READ MY LIFE AND TRAVEL EXPERIENCES AND I WILL THROW IN A CAKE

By: Judy Tarvin

All the stories you will read in this book are true. My life and travel experiences are a collection of true short stories—some serious, some seriously spiritual, and some funny—covering over seventy years, fifty of which I have been a daughter to God. What exactly is my life worth? God gave his Son for me. That’s huge. He did the same for you. I write this book for two reasons. The first, of course, is that you will get a glimpse of just how close God can be in your life even if you are not aware of it. God is always there for you as he has been for me. I will never leave thee or forsake thee. (Hebrews 13:5) The second reason is that laughing helps us live better. You will not only get a good laugh, but you will have an opportunity to share a good laugh with someone else Let me explain the “cake” part of this book. I took a cake-decorating course in San Diego, California, after marriage and two children. I loved it, and I began volunteering to do cakes for everyone I could. These stories I call “cake consequences” are hilarious and are thrown in at the end of this book. They are all true regardless of how crazy or laughable they might read.

Read My Life and Travel Experiences and I will Throw in a Kid

By: Judy Tarvin

All the stories you will read in this book are true. My life and travel experiences are a collection of true short stories--mostly funny, some serious, some informational to the location, and some spiritual, covering seventy years. I share personal insights on the road to my relationship with Jesus Christ in hopes that you, too, will not only know of him but will truly know him. One of my favorite verses, among the hundreds in the Bible, which has guided me through many things is from Jeremiah 33:3, and it says, "Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and show thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not." Let me explain the "kid" part of this book. My oldest child was six when I became a believer. Her daddy was lost to the war in Vietnam. Later, a son came along and then two more daughters. There is no way I could have raised these kids without the help of Jesus growing me so I could grow them. The things I learned along the way were paramount in my life and theirs. However, there were many laughs along the way, and many times when I just had to shake my head and go on. If you have raised kids, I am sure you will relate.

Here, Kitty, Kitty; Book One of the Here, Kitty, Kitty Series

By: Judy Tarvin

This book of short stories is for the enjoyment of the child who hears or reads each story. Although these stories, of course, are fictional, the cats named in each story are or have been a real family cat at one time or another. And when the reader reads with enthusiasm, suspense, and laughter, the child will become engaged and will want to hear it over and over again, which instills in the child the good behavior implied in each story. The moral or good behavior in each story suggests a Christian character followed by a scripture that applies to that characteristic, such as being kind, loving others that may be different, not being a bully, and acknowledging and being thankful for the gifts and protection that God has given each of us. This is also an opportunity for the reader to interact more with the child in the teaching of these characteristics, which will ultimately and hopefully become a vital part of their lives as children and adults. At the end of each story, there is a short biography of the real cat and the true facts that are written within the context of the story. Also, at the end of the book are a few pictures of each cat in real life.

Book Two of the Here Kitty, Kitty Series

By: Judy Tarvin

This book of short stories is for the enjoyment of the child who hears or reads each story. Some of the cats named in the stories have been a real family cat at one time or another. Family members' names have been used throughout each story as well. Each story is written to encourage good behavior and identify bad behavior. Hopefully the child will identify these behaviors in their own life and seek to follow the good. The moral in each story, backed up by a scripture, suggests a good Christian characteristic, such as being a friend, following the rules, obeying parents, not bullying, and being thankful. The last pages of the book contain pictures of the family cats by name as well as pictures of the different types of cats mentioned in the book.

Thinking Like a Parrot

Perspectives from the Wild

By: Alan B. Bond,Judy Diamond

From two experts on wild parrot cognition, a close look at the intelligence, social behavior, and conservation of these widely threatened birds. People form enduring emotional bonds with other animal species, such as dogs, cats, and horses. For the most part, these are domesticated animals, with one notable exception: many people form close and supportive relationships with parrots, even though these amusing and curious birds remain thoroughly wild creatures. What enables this unique group of animals to form social bonds with people, and what does this mean for their survival? In Thinking like a Parrot, Alan B. Bond and Judy Diamond look beyond much of the standard work on captive parrots to the mischievous, inquisitive, and astonishingly vocal parrots of the wild. Focusing on the psychology and ecology of wild parrots, Bond and Diamond document their distinctive social behavior, sophisticated cognition, and extraordinary vocal abilities. Also included are short vignettes—field notes on the natural history and behavior of both rare and widely distributed species, from the neotropical crimson-fronted parakeet to New Zealand’s flightless, ground-dwelling kākāpō. This composite approach makes clear that the behavior of captive parrots is grounded in the birds’ wild ecology and evolution, revealing that parrots’ ability to bond with people is an evolutionary accident, a by-product of the intense sociality and flexible behavior that characterize their lives. Despite their adaptability and intelligence, however, nearly all large parrot species are rare, threatened, or endangered. To successfully manage and restore these wild populations, Bond and Diamond argue, we must develop a fuller understanding of their biology and the complex set of ecological and behavioral traits that has led to their vulnerability. Spanning the global distribution of parrot species, Thinking like a Parrot is rich with surprising insights into parrot intelligence, flexibility, and—even in the face of threats—resilience.

Concealing Coloration in Animals

By: Judy Diamond

Color can attract mates, intimidate enemies, and distract predators. But it can also conceal animals from detection. It is an adaptation to the visual features of the environment but also to the perceptual and cognitive capabilities of other organisms. Judy Diamond and Alan Bond reveal factors at work in the evolution of concealing coloration.
