Wild Monterey Bay: Up Close and Personal: Stories of Memorable Wildlife Encounters

By: Jodi Frediani,Katlyn Taylor

Wild Monterey Bay is a collection of over 40 first person accounts in response to the question: What is your most memorable wildlife encounter in Monterey Bay? Read stories from people from all walks of life who have incredible stories about the rich wildlife and vast ecosystem that is Monterey Bay. This book is a celebration of the bay and the people who interact with it. About This Book Storytelling is human nature. We started this project in 2016 with the hope that we could capture, through personal stories, the essence of what it’s like for both people and wildlife in Monterey Bay. Scientists have been studying this place for decades and people have written books about life on its shores. Unless you combine the two—the humans and the wildlife—it’s hard to get the full perspective of how amazing this place really is. We interviewed forty people for this project, from many different walks of life. Some were just short-term visitors and others have lived on the shores of Monterey Bay for generations. Their stories involve at least twenty-five different species, from microscopic plankton to the largest animal to have ever lived on earth, the blue whale. We originally captured storytellers’ biographical information by asking them interview questions, so their responses best reflect what was relevant to them at that time. But forty people is a significant number to keep up with over the course of eight years. A number of the stories also reference a specific timeline relevant to when the storytellers were interviewed. To help provide context, the dates of all interviews are listed on the top left of the story photo that begins each story. Wild Monterey Bay is a celebration of wildlife and people. Now we have finally turned these illustrated stories into a book for people to enjoy for years to come, and we hope you will enjoy it. Foreword by Carl Safina Praise for Wild Monterey Bay: "Connecting with wildlife is such an important way to build empathy for the natural world. This is a delightful collection of stories about inspiring encounters with ocean life— everything from bioluminescent plankton to great whales. I hope it encourages everyone to get outdoors and explore for themselves." Julie Packard Executive Director Monterey Bay Aquarium “This is a treasure trove! Gorgeous, compelling photos illustrate pages brimming with stories of close encounters with creatures from white sharks to plankton⏤all told in different voices and from different perspectives. From the teacher watching city kids fall in love with the ocean, to the biologist wrangling seals for tagging, to the photographer documenting an orca teaching her baby to hunt, all of these tales⏤ some funny, some sad, some quirky⏤give you an intimate picture of Wild Monterey Bay you’ll find nowhere else. Whether you already live in this magical place, or are only an armchair visitor, this book will deepen your appreciation of this unique, critical habitat, and inspire you to protect what is surely one of the richest marine ecosystems on Earth.” Sy Montgomery Author of Soul of the Octopus and Secrets of the Octopus “An inspiring exploration of the relationship between one of the world’s most extraordinary marine environments and the people whose lives are deeply touched by it and who work to protect it.” LIZ CUNNINGHAM Author of Ocean Country “Human encounters with wildlife wake us up to the fact that we live in their world, and these stories make that notion so real. This is Monterey Bay at its most raw, alive, and deserving of its rightful protection. Enjoy!” DAN HAIFLEY Retired Executive Director O’Neill Sea Odyssey and Save Our Shores

The Jodi Picoult Collection #3

Vanishing Acts, The Tenth Circle, and Nineteen Minutes

By: Jodi Picoult

Three of bestselling author Jodi Picoult's compelling novels together in this ebook collection! Vanishing Acts Delia Hopkins has led a charmed life. Raised in rural New Hampshire by her widowed father, Andrew, she now has a young daughter, a handsome fiancé, and her own search-and-rescue bloodhound, which she uses to find missing persons. But as Delia plans her wedding, she is plagued by flashbacks of a life she can't recall. And then a policeman knocks on her door, revealing a secret that changes the world as she knows it. The Tenth Circle Fourteen-year-old Trixie Stone is in love for the first time. She's also the light of her father, Daniel's life—a straight-A student; a pretty, popular freshman in high school; a girl who's always seen her father as a hero. That is, until her world is turned upside down with a single act of violence. Suddenly everything Trixie has believed about her family—and herself—seems to be a lie. Could the boyfriend who once made Trixie wild with happiness have been the one to end her childhood forever? She says that he is, and that is all it takes to make Daniel, a seemingly mild-mannered comic book artist with a secret tumultuous past he has hidden even from his family, venture to hell and back to protect his daughter. Nineteen Minutes Sterling is an ordinary New Hampshire town where nothing ever happens—until the day its complacency is shattered by an act of violence. Josie Cormier, the teenage daughter of the judge sitting on the case, should be the state’s best witness, but she can’t remember what happened before her very own eyes—or can she? As the trial progresses, fault lines between the high school and the adult community begin to show— destroying the closest of friendships and families.
