Stories that affirm the indelible bond among humans and animals The relationships among human and non-human animals go back to the beginning of time—and the ways in which these relationships have evolved (and sometimes not) is the inspiration for this collection of contemporary short fiction, penned by writers from across the globe. This diverse collection of stories explores the ways in which we live among—and often in conflict with—our non-human counterparts. These stories feature animals from the familiar (dogs and cats) to the exotic (elands and emus), and in these stories animals are both the rescuers and the rescued. Within these pages are glimpses of the world through the eyes of a zookeeper, a shelter worker, a penguin researcher, and a neighborhood stray, among many others—all highlighting the ways in which animals and humans understand and challenge one another. Among Animals is a dynamic collection of stories from the world’s most gifted contemporary authors—those who pay close attention to the creatures with whom we share our planet, and who inspire us to pay closer attention as well.

In his obituary in 1899, the New York Times called Samual Worthington Dewey "one of the most picturesque characters in American history." For most of his life, Dewey was referred to in public as a sea captain, but his 92 years were much more eclectic. He collected knowledge and was attracted by persons who shared his acquisitive thirst for experience and learning. Based in the true-life experiences of Samuel W. Dewey, Stealing Andrew Jackson's Head is a fictionalized account of those events, as told by Dewey to eleven-year-old Jake Cooper.
When a cosmic storm hits, stranding the Nelsons on their new home planet, Nebulon, Zack's hopes of a white Christmas in Vermont are dashed, but Nebulon provides a surprising alternative.
The Oil and Gas Industry boasts some of the highest income earning jobs of any industry in the world. Of the dozens of job categories in the Oil and Gas Industry, the majority have a higher income earning potential than their counterparts in other industries. Careers which are as diverse as accounting and Chemical engineering are readily available to those who knew where and how to look. Many are just unaware of where to look and how to land these jobs. Until now, the information about the various career opportunities in this industry has never been organized and condensed into such a concise book. If you are thinking about a Career in the Oil and Gas Industry, this is where you should start. In "Careers in the Oil & Gas Industry: A Guidebook of Practical Advice" Alfonso Colombano and Ryan Ray detail the ultra complex Oil and Gas industry. Beginning with a brief summary of the Upstream, Midstream, and Downstream markets, they paint a picture of the industry using a broad brush. After that, the remaining chapters are characterized by high quality synopses of the multiple Career opportunities available in each sector, and the sort of personality preferences that tend to flourish more naturally in each.
