Winner of the 2023 Nautilus Book Award in the category of Animals & Nature The surprising, fascinating, and remarkable ways that animals use creativity to thrive in their habitats Most of us view animals through a very narrow lens, seeing only bits and pieces of beings that seem mostly peripheral to our lives. However, whether animals are building a shelter, seducing a mate, or inventing a new game, animals’ creative choices affect their social, cultural, and environmental worlds. The Creative Lives of Animals offers readers intimate glimpses of creativity in the lives of animals, from elephants to alligators to ants. Drawing on a growing body of scientific research, Carol Gigliotti unpacks examples of creativity demonstrated by animals through the lens of the creative process, an important component of creative behavior, and offers new thinking on animal intelligence, emotion, and self-awareness. With examples of the elaborate dams built by beavers or the lavishly decorated bowers of bowerbirds, Gigliotti provides a new perspective on animals as agents in their own lives, as valuable contributors to their world and ours, and as guides in understanding how creativity may contribute to conserving the natural world. Presenting a powerful argument for the importance of recognizing animals as individuals and as creators of a healthy, biodiverse world, this book offers insights into both the established and emerging questions about the creativity of animals.

Bel Air Chronicles

By: Carol Deibel

When Bel Air was chosen as the seat of Harford County in 1782, it was a small commercial hub surrounded by green pastures and farms. With industrialization and the advent of the Ma & Pa Railroad and nearby Aberdeen Proving Ground, the quiet town was transformed into a bustling urban center. Through a series of fascinating vignettes and using firsthand accounts, local author Carol Deibel renders a portrait of a proud community that rallied around its own when hard hit by the Great Depression and one that gave tirelessly on the homefront and abroad during the wars of the twentieth century. From Friday night dances at the armory to the pounding of the turf at the Bel Air Racetrack, join Deibel as she recalls readers to hazy, cicada-filled summers and the glow of the hometown lights.

Paper Tiger

A Visual History of the Thylacine

By: Carol Freeman

Images of animals generate perceptions that have a profound effect on attitudes toward species. Can representations contribute to their extinction? Paper Tiger considers the role of illustrations in the demise of the thylacine or Tasmanian ‘tiger’. It critiques 80 engravings, lithographs, drawings and photographs published between 1808 and 1936, paying attention to the messages they convey, the politics of representation, and the impact on the lives of animals. This approach challenges conventional histories, offers new understandings of human-animal interactions, and presents a chilling story of just how misleading and powerful visual representation can be. It demonstrates how pictures, together with words, can have a vital influence on species’ survival. " ... this book is a remarkable achievement. Freeman writes thoughtfully, carefully and with force, and the book is a very good read."’ (Nigel Rothfels, University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee)

Point of Departure

By: Carol Ohmart Behan

Sometimes on our life's journey, it seems as if we've lost our way. In this contemporary novel, Joanna Quinn's journey mirrors the struggles nearly all of us face at some point in the progress of our own lives. This is how her story begins: "Things just wouldn't add up. She'd been at it a solid hour. Joanna leaned on her elbows over the yellow legal pad and frowned at the last figure she had circled, nearly lost among the uneven columns of numbers, cross outs, cryptic notations and pointing arrows. If she could just get to next week's paycheck" Alone on that bleak March night, Joanna Quinn finds her patched-together life coming undone. Deserted by her husband and isolated from her family, she and her young daughter, Gwen, face an uncertain future financially and emotionally. How could everything have gotten so off track? Where could she turn for answers? With her unscrupulous landlord hinting at sexual favors in lieu of rent, there is no time left to hope solutions will find them. Accepting temporary refuge with her best friend, Kim, she undertakes the hard work of re-balancing her life. It is in part a matter of her coming to trust others who wish to help. But it's not until she rediscovers faith in herself that she finds the place to begin again. READERS' COMMENTS "I finished reading your book today...the story fed me, called me back for more, and completed the experience with a satisfying read. I easily identified with the hard trials of life...I've lived it as I think many women have!" Joy B. ------------------- "Thank you for the gift of your novel...While it is not the type of book I normally read (no explosions, occultism, or space aliens!) I did find it remarkably sensitive and optimistic." Tom M. -------------------- "What a pleasure to read it...I love the title which held for me a double meaning, one to cover the reasons for departure, the other, the timing, the coming together of the weavings of time and space...Your sensitivity, sensibility, perceptiveness of character, motives and relationships were well done and clearly present." Elizabeth B.

Genetic Technologies and Animals

By: Carol Gigliotti

Leonardo’s Choice: Genetic Technologies and Animals is an edited collection of twelve essays and one dialogue focusing on the profound affect the use of animals in biotechnology is having on both humans and other species. Communicating crucial understandings of the integrated nature of the human and non-human world, these essays, unlike the majority of discussions of biotechnology, take seriously the impact of these technologies on animals themselves. This collection’s central questions revolve around the disassociation Western ideas of creative freedom have from the impacts those ideas and practices have on the non-human world. This transdisciplinary collection includes perspectives from the disciplines of philosophy, cultural theory, art and literary theory, history and theory of science, environmental studies, law, landscape architecture, history, and geography. Included authors span three continents and four countries. Included essays contribute significantly to a growing scholarship surrounding “the question of the animal” emanating from philosophical, cultural and activist discourses. Its authors are at the forefront of the growing number of theorists and practitioners across the disciplines concerned with the impact of new technologies on the more-than-human world.

Mallory

A Mysterious Profile

By: Carol O'Connell

The New York Times–bestselling author discusses her crime-solving hacker heroine, “surely one of the genre’s oddest and most interesting creations” (Chicago Tribune). When the NYPD detective and sociopath known simply as Mallory made her series debut, John Sandford called her “one of the most interesting new characters to come along in years.” A homeless wild child who was taken in by a New York City cop and grew up to follow in his footsteps, she possesses a skill set—including a talent for computer hacking—that allows her to track down her prey like no one else. In this insightful essay, author Carol O’Connell shares fascinating insights about her origins, her psychology, and her strikingly different sense of right and wrong. “Mallory is not your usual plucky and generally wholesome mystery solver. Jane Marple would probably cross the street to avoid making eye contact with her.” —The Washington Post Book World “Mallory is a marvelous creation.” —Jonathan Kellerman, New York Times–bestselling author of the Alex Hunter novels
