Lions, Tigers, and Cats
I’ll see you in another life… when we are both cats.
We all know the internet is a beautiful place, and it has been quite good to cats in recent years. We have seen adorable cats get themselves in the strangest predicaments-notably and tastefully showcased by sites such as “icanhascheezburger.com”. “Play him off, keyboard cat” is featured in thousands of different videos. And let’s not forgot the newest meme-The e-dating phenomenon that really, REALLY likes cats.
Though cats are definitely getting some love, let us not forget ferocious lions, noble tigers, and awkwardly large ligers. Indeed, it wasn’t just a clever ruse in Napoleon Dynamite. These creatures get big. We offer a large selection of wild cat books to give you idea of what to encounter in the lively plains of Africa. You’ll be an original cat snob-eventually giving your highfalutin input about the difference between pumas, cougars, leopards, and cheetahs. Though larger, wild cats try to be playful like their smaller domesticated counterparts, they end up getting wrangled and tamed by safari poachers.

Fossils-Putting Together the Pieces of the Past
Aspiring paleontologists are often disappointed when they come to museums with the “fossils” they found in their backyard and are told they are chicken bones that were carelessly discarded at their last Labor Day BBQ. Though fossils are our best way to link to the past, using carbon dating and the most advanced scientific techniques, some well-regarded minds of our time still dismiss their existence. This kind of logic thoroughly upset Richard Attenborough in 1990’s, inspiring him to create an exclusive dinosaur park on a tropical island and neglect his best judgement by inviting Laura Dern, Jeff Goldblum, Sam Neill, and his own grandchildren to visit.
There is a certain beauty to looking at it like “digging up the past”. It is fascinating to ponder the existence of things passed, days gone, pages turned, and eons slipped away in the fold of cosmic motion. The minimum age of a fossil is the arbitrary date of 10,000 years ago, beyond some speculation of Earth’s first happy birthday. Regardless, Beyda and Associates wants you to know more about fossils! Read about them with our great book “Fossils-Tell of Long Ago”.
Dolphins: Majestic Conspirators of the Sea
If the world was going to end due to the intervention of alien life forms, dolphins would know far in advance and proceed to construct a space vessel underwater to deploy to another water-laden planet. Of course, this sounds a lot like “Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Universe” but according to sophisticated sonar deciphering technology, this is a proven fact; along with the fact that dolphins abhor Division II College Football in the Midwest. Though we find dolphins lovable for their gymnastic-related antics and squeaky yet adorable animal call, it’s tough not to always wonder if they’re plotting to take over the world.
Take a dive underwater and attempt to uncover the lair of the dolphin bourgeoisie. By embracing their advanced culture, you too can grasp the telepathic ways that dolphins manipulate their trainers into giving them more fish and let them practice their backflips. Perhaps by indulging in our aquatic selection of books, you can get a better understanding of these brilliant creatures without having to endure The Bends or waft the salty, fishy smells of the ocean.

Put On Those Walking Boots
It’s really starting to move into the middle of Summer-can you feel it? The expression “cook an egg on the sidewalk” is a reality, ice cream trucks are beguiling droves of children, and after the women’s world cup, there’s nothing of athletic importance until next month. Since you should take the opportunity to explore the summer flora and fauna, field and pocket guides are the perfect option. You’ll learn more about insects, spiders, butterflies, and other creatures than you thought possible, if not necessary.
Summer is a period in which Mother Nature begins to unfold, spreading itself over landscapes to cool off from intense heat. In this vulnerable state, we see the splendor of the world, its richness in the foothills, atop mountains, down in the valleys, and through glistening springs. Take advantage of this season with National Audubon Society field and pocket guides, giving you the ability to promptly name animals, minerals, and a discarded, rusted piece of 1980’s electronics that looks a lot like a rare metamorphic rock.
