conversations.value: Grade 4-6. the author and Mu?oz once again use their talents and expert knowledge, this time to educate young audiences about the changes in the roles of zoos from "curators" of rare species to saviors, breeding animals for release in their native habitats. Spotlighting four pioneer programs: golden lion tamarins of Brazil, red wolves of the American Southeast, lemurs of Madagascar, and American black-footed ferrets, the author points out the high rate of failure they share. The author does an excellent job of showing the difficulties in teaching survival skills to species accustomed to "catered meals" they've received in captivity. the author is also up front with the high cost of such programs; the golden lion tamarin project averages a cost of $22,000 for each surviving monkey. The subjects of the four highlighted projects are highly photogenic. Mu?oz's large, colorful photos bring readers face to face with these rare animals. However, it does seem a bit premature to include the lemur program as scientists have not yet released any in Madagascar. With that quibble noted, this is recommended highly for all libraries. Cristina Kessler's All the King's Animals (Boyds Mills, 1995) focuses on the social difficulties with reeducating human populations when returning endangered species to the wild. Margery Facklam's And Then There Was One (Little, Brown, 1990), with its black-and-white drawings, is an excellent introduction to reasons for extinction, early breeding programs, and changes in legislation to foster conservation.?Marilyn Payne Phillips, University City Public Library, MO<BR>Copyright 1997 Reed Business Information, Inc.

  After the angel of air, seek the angel of water. Put off your shoes and your clothing and suffer the angel of water to embrace all your body. Cast yourselves wholly into his unfolding arms and as often as you move the air with your breath, move with your body the water also. I tell you truly, the angel of water shall cast out of your body all uncleanesses that defiled it without and within. And all unclean and evil-smelling things shall flow out of you, even as the uncleannesses of garments washed in water flow away and are lost in the stream of the river. I tell you truly, holy is the angel of water who cleanses all that is unclean and makes all evil-smelling things of a sweet odor. No man may come before the face of God whom the angel of water lets not pass, in very truth, all must be born again of water and truth, for your body bathes in the river of earthly life, and your spirit bathes in the river of life everlasting. For you receive your blood from our earthly mother and the truth from our heavenly father. [London: RH UK, 2004]
  However toxic and adulterated much of our current food remains, it is necessary to drink, and we are all familiar with the catastrophes that follow on the heels of the removal of woods and hedges and forests (for example the Sahara), for as we saw earlier, the soil creates the climate.
  Chateaubriand wrote: "The forests precede civilizations and deserts follow them." A sad reality! Our egotism has made us incapable of seeing truly. We often hear people say: "After us the flood"—when it is parents speaking, we know they procreated only for their own selfish reasons.
  Trees attract water like a magnet draws iron filings, and a lover, love and fertility. There where love no longer exists, solitude is born; there where there are no more trees, the desert is born.
  Water is a substance that consists of two molecules of hydrogen for every molecule of oxygen, and which is liquid in ordinary temperatures. It is a colorless liquid, one that some say has no flavor! They must be talking about distilled water, for the water from the Jurassic cascades of Auvergne in France does not taste anything like the spring water in Provence.

conversations.value: THE SHOTGUN This is a shoulder weapon with a smooth barrel, drawing mainly shot cartridges; it is used for a short distance on small game—the animal is caught in a real cloud of bullets. Its barrel is generally tipped up—a broken rifle is no longer a danger. There are many models: juxtaposed, superimposed, automatic, one-shot.
  The choke: A barrel is called "choked" when its inner diameter is smaller toward the mouth, which tightens the shot pattern and sends it further.
  The butt: Must be adapted to the morphology of the shooter so that the rifle falls automatically in line with the shoulder. The length of the butt must be the length of the shooter's forearm (index included).
  CARTRIDGES Your choice—get quick ammunition with average pressure of 600 to 900 bars for a shotgun of 1,200. Sufficient speed is 350 m/s.
  BULLETS The bullets are generally made for choked barrels and to implode upon contact with the game. Range: 50 meters.

  Our civilization is not the first to be engulfed in the abyss of oblivion: Shakespeare and Michelangelo certainly join the works of Menander and the abyssal ruins of submerged continents. But if the writings soar, the words remain and the magnetic waves presiding over creativity itself continue to roll around the cosmos eternally.
  The only fact that seems new in the succession of mortal finalities is that man has, for the first time, more than participated in his own disappearance, by breaking the natural balance, assassinating the environment and the biosphere.
  From now on, may our diabolical intellects become divine by using the unique quest of our lost instincts and this universal complicity, which unites every blade of grass with the most distant star.
