Mason couldn't wait to celebrate his birthday with a sleepover at the museum of natural history--his favorite place to visit. Armed with headlamps for the dark hallways, a map, and a list of clues, Mason and his two best friends take off on a scavenger hunt through each hall of the museum. But they aren't just trying to solve the clues. They're scouting for the best place to spend the night. Sleeping next to a T. rex in the Hall of Dinosaurs felt too scary. And sleeping with the monarch butterflies would probably tickle. This decision isn't as easy as Mason thought it would be.... Wherever they end up, the museum at night is the best place for a birthday adventure!

From art-car and golf-cart parades to the Valentine's Day Sex Tour at the San Francisco Zoo; from a festival that moons Amtrak to a town with its own language; from obsessed collectors of Pez, yo-yos, and bananas to kitschy theme motels and a man who built a three-storey mountain out of hay, adobe, and old paint. Eccentric California takes an in-depth look at one very peculiar place.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKStep behind the scenes of one of the world's top ten zoological gardens with Willie Labuschagne in his captivating second memoir, Of Man and Beast. As director during a time of intense political change and unprecedented challenges in South Africa, Willie recounts his wild journey with humour, suspense, and unflinching honesty. From managing the needs of over 9 000 animals during the first-ever massive staff strike, to navigating the intricate politics of acquiring unique species as diplomatic gifts for Nelson Mandela, Willie's stories are as enlightening as they are entertaining. He shares thrilling close encounters with wild animals, and the light-hearted moments that make every day in the zoo an adventure. Willie's experiences extend beyond the zoo's boundaries – from an intimidating passage through Checkpoint Charlie in 1987 to life-threatening situations in the depths of the Congolese jungle. His compelling narrative underscores the pivotal and indispensable role zoos play in conservation and discusses their evolution in 'biological gardens', inviting readers to understand the crucial importance of controlled breeding in conservation and the preservation of endangered species. Of Man and Beast is not just an account of a man's life among animals, but a profound look at the responsibilities we share in safeguarding our planet's diverse inhabitants. Willie asks readers to reflect on the future of wildlife conservation, poised between the extremes of poaching and habitat destruction. This book is a must-read for anyone passionate about wildlife, conservation, and the extraordinary stories of a man who has dedicated his life to understanding and protecting the natural world. Join Willie as he leads us through his incredible journey, exploring the complex relationship between man and beast, and the enduring impact of his work on our global ecosystem. Of Man and Beast is an urgent, beautiful homage to the wild connections that bind us all.
