty, love, and responsibility. We will watch while the desire to escape their chaotic environment transforms some from youngsters into men , while others are transformed into monsters. What would you do to gain and keep a Colombian drug connection that promised to make you richer than you had ever imagined? Would you betray your friends and loved ones? Ask yourself that question but don't try to answer it until after you have read Let it Rain: It's like Butter Baby.
