Sy Montgomery har 9 tidligere arrangementer. (show) All about octopodes! Sy Montgomery sinks her suckers onto our skin. Thursday, June 18th, 2015, 7 p.m. at Gibson's Bookstore Sy Montgomery is always fun to host, and this time she's joining us as she discussing her time studying the octopus! She has two books to share: one, The Soul of an Octopus: A Surprising Exploration into the Wonder of Consciousness, is for adults, and the second, The Octopus Scientists: Scientists in the Field, is for children.
The Soul of an Octopus: A Surprising Exploration into the Wonder of Consciousness: In this astonishing book from the author of the bestselling memoir "The Good Good Pig," Sy Montgomery explores the emotional and physical world of the octopus--a surprisingly complex, intelligent, and spirited creature--and the remarkable connections it makes with humans.
The Octopus Scientists: Scientists in the Field: With three hearts and blue blood, its gelatinous body unconstrained by jointed limbs or gravity, the octopus seems to be an alien, an inhabitant of another world. It's baggy, boneless body sprouts eight arms covered with thousands of suckers--suckers that can taste as well as feel. The octopus also has the powers of a superhero: it can shape-shift, change color, squirt ink, pour itself through the tiniest of openings, or jet away through the sea faster than a swimmer can follow.

One instance is the recent explosion of American books about the idea of place… But the best of them, the deepest, the widest-ranging, the most provocative and eloquent is Howard Mansfield’s In the memory house.”

Sy Montgomery Sy Montgomery læser fra Temple Grandin: How the Girl Who Loved Cows Embraced Autism and Changed the World.(This is a new date for this event, which had to be postponed from May 12.)

This compelling biography--by Sy Montgomery, one of our favorite nature writers and N.H. authors--features Temple’s personal photos and reminiscences. It takes us inside her extraordinary mind and opens the door to a broader understanding of autism. Join us! (GibsonsB)… (mere)

Sy Montgomery Sy Montgomery læser fra Birdology.We couldn't fit the entire subtitle above, so here it is: Lessons Learned from a Pack of Hens, a Peck of Pigeons, Cantankerous Crows, Fierce Falcons, Hip Hop Parrots, Baby Hummingbirds, and One Murderously Big Cassowary. Sy Montgomery is one of our favorite writers, both for her formidable prose style and for the unpredictability of her adventures. She's as likely to be describing how she was stalked by man-eating tigers in India (Spell of the Tiger) as she is to be telling homespun porcine tales from the safety of her home in Hancock, New Hampshire (The Good Good Pig). Now Sy turns her attention to our feathered friends, and you can expect keen observation, marvelous stories, and more than a few unexpected twists and turns. "Sy Montgomery does for birds what Jane Goodall did for apes. With an infectious sense of adventure, and a sense of awe and mystery, her stories change the way we look at even the most 'common' birds and instill in us a deep sense of gratitude that we are privileged to share this planet with such delightful creatures. Birdology is bound to become a classic."-- Stacey O'Brien, author of Wesley the Owl "One of America's pre-eminent writers on animals, the immensely talented Sy Montgomery leads us on a compelling journey of exploration into the very depths of what makes a bird a bird. With wit, compassion, and a cornucopia of fascinating facts, she delves into the lives and sensibilities of seven types of birds, tracing our relationship to them throughout evolution and human history. From hawks to hummingbirds and crows to cassowaries, Sy highlights bird language, individuality, homing and hunting abilities, and relationship to dinosaurs in a manner that not only reveals her deep love for birds, but also her inner quest to understand all living things. With this book, birders, animal-lovers, or anyone with a with a mild curiosity about birds, will gain a new-found respect and appreciation for the essence of these avian marvels." -- Don and Lillian Stokes, authors of Stokes Field Guide to Birds (bookconscious)… (mere)
