Summer World: A Season of Bounty

The book goes like a true story of parts of nature.

Wood frogs: Their rituals(awake for only few months a year and still thriving) seem weird. The author doesnt just stop at this observation. He goes about setting up little experiments to prove or dispute the possible explanations.

Bald-Faced Hornet Nests: Hornet paper, a Talisman to ward off all evil predators from a vireo's nest.

The Blues: Why ants dont eat blue butterflies?

Mud Daubers and Behavior: Can you imagine being born in an encasement with food provided?

Artful Diners: Rolled leaf caterpillars and dried leaves with still a bit of green at a spot

The sketches and pictures add to the magic.

Bees

The best I have read about bee like organisms is 'Mud daubers and Behavior' essay in 'Summer Word: A season of Bounty' by Bernd Heinrich. This book 'Bees: learn About Your world Series' is easy to relate for kids too with the playful nature of the two bees Brenda and Bella.
When I began reading from the view point of the bees, I wondered how it would pan out, but the author Trinity Jorden has maintained the consistency of bees and their interest - flowers and pollen. we read about animals like dolphins and even bees communicating in the figure eight but how does that communication look like? It does seem to be fun to be bees even if it gets crowded.
The facts of bees in the later part of the book are fun too, with a choice to start reading based on your interest.

Part of Indian life is attending functions. And I thought function. Dictionary came to help with 'any ceremonious public or social gathering or occasion'.

Good Jobs Strategy

Author Zeynep Ton has chosen companies that we deal with atleast bi-weekly. Its almost like being in a class, when she refers to her group of students doing trials at different stores, you can go back to your experiences with that particular retailer. It is insightful comparing the models and strategies of Costco Vs Sams Club. I never noticed that Costco does not have aisle signs but who needs them.. dont you know already where everything is like the back of your hand, after so many visits. Their Less is More. I have been in the neighborhood of a Trader Joes and their magazine is fun to read.
