The timing, duration, seasonality, extent and pattern of molt follows certain strategies and this book reviews and describes these strategies for nearly 190 species based on information gathered from a 30-year study of Central Amazonian birds. Most species accounts are illustrated with several color photos focusing on wing and tail feather molt, molt limits, and how to use these patterns to accurately age birds.

To most observers, molt seems an overwhelming subject. But birders use many aspects of molt more than they realize to distinguish juvenile birds from adults, to pick out an individual hummingbird from among dozens visiting a feeder, and much more. For those whose interest goes beyond simply identifying birds, questions such as What triggers molt to start? How fast do feathers grow? and How long do they last? offer a fascinating window into the lives of birds. Put plainly, molt relates in some way to everything a bird does, including where it lives, what it eats, and how far it migrates. Here, for the first time, molt is presented for the nonscientist. Molt is very orderly and built on only four underlying strategies: simple basic, complex basic, simple alternate, and complex alternate. This book clearly lays out these strategies, relates them to aspects of life history, such as habitat and migration, and makes this important subject accessible. 0.80 inches tall x 7.30 inches long x 10.20 inches wide

Memòria xueta Autor: Miquel Segura Les edicions de Bitzoc, 1994, Palma de Mallorca Rústica amb solapes, coberta il·lustrada, conté segell en tinta blava en primera pàgina. En la seva condició de descendent de jueus conversos, Miquel Segura s'ha mostrat des de sempre molt sensible al fet xueta. Fruit d'aquesta inquietud és aquest llibre on l'autor, fent bon ús de la seva provada sensibilitat pel llenguatge saborós i l'anècdota literària, ens presenta una crònica profundament humana i apassionada, viscuda en la pròpia carn des de la infantesa, des del moment de la difícil descoberta del món, quan a l'hora de conformar la seva condició de persona s'adona que no tot és un jardí de roses. Escrita amb brillantor, fermesa i bonhomia, aquesta Memòria xueta és un testimoni ple de dades, noms, actes i persones, que tothom hauria de llegir per a comprendre els atavismes d'una societat que es considera madura.

A l"obra poètica de Maria Àngels Anglada sempre hi ha molt més del que sembla a primera vista, els poemes sempre van molt més enllà. A cada lectura es va expendint. (.). Els poemes d"Anglada són molt concentrats i hem d"anar amb compte si els volem acabar d"entendre. I aquest fenomen de l"altíssima concentració de les idees del text és una altre qüestió que vincula la nostra poeta amb la modernitat literària del segle XX. D. Sam Abrams, al pròleg.

Idioma/Language: Catalán. Aquest excel lent estudi és un intent reeixit de fer conèixer més profundament el fenomen medieval: el dels franciscans que van exercir la seva vocació de viure la pobresa tant a Catalunya com a la resta d'Europa. La contribució d'aquests religiosos a la societat de l'època fou molt important dins de l'evolució d'una Catalunya pròspera, vigorosa en el comerç i dotada d'una vida cultural avançada. L'arribada dels frares coincidí amb el regnat de Jaume I, que obrí un període de gran desenvolupament en tots els camps de la vida a Catalunya. Els frares, molts fills de comerciants, eren el braç espiritual del monarca i,alhora que, a redós del rei, s'instal laven amb fermesa a tot el país, inspiraven la creació de pintures, esglésies gòtiques i altres iniciatives artístiques. Van actuar com a missatgers i ambaixadors. Uns arribaren a ser bisbes i altres van adquirir coneixements en les universitats europees del moment. Però, com a totes les organitzacions, alguns frares van abusar de les recompenses seculars i altres van deixar de complir les seves obligacions dins del convent. Tot i això, els seguidors de sant Francesc van acabar consolidant la seva posició i esdevingueren una part, perfectament integrada, de la vida urbana de Catalunya. *** Nota: Los envíos a España peninsular, Baleares y Canarias se realizan a través de mensajería urgente.

Emil Molt was the founder of the first Waldorf School. He wished for a school for the children of the workers in his Waldorf Astoria Cigarette factory. He turned to his friend and mentor, Rudolf Steiner to ask for help in developing a curriculum for the school. Steiner was thrilled and set to work immediately developing curriculum and finding the best teachers for the new school. Rudolf Steiner told Molt’s niece that he was not surprised that her uncle Emil would be interested in education as his was an enormous personality connected to Charlemagne, hinting that he had been Emil Molt in a previous incarnation. Frans Lutters, longtime Waldorf teacher and anthroposophist, has considered this connection between Emil Molt and Charlemagne over many years and draws the many parallels that underscore this suggestion by Rudolf Steiner. His research illuminates some of the elements behind the founding of this important movement which introduces a new form of education designed to last into the coming millennium.
