This book tackles the subject of death as a universal phenomenon with information about rituals of burial and mourning in different societies and historical periods. Wilcox also covers the biological aspects of death and personal issues of grief, all in a sensitive manner. Colorful photos, archival illustrations, and diagrams are inviting and provide balance to the heavy topic. Reading list, websites. Glos., ind.

Orca Footprints series.
Beginning with bee characteristics and habits, this book goes on to explain what beekeepers do and what is threatening both honey and wild bees, such as habitat loss, use of neonicotinoid pesticides and herbicides, and parasites and diseases. Plenty of "Bee Fact" sidebars and photos of bees, their keepers, and kids will maintain interest. Reading list, websites. Glos., ind.
