When college student Alex Drummond takes a summer job as research assistant to eccentric cryptozoologist Thaddeus Bruckner, he's not sure what to expect. He certainly doesn't foresee babysitting the egg of a Titanis walleri, the massive avian predator that once ruled southern Texas. But after Dr. Bruckner's experiments in "wormhole dilation" work a little too well, that's exactly the role he's stuck with. And when the newly-hatched Titanis is abducted, things get even wilder, as its vengeful parents tear through a wormhole to wreak havoc in the Lone Star State. Bruckner and Alex are forced to play monster wranglers in a desperate effort to get the rampaging Terror Birds back to the Pliocene and avert catastrophe!

The fossil record of giant flightless birds extends back to the Late Cretaceous, more than 70 million years ago, but our understanding of these extinct birds is still incomplete. This is partly because the number of specimens available is sometimes limited, but also because widely different approaches have been used to study them, with sometimes contradictory results. This book summarizes the current knowledge of the paleobiology of seven groups of giant flightless birds: Dinornithiformes, Aepyornithiformes, Dromornithidae, Phorusrhacidae, Brontornithidae, Gastornithidae and Gargantuavis. The first chapter presents the global diversity of these birds and reviews the tools and methods used to study their paleobiology. Chapters 2 to 8 are each dedicated to one of the seven groups of extinct birds. Finally, a conclusion offers a global synthesis of the information presented in the book in an attempt to define a common evolutionary model. Focuses on the giant flightless birds that evolved independently in different parts of the world since the Cretaceous period Covers a number of different families with different evolutionary histories, providing a source of interesting comparisons Provides emphasis on the palaeobiology of these birds, including their evolution, adaptations, mode of life, ecology and extinction

The residents of quiet, peaceful communities are suddenly and viciously attacked by wanton acts of terrorism, which are directed not only at innocent men, women, and children but also at the fabric of law and order by the bombing of a police station, an army barracks, and an attempt to bomb the leader of the countrys residence, known as the Peoples House. The terrorist responsible for the acts of terrorism took many lives and intend to take many more for no apparent reason. These terrorists seem to be invisible and vanish after committing the acts, leaving no witnesses to their brutal and callous attacks and no clues left behind. Are some nonhuman entities involved in executing the carnage on human beings? If so, how are they able to do so? Will the culprits be caught? Can these strange birds be responsible? If so, how have they become birds of terror? And who has trained them to commit these acts? Law enforcement have put all on the line to solve these crimes, will they be successful, or will they also fall victim, allowing evil to prevail?

Skyra searches for a way to overcome the crippling fear that has plagued her since witnessing her birthmother's brutal death.

"Hearts Like Birds" is a thoughtful portrait of how Muslims negotiate a Muslim identity in non-Muslim parts of the world. It reflects on their culture, history and lives to answer a timely question of whether there is anything in Islam that lends itself to terrorism. The story is told from the perspective of a Muslim-American who traces his lineage to the first Muslim community outside of Mecca that embraced Islam. In this journey, he is accompanied by his Christian friend who also shares a similar background. Their village of origin becomes the microcosm of the global world where forces of integration and assimilation clash with each other, where families and individuals are forced to negotiate and reconcile life in a multi-cultural society.

Birds are usually loved for their beauty and their song. They symbolize freedom, eternal life, the soul. But there’s a dark side to the avian. Birds of prey sometimes kill other birds (the shrike), destroy other birds’ eggs (blue jays), and even have been known to kill small animals (the kea sometimes eats live lambs). And who isn’t disgusted by birds that eat the dead—vultures awaiting their next meal as the life blood flows from the dying. Is it any wonder that with so many interpretations of the avian, that the contributors herein are eager to be transformed or influenced by them? Included in Black Feathers are those obsessed by birds of one type or another: A grieving widow takes comfort in her majestic winged neighbors, who enable her to cope with a predatory relative. An isolated society of women relies on a bird to tell their fortunes. A chatty parrot makes illegal deals with the dying. A troubled man lives in isolation with only one friend for company—a jackdaw.In each of these fictions, you will encounter the dark resonance between the human and avian. You will see in yourself the savagery of a predator, the shrewd stalking of a hunter, and will wade into this feathered nightmare, braving the horror of death for that which we all seek—the promise of flight.
