When a terrible drought struck William Kamkwamba's tiny village in Malawi, his family lost all of the season's crops, leaving them with nothing to eat and nothing to sell. William began to explore science books in his village library, looking for a solution. There, he came up with the idea that would change his family's life forever: he could build a windmill. Made out of scrap metal and old bicycle parts, William's windmill brought electricity to his home and helped his family pump the water they needed to farm the land.

Widge is an orphan with a rare talent for shorthand. His fearsome master has just one demand: steal Shakespeare's play "Hamlet" - or else. Widge has no choice but to follow orders, so he works his way into the heart of the Globe Theatre, where Shakespeare's players perform. As full of twists and turns as a London alleyway, this entertaining novel is rich in period details, colorful characters, villainy, and drama.

Birds, Jim Robbins posits, are our most vital connection to nature. They compel us to look to the skies, both literally and metaphorically, draw us out into nature to seek their beauty, and let us experience vicariously what it is like to be weightless. Birds have helped us in so many of our human endeavors: learning to fly, providing clothing and food, and helping us better understand the human brain and body.

Fascinating and moving
Revisado: 10-30-19
I listened to this book with my teenage children during a couple of brief road trips. Although initially reticent to listen (they fought me tooth and nail), they quickly became engrossed in the fascinating stories. We were all moved and amazed by the various historical and modern accounts of avian intricacies. The novel shares information pertaining to birds, but ultimately, it underscores the importance of the often unnoticed interconnectedness all humans have with the natural world. The Wonder of Birds will capture the attention of the ornitholics of the world, but this book is absolutely written for all. This is a spectacular read that I highly recommend.
