Sandhill and Whooping Cranes: Ancient Voices Over America's WetlandsDriving west from Lincoln to Grand Island, Nebraska, Paul A. Johnsgard remarks, is like driving backward in time.

Driving west from Lincoln to Grand Island, Nebraska, Paul A. Johnsgard remarks, is like driving backward in time. "I suspect," he says, "that the migrating cranes of a pre-ice age period some ten million years ago would fully understand every nuance of the crane conversation going on today along the Platte."Johnsgard has spent nearly a half century observing cranes, from a yearly foray to Nebraska's Platte River valley to see the spring migration, to pilgrimages to the birds' wintering grounds in Arizona and nesting territory in Alaska. In this book he draws from his own extensive experience as well as the latest science to offer a richly detailed and deeply felt account of the ecology of sandhill and whooping cranes and the wetlands in which they live.
Incorporating current information on changing migration patterns, population trends, and breeding ranges, Johnsgard explains the life cycle of the crane, as well as the significance of these species to our natural world. He also writes frankly of the uncertain future of these majestic birds, as cranes and their habitats face the effects of climate change and increasing human population pressures. Illustrated with the author's own ink drawings and containing a detailed guide to crane-viewing sites in the United States and Canada, this book is at once an invaluable reference and an eloquent testimony to how much these birds truly mean.

Looking and acting great!
Style: Standard Grip, Size: 50ft, Color: Red Clay
As I unpacked this hose, I was dubious about its likelihood of not kinking. I stretched it out and untwisted the packing condition and waited 24 hours. I was more encouraged when I placed it on the hose rack and careful to keep it untwisted. I've used it a couple of times and so far, I'm impressed. It has not kinked once on a patio with lots of twists and turns and lots of items to get tangled upon. There has been no leaking and good water flow. I was a bit disappointed to see that the connections were composite and not brass but I should have been a more careful reader. We shall see how it holds up in the blistering Arizona sun. I love the muted clay red color on my red brick patio.

Very comfortable
Size: 36" X 24", Color: Grey, Size: 36" X 24", Color: Grey
Very soft and dries fast. I did the scoot test on them to test the grip and they passed with flying colors. Got them on a limited deal and it was worth every penny. I will be purchasing more in different colors as there are plenty of options. I havenβt washed them yet but if thereβs an issue, I will definitely update this review. They are nice and thick and fell good on your feet.

Nice shower mat
Size: 50" X 30", Color: Navy
I have had it for almost a month now and run it through the washer and dryer. Its nice and soft, decent size I did not use a measuring tape to check how precise the sizing is. Absorbs the water when I step out of the shower well and doesn't feel wet or let anything through. Stays in place on the tile floor. Only challenge has been the robot vacuum cleaner gets trapped on it about half the time, but this might just be a testament to its thick nature.

Soft and washes well.
Size: 30" X 20", Color: Grey
These are great rugs and I keep going back and buying more. They are such a good value for money and they wash really easily. They don't slide or shed and they are very durable. They are very soft.So far we have them in both bathrooms and next to our bed.

Great Purchase
Size: 24" X 24" Contour Rug, Color: Beige
I picked these rugs (I purchased 3 of them) because it said its for elongated toilets. I have elongated toilets so I ordered for each room, they are a little large. I thought they would fit the toilet perfectly and not be large where it moves away from the side of the toilet. they are all very soft, like a shag rug, nice and thick and they come in many colors. The only thing I would change is the price of the light grey rug.
