A Book Sense Notable Title "As Gessner pursues [the ospreys] down the Eastern Seaboard and even into Cuba with a BBC documentary team at his heels, a lively tale of fish-eating raptors, broken embargoes and a nail-biting race to the finish line ensues . . . Gessner finds his Mecca not in the thrilling launch or triumphant end of his own 7,000-mile migration, but in the living done in between."—Jennifer Winger, Nature Conservancy Magazine "An engaging, lyrical guide to osprey migration, Cuba, and a common humanity."—Orion Magazine "Gessner's finest book, unpredictable in the best way, and funny, too; an adventure book and much more—a book of contact by a writer who quickly becomes an audible and visible presence."—Clyde Edgerton, author of Solo "An interesting and complex book . . . In a surprisingly short amount of time, David Gessner has evolved into one of our most accomplished and singular writers about nature. While many authors treat their experiences in nature with a hushed earnestness and a suspect neatness, Gessner writes about the messy humanness of being outside."—Mark Lynch, Bird Observer "An ideal traveling companion and guide. Soaring with Fidel lets you hover for a while in the thermals of fine language, seeing the same old world from a fresh and invigorating altitude."—Ben Steelman, Wilmington (NC) Star-News

The Mouse and The Blue Jay: A modern day spin on the classic Aesop's fables By: A .B. Lane There's a volcano erupting in the forest, but is Blue Jay the only one around who notices? In his efforts to warn the others of the danger, he encounters Mouse, who denies that the eruption even exists at all. Over the course of their argument, others gather, and sides form: those who believe the eruption exists and those who don't. Mirroring the morality tales of Aesop's fables, The Mouse and The Blue Jay explores the idea that sometimes it's okay to admit when you're wrong, especially when what you're denying is such a clear and present danger.
