Sandhill and Whooping Cranes: Ancient Voices Over America's WetlandsDriving west from Lincoln to Grand Island, Nebraska, Paul A. Johnsgard remarks, is like driving backward in time.

Driving west from Lincoln to Grand Island, Nebraska, Paul A. Johnsgard remarks, is like driving backward in time. "I suspect," he says, "that the migrating cranes of a pre-ice age period some ten million years ago would fully understand every nuance of the crane conversation going on today along the Platte."Johnsgard has spent nearly a half century observing cranes, from a yearly foray to Nebraska's Platte River valley to see the spring migration, to pilgrimages to the birds' wintering grounds in Arizona and nesting territory in Alaska. In this book he draws from his own extensive experience as well as the latest science to offer a richly detailed and deeply felt account of the ecology of sandhill and whooping cranes and the wetlands in which they live.
Incorporating current information on changing migration patterns, population trends, and breeding ranges, Johnsgard explains the life cycle of the crane, as well as the significance of these species to our natural world. He also writes frankly of the uncertain future of these majestic birds, as cranes and their habitats face the effects of climate change and increasing human population pressures. Illustrated with the author's own ink drawings and containing a detailed guide to crane-viewing sites in the United States and Canada, this book is at once an invaluable reference and an eloquent testimony to how much these birds truly mean.

Stylish, Lightweight & Great for School
Color: Chocolate, Size: Standard 15.6 Inch
This BAGSMART quilted laptop backpack is a really smart pick for school. I got this for my daughter in high school and she likes it.
The material feels soft but durable, and the water-resistant finish has come in handy during light rain.
There’s a padded compartment for her school laptop, plus several other pockets for books, cables, and daily essentials.
The padded shoulder straps and breathable back mesh make it comfortable to carry even when it’s loaded.
Pros:
• Good organization with multiple compartments.
• Water-resistant fabric protects gear in damp weather.
• Comfortable to carry thanks to padded straps and mesh back.
• TSA-friendly design with a strap that attaches to rolling luggage.
• Lightweight for a backpack with this much structure — not bulky.
Cons / Things to consider:
• While water-resistant, it’s not fully waterproof — heavy rain could be a risk.
Bottom Line:
If you want a woman-friendly backpack that’s stylish and functional — perfect for daily commuting, school, or short trips — this BAGSMART backpack makes a lot of sense. It’s not the most rugged bag on the market, but for what it is (lightweight, organized, water-resistant), it hits a sweet spot.

Great Bag but needs double zippers
Color: Black, Size: Standard 15.6 Inch
Love the bag, its cute, light weight, has lots of pockets and is travel friendly. My only wish is that the larger compartment had a double zipper so I could open from either side. All my other backpacks have double zippers, didn't realize how much I would miss that.
