Best Selling Books by Emily Hawkins

This is a cased board book with recordable sound chip. The speaker and buttons are visible through every die-cut page. Turn the pages to see the laughing babies and record your own baby''s giggle.

These two concept titles introduce baby to colour and counting in a gentle, fun and engaging way, using die-cuts, foil and textures to arouse baby''s curiosity. Rainbow Fun! uses bright, bold design and tactile die-cut pages to lead baby through the kaleidoscopic world of colour. Five Little Ducks is a wonderfully fresh take on the traditional nursery rhyme, using clever die-cuts to help count down from 5 to 1 as each page is turned.

Meet a feisty bunch of mice who share a taste for daring exploits. When ancient Egypt is struck by famine, the wise pharaoh must dream up a cunning idea to keep his mousy subjects well-fed.

Deep in the Arctic north, an unlikely friendship hatches and grows between a fox cub and a little snow goose.

Employees offered explanations for why they think suicidal people may choose the railway as their method and location of suicide, including environmental factors and access points. They suggested changes which can be implemented by the industry to discourage suicidal behaviours and increase help seeking behaviours. Employees identified that they need more support when managing and preventing railway suicides, including training, awareness and support from colleagues and outside agencies. The results of this study have demonstrated that some railway employees are willing to play a part in the prevention and management of railway suicides and learn how to identify warning signs, gain skills for interacting with people in crisis and make the railway a safer environment for staff and members of the public. To be able to do so effectively, there is need for the industry to devise and implement preventative initiatives which incorporate a collaborative approach with other agencies, in line with current National Suicide Prevention policies and guidance. This will better equip employees with the appropriate skills and resources, through clear interventions, protocols and partnership working, to safely manage people at risk. This should be considered in line with identified socio-environmental factors that contribute to individual''s choice of method of suicide as being the railway.

The development and implementation of effective species and population-specific management strategies requires population-specific information. To demonstrate the relative extirpation risk associated with various road mortality scenarios for a population of Blanding''s turtles at Canadian Nuclear Laboratories in Chalk River, Ontario, a Population Viability Analysis was conducted. Road mortality of two adult females every ten years resulted in population extirpation within 200 years relative to a stable population not experiencing road mortality. To accommodate informed decision-making for the management of this species at risk, the movement patterns and habitat selection of this Blanding''s turtle population were described. There was no significant difference between males and females in distance moved between relocations in either the spring or the summer, but turtles moved greater distances in the spring than in the summer. Annual and seasonal home range size did not differ between the sexes or between spring and summer periods. A compositional analysis indicated Blanding''s turtles preferred marsh habitats over bog, swamp, lake, and upland. Matched-paired logistic regression was used to determine selection of microhabitat features, such as type of vegetation, in the spring and summer. Turtles preferred sites with warmer air temperatures, shallower water, a higher availability of open water, and greater coverage of emergent and floating vegetation types in the spring period. In the summer period, turtles preferred sites characterized by cooler, deeper water, a higher availability of open water, and greater coverage of emergent and floating vegetation types. This population of Blanding''s turtles appears to be relatively small and the continued threat of road mortality indicates a delicate situation for its persistence. Considering seasonally preferred habitats will best inform management decisions for seasonal work restrictions and future development plans.
