Paperback. Condición: Good. After raising their son and daughter, Kurt and PL Mondloch decide to circumnavigate the world aboard their sloop, the Osprey. As they prepare for their voyage in San Francisco, they receive a disturbing message. Their son, on a backpacking expedition in India, has gone missing. Kurt flies to the Indian Himalayas to try and find him, sparking a major international investigation and dragging the family into a world they never imagined. Eventually an overseas phone call destroys the couple's fragile cocoon of hope-their son and his girlfriend were swept away by a monsoon-swollen river. Reeling from the death of their son, Kurt and PL must make a choice: either mourn endlessly or move on with life. The couple decides to sail around the world as a balm for their spirits and as a tribute to their late son. Over the course of almost seven years and an incredible journey of 40,000 miles, their phenomenal memories and fresh horizons help extinguish the pain and recharge their lives.…

Hardback. Condición: Very Good. Osprey Adventure describes the heroics of a boy and his biologist father who save a young osprey from certain death. Young Pete is concerned when he spies a trash bag in an osprey nest. He and his dad boat around the bird's channel marker and learn that, not only does the raptor's home contain trash, but one of the fish hawks has become tangled in fishing line and is gravely ill.This story is based on the work of a real hero, Pete McGowan, a U.S. Fish and Wildlife Chesapeake Bay Field Office biologist, who has studied osprey for years. He believes that half or more of all osprey nests on the bay and surrounding rivers contain fishing lines, or similar cordage material. This story describes a big problem among these well-known birds of prey. Happily, ospreys are making a comeback after being nearly eradicated by pesticides in the 1970s, but fishing line and balloon ribbon have become serious threats to the well-being of chicks and adults.

Paperback. Condición: Very Good. A stunning exploration of the mercury pollution in Montana that causes harm to humans and ospreys alike. Engrossing narrative nonfiction with fun webcam photos makes for an engaging addition to the award-winning Scientists in the Field series.  This meticulously researched and photographed account follows three University of Montana scientists and their interdisciplinary work with ospreys: fish-catching birds with gigantic nests and a family that functions with teamwork and cooperation. In Missoula, Montana, the scientists have been following ospreys for six years, collecting data on the amount of contaminants, including mercury, found on their feathers and in their blood. The water in western Montana still suffers effects from mining activities performed more than a hundred years ago, and this pollution is still dangerous. Because the osprey hunts in a very small area, scientists can pinpoint where mercury is coming from and work to keep the ospreys, and the people, safer. Muñoz, William (ilustrador).…
