“Birdpedia” is an engaging illustrated compendium of bird facts and birding lore.
Featuring nearly 200 entries—on topics ranging from plumage and migration to birds in art, literature, and folklore—this enticing collection is brimming with wisdom and wit about all things avian.
Christopher Leahy sheds light on “hawk-watching,” “twitching,” and other rituals from the sometimes mystifying world of birding that entail a good deal more than their names imply.
Authors: Katie Benner, Erica L. Green
“Miracle Children” tells the story of a small private school in the US state of Louisiana that found itself at the center of a college admissions scandal after providing fake transcripts and fictional personal essays.
The book expends some jaw-dropping reporting from the two authors about the school, TM Landry, that seemed to get amazing results for their pupils. It presents a nice balance between historical perspective and investigative journalism. It is a well-researched, factual presentation of racism in education, both in the past and present day.
This book is an extraordinary look at the American higher educational system, and the lengths in which people will go to get there.
Through their journalistic investigation, Katie Benner and Erica L. Green put focus on the couple that ran the prep school along with some of the students that attended it.
