Book Description

A selection of savvy observations on urban ecology from one of the Midwest's foremost authorities on the subject, Hunting for Frogs on Elston collects the best of naturalist Jerry Sullivan's weekly Field & Street columns, originally published in the Chicago Reader. Engaging, opinionated, inspiring, and occasionally irreverent, Hunting for Frogs on Elston pays tribute to Chicago's natural history while celebrating one of its greatest champions.

Published in association with the Chicago Wilderness coalition, Hunting for Frogs on Elston comprehensively chronicles Chicagoland's unique urban ecology, from its indigenous prairie and oft-delayed seasons to its urban coyotes and passenger pigeons. In witty, informed prose, Sullivan evokes his adventures netting dog-faced butterflies, hunting rattlesnakes, and watching fireflies mate. Inspired by regional flora and fauna, Sullivan ventures throughout the metropolis and its environs in search of sludge worms, gyrfalcons, and wild onions. In reporting his findings to otherwise oblivious urbanites, Sullivan endeavors to make "alienated, atomized, postmodern people feel at home, connected to something beyond ourselves."

In the sprawling Chicagoland region, where an urban ecosystem teeming with remarkable life evolves between skyscrapers and train tracks, no writer chronicled the delicate balance of nature and industry more vividly than Jerry Sullivan. An homage to the urban ecology Sullivan loved so dearly, Hunting for Frogs on Elston is his fitting legacy as well as a lasting gift to the urban naturalist in us all.

4 out of 5 stars Witness to Nature's Ways.......2006-05-24

This is a collection of essays recording Jerry Sullivan's nature observations in and around Chicago. The first couple of articles are rather dry accounts about the need to manage Park District properties. I was put off by these first somewhat preachy, plodding essays, and almost didn't go further. I'm glad I did keep reading though - and you will be richly rewarded if you do too!

The book opens up into a warm, intelligent series of observations of nature's amazing details. You will discover what miracles to look for in a feather, in a fungus, on a flower's stamen. And you will learn some of the history of our observations of the subject along the way.

I happen to live near Elston Avenue in Chicago, so I was attracted by this book's title. However people in other places might pass it by because of the obscure Street reference. I wonder if a better title might not have been provided by one of the most interesting chapters in the book. This is the chapter on the early explorations of our Country's western frontiers, when the government sent out surveyors to plot the land. The government was at the time intent on gaining revenue by selling parcels of land to settlers. As they paced off the land for these purposes, the surveyors made use of what they came to call "witness trees." These were mature, proven trees that were likely to stand for many decades more, available to act as reference points for the measurements, as landmarks. In this book, Mr. Sullivan acts as a WITNESS TREE himself, marking the way to some of nature's most fascinating sights and sounds.

My only criticism of the book is that there aren't enough illustrations. There are a few collaborative line drawings - but I wish there were more. Maybe though, just as well. The absence of easy pictures will spur you to get up off the couch after each essay - and go have a look for yourself.

5 out of 5 stars Chicago Au Natural.......2004-05-15

A Naturalists guide to urban Chicago, the title "Field & Street" is a play on the famous magazine title. It is a wonderful compendium of some of the best articles of the last few years from Chicago's famous free weekly newspaper, The Reader. As a youth growing up in the "inner city" I thought the only animal life to be found here were pidgeons, rats, cockroaches and sparrows. Thanks to Jerry Sullivan I discovered (among other things) that the sound of a distant jackhammer was really a nearby Woodpecker. Most "Windy City" residents thought of the Chicago River as a stagnant sludge pool ready to burst into polluted flames at any moment before Jerry began describing the natural wonders to be found on it's shoreline. His articles encouraged me to enjoy the city jogging paths that bring one close to that beauty. And beyond the unexpected wonder that Sullivan's articles bring, is his tremendous writing skill. Even if you don't care about the mallards, storks and cranes that can easily be found if you know where to look, you'll find what he has to say about them fascinating.

5 out of 5 stars What a Hoot!.......2004-05-05

OK, I will admit that I knew the author, Jerry Sullivan. OK, I will admit that the "hoot" of my title refers to our common love of birds. And, yes, some of my work is mentioned in the book. But, after all those disclaimers, I would say you can't go wrong with this book! Jerry was an amazing writer, bringing the natural world to those already knowledgeable and those with no experience "in the field." He could take the most mundane sighting, such as caterpillars in his vegetable garden, and turn it into a story that made you part of the search. He combined scientific knowledge with the everyday world and always with a chuckle, usually at himself. There is something for everyone in this book that is comprised of 70 of his 1500 word essays that were originally published in the Chicago Reader as its "Field and Streets" column between 1984 and 1998. He takes us through the natural areas restoration movement that began in Chicago in an effort to bring back part of the natural heritage of Illinois. He introduces many to the wildlife such as coyotes that live right in our own back yards- and taught me that coyotes eat insects in the spring! He spent a day with ice fishermen and came away bemused about their devotion. There is nothing pretentious about his writing, just as there was nothing pretentious about the writer. This is a book to tuck into your car so that you can read an essay or two while waiting for the kids to finish soccer practice- and maybe to consider whether soccer is the best use of their after-school time. Whether you have spent your entire life in the Chicagoland region or have never set foot here, you will find yourself pulled into the world that surrounds all of us, if only we'd open our eyes to it.

              This is a AIR FORCE INST OF TECH WRIGHT-PATTERSON AFB OH SCHOOL OF ENGINEERING report procured by the Pentagon and made available for public release. It has been reproduced in the best form available to the Pentagon. It is not spiral-bound, but rather assembled with Velobinding in a soft, white linen cover. The Storming Media report number is A006323. The abstract provided by the Pentagon follows: The Robotics and Automation Center for Excellence (RACE) has defined an open telerobotics control architecture. This architecture, called the Unified Telerobotic Architecture Project (UTAP), is a proposed standard for all Air Force telerobotic systems. Implementation of UTAP will reduce the cost of robotic applications by increasing software modularity, portability, and reusability. This thesis continued the effort to prove the feasibility of UTAP. In December, 1995, 1st Lt Anchor implemented a portion of the UTAP specification on a PUMA robot. The UTAP-compliant controller exhibited some degradation in the system performance. However, the performance degradation was not fully measured. This thesis extended the measurements of Anchor's implementation. Additionally, a portion of the UTAP specification was implemented on an Adept 550 manipulator and the performance effects were measured. The implementation included portions of the generic, robot/axis servo control, tool control, sensor control, programmable 10, subsystem task level control, task description and supervision, parent task program sequencer, task program sequencer, and object knowledge modules. Performance measurements of this implementation indicated that, although performance was adversely affected, the degradation was caused by the interface between the UTAP-compliant application and the non-UTAP-compliant operating system. There was little difference between the complaint and non- compliant applications.

                      1 out of 5 stars Save your Money.......2007-07-12

                      This graphic novel contains the conclusion to the Galactic Storm series, which was originally published by Marvel in the Annual issues of their various on-going series (Capt America, Avengers, Thor, etc...). As a rule of thumb story lines that involve Annual issues from multiple comic series are wretched.

                      This one is no exception. The story telling is choppy, because each Annual covers one hero (or set of heroes). The art is middling to bad, again because its an Annual; Marvel and DC feel its ok to let quality slip. Marvel even managed to get two of the issues in this book out of order.

                      Go ahead, buy it. I dare you.
