Scientists call him Moonbird because, in the course of his astoundingly long lifetime, this robin-sized shorebird has flown the distance to the moon -- and halfway back! Each February he joins a flock that lifts off from Tierra del Fuego, headed for breeding grounds in the Canadian Arctic, nine thousand miles away. Late in the summer, he begins the return journey. B95 can fly for days, but eventually he must descend to refuel and rest. However, recent changes at stopover sites along his migratory circuit -- changes caused mostly by human activity -- have reduced the food available and made it harder for the birds to reach. During B95's lifetime, the worldwide rufa population has collapsed by nearly 80 percent. Still, the Moonbird wings on; he is now nearly twenty years old. Shaking their heads, scientists ask themselves: How can this one bird make it year after year when som many others fall? National Book Award-winning author Phillip Hoose shows the obstacles rufa red knots face, introduces a worldwide team of scientists and conservationists trying to save them, and offers insights about what we can do to help shorebirds before it's too late.]]></description><link>https://ottawa.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S26C715497</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://ottawa.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S26C715497</guid><category><![CDATA[BOOK_CD]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Hoose, Phillip M.]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 31 Jan 2012 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://ottawa.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/715497026</comments><format>BOOK_CD</format><subtitle>A Year on the Wind With the Great Survivor B95</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781469282053/MC.GIF&amp;client=ottap&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=C</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Moonbird]]></title><link>https://ottawa.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S26C669372</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://ottawa.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S26C669372</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Hoose, Phillip M.]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 31 Jan 2012 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://ottawa.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/669372026</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>A Year on the Wind With the Great Survivor B95</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780374304683/MC.GIF&amp;client=ottap&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=C</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Claudette Colvin]]></title><description><![CDATA[On March 2, 1955, a slim, bespectacled teenager refused to give up her seat to a white woman on a segregated bus in Montgomery, Alabama. Shouting "It's my constitutional right!" as police dragged her off to jail, Claudette Colvin decided she'd had enough of the Jim Crow segregation laws that had angered and puzzled her since she was a young child. But instead of being celebrated, as Rosa Parks would be when she took the same stand nine months later, Claudette found herself shunned by many of her classmates and dismissed as an unfit role model by the black leaders of Montgomery. Undaunted, she put her life in danger a year later when she dared to challenge segregation yet again -- as one of four plaintiffs in the landmark busing case Browder v. Gayle. Based on extensive interviews with Claudette Colvin and many others, Phillip Hoose presents the first in-depth account of a major, yet little-known, civil rights figure whose story provides a fresh perspective on the Montgomery bus protest of 1955-1956. Historic figures like Martin Luther King, Jr., and Rosa Parks play important roles, but center stage belongs to the brave, bookish girl whose two acts of courage were to affect the course of American history.]]></description><link>https://ottawa.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S26C142926</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://ottawa.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S26C142926</guid><category><![CDATA[BOOK_CD]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Hoose, Phillip M.]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sat, 31 Jan 2009 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://ottawa.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/142926026</comments><format>BOOK_CD</format><subtitle>Twice Toward Justice</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781441802361/MC.GIF&amp;client=ottap&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=C</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Claudette Colvin]]></title><description><![CDATA[Presents the life of the Alabama teenager who played an integral but little-known role in the Montgomery bus strike of 1955-1956, once by refusing to give up a bus seat, and again, by becoming a plaintiff in the landmark civil rights case against the buscompany.]]></description><link>https://ottawa.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S26C183025</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://ottawa.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S26C183025</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Hoose, Phillip M.]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sat, 31 Jan 2009 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://ottawa.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/183025026</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>Twice Toward Justice</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780374313227/MC.GIF&amp;client=ottap&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=BK0007923263</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Attucks!]]></title><description><![CDATA[By winning the state high school basketball championship in 1955, ten black teens from an Indianapolis school meant to be the centerpiece of racially segregated education in Indiana shattered the myth of their inferiority. Their brilliant coach had fashioned an unbeatable team from a group of boys born in the South and raised in poverty. Anchored by the astonishing Oscar Robertson, a future college and NBA star, the Crispus Attucks Tigers went down in history as the first state champions from Indianapolis, and the first all-black team in U.S. history to win a racially open championship tournament - an integration they had forced with their on-court prowess.]]></description><link>https://ottawa.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S26C1148307</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://ottawa.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S26C1148307</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Hoose, Phillip M.]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Wed, 31 Jan 2018 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://ottawa.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1148307026</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>Oscar Robertson and the Basketball Team That Awakened A City</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780374306120/MC.GIF&amp;client=ottap&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=L</image_url></item></channel></rss>
