Erin Hunter's #1 nationally bestselling Warriors series continues in Warriors: Omen of the Stars!
The first book in this fourth series, Warriors: Omen of the Stars #1: The Fourth Apprentice, brings more adventure, intrigue, and thrilling battles to the epic world of the warrior Clans.
It has been foretold that Jayfeather, Lionblaze, and one other cat will hold the power of the stars in their paws. Now they must wait for a sign from StarClan to tell them which of their Clanmates will complete the prophecy.
The battle between the Dark Forest and the warrior Clans has come. As the cats seek out their allies and enemies, Jayfeather, Lionblaze, and Dovewing wait desperately for the fourth cat who is prophesied to help them lead the Clans to victory—and who may be their only hope for survival.
The story of a six months’ collecting trip made by Gerald Durrell and John Yealland to the great rain forests of the Cameroons in West Africa to bring back alive some of the fascinating animals, birds, and reptiles of the region and to see one of the few parts of Africa that remained as it had been when the continent was first discovered.
. . a book of immense charm. The author handles English prose with the same firmness and discretion that he used to dispense towards the pangolins and lemuroids that fell to his snares and huntsmen in the Cameroons. How seldom it is that books of this kind are written by those who can write! . . . a genuinely amusing writer.” — Time and Tide
“. . . I hail a happy book out of Africa . . . and one amusing in its own right . . . I can think of no more wholesomely escapist experience than travelling for an all-too-brief spell in Mr Durrell’s overloaded ark. No wonder it is a Book Society choice.” — Daily Telegraph
“. . . He has a gift both of enjoyment and of description, and writes vividly and well.” — The Times
A lyrical, engrossing tale, by the author of Watership Down, Richard Adams creates a lyrical and engrossing tale, a remarkable journey into the hearts and minds of two canine heroes, Snitter and Rowf, fugitives from the horrors of an animal research center who escape into the isolation—and terror—of the wilderness.
Follow the trail of the rising sun . . .
For many moons, a tribe of cats has lived peacefully near the top of a mountain. But prey is scarce and seasons are harsh--and their leader fears they will not survive. When a mysterious vision reveals a land filled with food and water, a group of brave young cats sets off in search of a better home.
But great dangers await them. In this unfamiliar world, faced with loners and fierce rogues all vying for territory and power, the traveling cats must find a new way to live side by side--or risk tearing one another apart.
Fans of Gerard Durrell’s beloved classic My Family and Other Animals and other accounts of his lifelong fascination with members of the animal kingdom will rejoice at The Whispering Land. The sequel to A Zoo in My Luggage, this is the story of how Durrell and his wife’s zoo-building efforts at England’s Jersey Zoo led them and a team of helpers on an eight- month safari in Argentina to look for South American specimens. Through windswept Patagonian shores and tropical forests in Argentina, from ocelots to penguins, fur seals to parrots, Durrell captures the landscape and its inhabitants with his signature charm and humor.

Stāsti par dabu. Sākumā bija iecerēta neliela brošūra, kas veltīta vienīgi Britu salām. Tad kāds ierosināja, ka būtu jauki iekļaut arī Eiropu, vēlāk kāds cits daiļrunīgi ierunājās, ka šādā grāmatā nepieciešams aprakstīt Amerikas dabu, tad vēl kāds apgalvoja, ka pilnīgi obligāti jāietver arī Austrālija un Jaunzēlande, Dienvidāfrika un zemes tālāk uz ziemeļiem, dienvidiem, austrumiem un rietumiem.

Stāsti par dabu
Romāns
Tālo Austrumu prozaiķis (dz. 1947.g.) savā romānā stāsta par grūto un bīstamo tīģeru ķērāju darbu Usūrijas taigā. Liela uzmanība šajā darbā veltīta cilvēka attieksmei pret dabu, pret dzīvnieku pasauli. Autors agrāk pats bijis mednieks, tāpēc aprakstītie notikumi ir īpaši ticami.
