In 1961, newly graduated from Yale, Peter Beard settled in Kenya on land ajoining the farm of Karen Blixen (Isak Dinesen). Thus begun a special relationship, not only with the woman who was one of the most chroniclers of life in East Africa, but with the people and animals of the continent. In "The End of the Game" Beard documents the history and future of African wildlife. It is a big story, dramatically told, and illustrated with over three hundred contemporary and historical photographs as well as dozens of paintings by Karen Blixen's house steward, Kamante Gatura.

Paperback. Zustand: Fair. A new town, a new school, a new start. That's what fourteen-year-old Gray Wilton believes as he chants, It's gonna be better, gonna be better here. But it doesn't take long for Gray to realize that nothing's going to change--there are bullies in every school, and he's always their punching bag. Their brutal words, physical abuse, and emotional torture escalate until Gray feels trapped in a world where he has no control, no support systems, and no way out--until the day he enters the halls of Greenford High School with his father's semiautomatic in hand. Award-winning novelist Nancy Garden, author of the groundbreaking novel Annie on My Mind, once again goes out on a limb, this time to show readers the cruelty of bullying and the devastating effects it can have.
