>>4882515It's actually breathtaking and inspiring
>>4882683Give me some highlights.
>>4882698The best you can do is consulting /t/Other than that Google will tell you how a chad falls in love with a young female giraffe.
The pinnacle of paleoart
>>4882515I picked this up from a zoo over the summer. 40 quid (bongland), very big book absolutely filled with info on shitloads of species. Great photography throughout. Very glad to have it, hopefully my future kids will take to looking at it too.
I mean, obviously.
James Tate! He is always writing poems about animals. Here is one that always makes me sad.
>>4882991And here is one that always makes me smile.
>>4882989Any Richard Adams really
>>4883174>>4882989I did not realize the same psycho wrote both of these books. Was there any moral to Plague Dogs that I missed or was it made just to make you sad?
>>4883196Good pick! I raise you this:
>>4882515Tarka!!
>>4882515BEAR
>>4883936Fucking Canadians.
>>4883936I forgot about this book. Have been meaning to read it for ages.
>>4882515I'm enjoying this so far
>>4884030Looks good! What's the pitch?
>>4882515one of the GOATs
Very wholesome
>>4882515Very interesting read, especially if you're also big on high adventure stories.Audio copy I'm listening to:https://audiobookbay.lu/abss/thej-voyage-of-the-beagle-charles-darwin/
>>4883936Day of the Rake can't come soon enough
Picked this up from a library giving away old books years ago. It's nice
have wanted a copy of this for a while
>>4884087General nonfiction book about animals/nature being nuisances -- elephant attacks, bears breaking in to houses, trees falling on you, etc. Nice witty prose and interesting subject material
>>4882515Flower Confidential by Amy Stewart"The Good, the Bad, and the Beautiful in the Business of Flowers"- a non-fiction book on the floral industry; green houses in North American going organic, roses grown in Ecuador, flying in flowers to the flower markethttps://www.goodreads.com/book/show/62081.Flower_Confidential-- The something new I learned that's useful for me as an indoor gardener now is that some flowers need a period of around 8 hours of darkness to bloom, it can't be constant light.
I love these Trimate books
>>4882515the entire warriors series up until dawn of the clans desu ... the super editions r pretty good too
>>4886344holy shit i completely forgot about them
I can't do memoirs with animal facts anymore when my main interest lies in learning about animals.
>>4886344When was dawn of the clans? For me it went downhill with the power of three books and making starclan a religion instead of just a place their ancestors are said to be. Also all the Romeo and Juliet subplots got out of hand
I was thinking of getting this art book. Should get it?
>Tranimal books: warriors, animorphs, hazbin hotel original screenplay>chadnimal books: WILDLIFE FUCKING FACT FILE, THE DINOSAUR HERESIES, MRS FRISBY (MY WIFE) AND THE RATS OF NIMH, MOTHERFUCKING PLAGUE DOGS
>>4888001yeah that looks rad
>>4888002animorphs books are based, unfortunately the themes resulted in a massive obnoxious tranny following
>>4887999I honestly struggled through the second series, and by the first book of the third series I was just done. For me it became extremely easy to predict, I kinda felt like they were just pushing along solely to sell more books and caring less and less about the story. The second series also moved at a snail's pace most of the time, probably killed my will to give the third series more of a chance.>>4888001yes
>>4888002>>Tranimal books: warriorsthey hate to see clan cats living their lives ... baka>>4887999dawn of the clans is after omen of the stars, so just 2 arcs away frum power of three ... i agree with your sentiment, but oh my gosh it gets soooo much worse after dawn of the clans haha .. the drop in quality after the new prophecy is NOTHING compared to the drop in the newer books ... its a real shame
>>4888617to add, they still make pretty good super editions, and the recent graphic novel adaptation was great ... when it comes to the actual main series tho ? steer clear
>>4885388peak monkey moms
He does an autism about etymology at the start but it's a good book.
>>4888659This looks great. I really want to find a good illustrated guide to jewel beetles or beetles in general but I just can't find one. You seem like someone that might know.
>>4889242He has books like picrel. I've NOT read it so can't review it, but I have the vinegaroon and cockroach book. Both are good and well illustrated (picrel has colour photos inside-I checked). My criticism is that he'll often publish a few niche books then repackage them into a more general book, so it can be better to just buy the latest/biggest volume.For example, he has one about Jewel scarabs, but I suspect a lot of the contents will be found in picrel, as it's newer by six years. So, knowing nothing else, I'd recommend that.
>>4889267This has been incredibly helpful, thanks anon!
Any non fiction recommendations for Halloween read?
“But the reader inquires, What is the nature of these creatures thus left stranded a thousand miles from either ocean? How came they in the limestones of Kansas, and were they denizens of land or sea?” E. D. Cope, On the Geology and Paleontology of the Cretaceous Strata of Kansas (1872:319)I was born near the flint hills
>>4889740>I was born near the flint hillsAny anecdotes about this?
>>4882516Shit animal, I kill them every day.I must have broken thousands of eggs.
>>4889720>non-fiction>HalloweenProbably the wiki page for Ophiocordyceps unilateralis or maybe parasitoid wasps
>>4890079Not even gonna eat the squabs?
