![]() ![]() So what is the main problem in this book? Bob is not completely alone then. ![]() He is actually living with Julia and her dad. S: Oh then Bob is not that alone after all if he sees Julia all the time.Ĭ: No he is not really alone. S: So he is still hanging out with Julia then? This was the girl who gave Ivan the crayons, right? But apparently the zoo keepers don’t care, so he manages to sneak in whenever he wants, with Julia. We see Ivan and Ruby in this book too, because Bob keeps visiting the zoo they are living in, even though probably he is not supposed to. So does this book start there?Ĭaramel: More or less. If I recall correctly, that one ended with gorilla Ivan’s dog friend Bob all alone, because most of the other animal friends went to a new zoo. ![]() Sprinkles: So Caramel, I know you liked The One and Only Ivan.

Why did I not give this book four stars? In many ways it deserved them, well written with undeniably vast information, well formed opinions and certainly well defined opinions. ![]() Having set up the background for invasive vs native plants he then sheds an uncomfortably bright light on some of the human biases about invasive species and uses some case histories to highlight some of the downright ridiculous things humans have done in the name of controlling invasive species. In it, the author draws upon his extensive experience to take us step by step on a description of how and when species have distributed in the world, he then examines the notions of 'natural' and 'artificial' species distribution in light of the very busy historical distribution patterns. The subtitle of this book is 'The story and science of invasive species" which I thought would be right up my alley having studied ecology and having worked briefly in biocontrol.Ī quick google of the author shows that he has extensive credentials in botany and ecology and so it was with high anticipation that I took this book home. ![]() ![]() ![]() These are some of the lessons the book leaves you with ![]() The book details their struggle with change when they discover their cheese had been moved but eventually, Hem successfully deals with it and writes down the invaluable lessons he learned from the experience on the wall.

Written by American physician and author Dr. Change is part and parcel of life which means we are constantly required to shed our skins in order to keep up with our ever evolving circumstances. ![]() This book, is a less than an hour quick read that can effortlessly pass for a kid’s bedtime story, but don’t be fooled, its weight in gold lies in the invaluable message about change that it passes on, lessons that could stay with you for a lifetime and help you navigate through your career and life in general. ![]() ![]() Who threw John DiFool over the Suicide Alley railing and why?

Tacitus draws an unfavorable comparison between the liberty enjoyed by the Britons to the corruption and cruelty of Rome and offers a biting and insightful commentary on the Roman greed that justified the oppression and exploitation of the British people. It is also a geographic and ethnographic history of Ancient Britain. “The Agricola” is a biography of the Roman general Gnaeus Julius Agricola, who was Tacitus’s father-in-law. ![]() Tacitus lived in what historians call the Silver Age of Latin literature and his contributions to the histories of these tumultuous times are considered significant and illuminating. “The Agricola” and “The Germania” are two important historical works by Cornelius Tacitus, an ancient Roman Senator and historian who lived from 56 AD to 120 AD. ![]() ![]() ![]() WILD WEST GUNS FOR S40v5,3 Java Game, download to your mobile for free.
