This That and Everything

Gather friends and family for this fast-paced game and get the
party started! Teammates take turns describing the six items on
their card—People, Places, or Things—without saying
the names of the items. You only have thirty seconds
per card, though, so talk—and guess—fast! The team
to correctly identify the most items by the end wins!
For four or more players, age 12 and up.

One Wild Bird at a Time: Portraits of Individual Lives
by Bernd Heinrich
#UL6502
Hardcover, 210 pages; 2016
$28.00
Each animal gives us a new view, a new experience, that involves stepping
out of our own world into another, and it is always an adventure.
Pure joy for nature-lovers, Bernd Heinrich’s charming blend of science
and memoir invites us to slow down and enjoy the avian world, one
winged wonder at a time. From a family of flickers who nested in the
wall of Heinrich’s Maine cabin (he promptly cut a hole
inside
his home
so he could more closely observe the process!), to a friendly and very
vocal barred owl, to a phoebe who lost his mate, each bird’s story is
shared with keen insight and obvious affection. A uniquely fascinating
and delightful book for birders!

The Summer Before the War
by Helen Simonson
#UM3672
Paperback, 465 pages; 2017 (2016)
$17.00
Beatrice Nash, reeling from her father’s death but fiercely determined
to make her own way, accepts a teaching position in the small British
coastal town of Rye in 1914. A newcomer to the insular East Sussex
village, Beatrice does her best to steer clear of snobbish rivalries and
gossip-inducing scandals, but her irrepressible intelligence and her
growing affection for the townspeople (in particular a handsome
young surgeon) leave her more entrenched in the town’s social fabric
than she’d like to admit. Alas, the impending war looms, threatening
to upend the small community and put petty grievances into stark
perspective. Sparkling with sharp humor and incisive wit, Helen
Simonson’s captivating novel is an enchanting portrait of an idyllic small town as
well as a sensitive rumination on the manifold devastations of war.