>>4889720defs Plague Dogs. Otherwise there is this book on blood-eaters that I am trying to refind atm
>>4891409wtf! This is amazing! Are they any good?
>>4891409Soul
>>4882515Surprised this hasn't been posted yet.
>>4890646Bugger off with the wikipedia recs. I already have book on wasps and paranoid wasps don't really scream Halloween to me >>4891405Plagues Dogs isn't scary or Halloweenie, it more tragic story. I am interested in that blood eater books if it's about animals that suck blood.
>>4891505Here's a review of Crabs: The human sacrifice from GoodReads:>This book defies description. On the surface it's a pulpy creature-feature horror romp, but it's so much more than that. It has all the torrid sex scenes, grisly crustacean gore and farcical characterisation you'd expect from the cover, sure. But the fact that the menace is GIANT CRABS (who all have cancer!) never gets old. The author's politics are pretty clear-cut, too: the book's bad guys aren't just eco-terrorists. They're led by an eco-terrorist cult leader who's also a deadly kung fu master with a samurai sword and an evil gross passion for evil gross BDSM! And the book's...hero? is a rich 32-year-old bachelor with a penchant for teenage girls and a lust for bloody justice.
>>4891630GREAT PICK!
>>4890079makes easy pie
>>4891851The crab dies, doesn't he?
fuck books
It's a crime nobody brought up this gem.
>>4892455Or this for that matter
>>4888617>omen of the starsThat's where I officially dropped the series. The whole reveal of "oh actually cats in starclan can die too just like living cats!" Just to add tension was retarded, also iirc [spoiler]firestar[/spoiler] just abruptly dies from having a tree fall on him which was extra retarded
>>4892646I forgot how much I resented this
New, non-fiction so maybe not /lit/, but quality and every page isn't "muh climate change"
>>4891642
>>4892455Honestly have never heard of it, and I usually at least hear of the somewhat older dog related books.
>>4882989>Watership Down>it's not about a ship sinking
>>4882600i was using this one but ill check yours out
My favorite book from my dad.
>>4892895>non-fiction so maybe not /lit/,Non-fiction still counts and is in fact encouraged. This looks great btw
>>4893101That bug is so cute!
bump
>>4893046>is also not a cute book about bunnieseveryone got duped
It's a long shot but here goes nothing;I'm looking for the title of an older book (at least pre 2000's) that was about a wolfhound, almost positive it was an Irish Wolfhound, that gets abandoned as a puppy in (I think) North Dakota because it grew too big. A family takes the dog in, and it ends up saving someone from a wolf.Some of the details may be off because I can not find the fucking title anywhere.>>4893767>bumps without a bookThere's a million books with animals in them, and you're telling me you couldn't think of a single one?
>>4894613>bumps without a bookMy bad
Childhood favorite.
This one was good too, one of my teachers in elementary school had a few books by this guy, and I went through them in a couple of months
>>4892455Holy moly there's a book I haven't seen since 4th grade, this just brainblasted memories back
>>4894688is this furry shit?
>>4889720The leopard of rudraprayagNine man eaters and one rogueMan eaters of kumaonThe temple tiger and more man eaters of kumaonNo more the tuskerDeath in the long grassDeath in the silent placesDeath in a lonely land
>>4891633Very based
>>4882515Can you find me a snakes children book? I lost it long ago in 1998
>>4895836could you find an image smaller that that
>>4892646yea they really ruined starclan desui love ivypool, shes like my favorite character, but wow the dark forest stuff is so stupid and unnecessary
>>4892646The whole impostor thing... I already hated bramble since he was a cunt to my queen Squilf, why should I fuckin care if he's possessed?
>>4896604fuck bramble hes such an asshole ashfur was perfect for squirrelflight and i stillll believe that like ashfur wuz totally justified in freaking out on her LOL
Lotsa animal poems
I can't believe this book hasn't been mentioned before. It looks like a kid's book, but it has some really fucking grim tones. It is believed to have really pushed the general public to give a fuck about animals. Not in like the vegan animal rights way, but in the 'not beating them to death' way.
>>4892455>>4894787Absolutely second these two. And will add this duo.
>>4896977oh jesus this is a deep cut. They don't write them like they used to.
>>4896911I found out about this guy feom lady in the dunes. Which I guess sort of counts as well.
this book was published in 1969, do you feel old yet
Did anyone else collect animal encyclopedias? I have one of dog, cat, and horse breeds, I remember getting them in elementary school
The Last Dog on Earth is some good anger fuel
Siamese Summer, more so for the artwork. >>4891409Why are there so many fucking crab books
>>4899950Yeah I have the cat one of those
the top one is still the best natural history book i've ever read and hope to own a copy but a single one isn't cheap... im also a newt autist so im biased
>>4902127>Why are there so many fucking crab booksEven books can't escape carcinisation
>>4905017Animal horror is something else.
I've been reading The Incredible Journey, I'm enjoying it so far.
>>4882814>feathersReeeeeeeeeee
>>4906915I cant believe it took over 100 posts to get this
>>4898901I wouldn't be born for another 27 years so no
>>4907412If anything, there are not enough of them.
>>4908475it's not that good
