Vancouver Island pioneer, Percy Dewar, grandson of the legendary distiller in Scotland, was born in Extension, to a coal-mining family. Like the cougars that have exerted a lifelong fascination over him, he may be part of a dying breed on this island. From a young age, he developed a love of nature in general and of animals in particular. He began to live in the woods and hunt cougar for bounty as a teen, and developed a reputation as one of the ablest hunters on the island, although he claims he had success because he had the best hound dogs. He eventually financed his own 7-year study of cougars, living in the woods with them and tagging them so that he could follow their movements. His study proved that cougars are not territorial among many unusual findings, and disputed previous assumptions now debated by scientific researchers.Biologists have consulted Percy for many years; his knowledge of cougars is based on what he has experienced firsthand rather than on what he calls "useless book learning about cougars." After the bounty ended on Vancouver Island in 1958, largely as a result of Percy's study data, he experienced a change of heart and began to work actively for the conservation of cougars on the island. He began to import Akbash hounds to protect his livestock from predators, and encouraged local farmers to follow suit. As a logger and a guide, he lived all over Vancouver Island, and knows it "like the back of my hand."A true renaissance man, raised on virtues of self-sufficiency, Percy built several log houses nearly single-handedly and lived as a near-recluse for the better part of his life. When he was in his eighties, Percy finally came down off the mountain in Strathcona where he was living in his sprawling log house, complete with goat, chicken and horse barns and a greenhouse. For the first time in his life, Percy has electricity, a refrigerator, and does not need to pump his own water.What finally brought him down off his mountain? He fell in love with the petite but forceful Ilse, an eighty-something woman whom he met through his Elder-hostel tour of Strathcona, and decided it was finally time to give up his bachelor existence. Now living with her on Salt Spring Island, Percy is active in hiking, golfing, and giving talks about cougars. Recently he fought a government proposal to reinstate the bounty on cougars.

Peppy was a maverick Border collie when she first appeared at William Horne's door. Still, it was not long before she stole his heart with her intelligence, feisty attitude, and loyalty. Although her life ended tragically and way too soon, she still holds an important place in his heart to this day.In a narrative that lovingly details all his adopted pets, Horne reveals the unique personalities and characteristics of the dogs and cats who found a place in his family. Cinnamon, who had a gift of seeing colors and doing tricks, was sensitive to those with physical impairments. Lucky, a little mixed breed, loved riding in the car from Florida to a mountain cabin in Tennessee. Sassy, a very curious calico cat, perched atop the sofa to watch the squirrels and rabbits play. Fritz, a rag tag black kitty, proudly captured sparrows in his mouth, only to release them into freedom moments later.Fifty Years of Cats and Dogs is a poignant tribute to one family's adopted pets who brought joy and happiness into their three-ring circus called life.

In the present book the Paleogene fossil record of birds is detailed for the first time on a worldwide scale. I have developed the idea for such a project for several years, and think that it is an appropriate moment to present a summary of our c- rent knowledge of the early evolution of modern birds. Meanwhile not only is there a confusing diversity of fossil taxa, but also significant progress has been made concerning an understanding of the higher-level phylogeny of extant birds. Hypotheses which were not considered even a decade ago are now well supported by independent analyses of different data. In several cases these group together morphologically very different avian groups and allow a better understanding of the mosaic character distribution found in Paleogene fossil birds. The book aims at bringing some of this information together, and many of the following data are based on first-hand examination of fossil specimens.
