by Marty CrispSam Harris is on the voyage of a lifetime traveling to New York on the Titanic. The gigantic ship has every luxury Sam could think of, but there's only one thing that Sam really wants--the Irish setter on board, named White Star. But White Star belongs to the owner of the White Star Line, so he'll never be Sam's. One freezing-cold night Sam is jolted out of his sleep by a loud noise. When he sees a huge iceberg from his porthole, he knows something is very, very wrong. The story of the Titanic is one of cowardice and courage, despair and determination, and of an unbreakable bond between a boy and a dog on one terrifying, unforgettable night. A unique story based on what happened to the real dogs that were actually on the Titanic's tragic voyage.

Whitetails: Behavior, Ecology, and Conservation
by Erwin A. BauerRevered by hunters and nonhunters alike, the whitetailed deer is the most abundant and best known deer in the world. Unlike most wildlife that roamed the Americas before European colonization, the whitetail now thrives in greater numbers and over a much wider range than it inhabited when the Pilgrims landed at Plymouth Rock. Like no other book before, "Whitetails" features extensive coverage of the species' extraordinary range in maps and outstanding photographs capturing deer in diverse habitats. Reflecting the Bauers' twenty-five years of intensive study and interest, the text presents the full scope of current information on whitetailed deer in seven parts including evolution, behavior, ecosystem, and related species. One section closely follows a year in the animal's life cycle. Another focuses on perhaps the most fascinating aspect of the whitetail-their antlers. In addition to the Bauers' intensive research, their anecdotes and personal observations are included.
