The father of Minnesota ornithology, whose life story opens a window on a lost world of nature and conservation in the state’s early days
Imagine a Minneapolis so small that, on calm days, the roar of St. Anthony Falls could be heard in town, a time when passenger pigeons roosted in neighborhood oak trees. Now picture a dapper professor conducting his ornithology class (the university’s first) by streetcar to Lake Harriet for a morning of bird-watching. The students were mostly young women—in sunhats, sailor tops, and long skirts, with binoculars strung around their necks. The professor was Thomas Sadler Roberts (1858–1946), a doctor for three decades, a bird lover virtually from birth, the father of Minnesota ornithology, and the man who, perhaps more than any other, promoted the study of the state’s natural history. A Love Affair with Birds is the first full biography of this key figure in Minnesota’s past.
Roberts came to Minnesota as a boy and began keeping detailed accounts of Minneapolis’s birds. These journals, which became the basis for his landmark work The Birds of Minnesota, also inform this book, affording a view of the state’s rich avian life in its early days—and of a young man whose passion for birds and practice of medicine in a young Minneapolis eventually dovetailed in his launching of the beloved Bell Museum of Natural History.
Bird enthusiast, doctor, author, curator, educator, conservationist: every chapter in Roberts’s life is also a chapter in the state’s history, and in his story acclaimed author Sue Leaf—an avid bird enthusiast and nature lover herself—captures a true Minnesota character and his time.

THE CONCH CONVERSION - Warren Wild Ph.D., a worshipper of Charles Darwin, designs a conversion for mankind to return to the sea by splicing sea snail DNA with humans. He creates the ability for them to build shelters and breed creatures that appear human, but are albino-like with dark fish eyes. They have webs between toes and fingers. The program is started in the reef off an undiscovered volcanic island. One of the hybrids contained mutant cells, so Wild implants a chip in his brain to carry on. Wild dies before the project is finished and cannot monitor it. This imperfect hybrid creature, Professor Horace Nordick, impregnates a scientific friend's daughter to correct the mutation. Things other than mutations occur to arrest the plan's development.

In our lifetime, we have all had at least one nightmare. We are lucky to waken from it, frightened, but consoled in knowing that it was only a dream. It is then dismissed, and we go about our day. Not so, in the lives of Rachel Quick and Poncho Helios Petros. They have a rare disease which is not narcolepsy or any other known phenomenon that causes a person to drowse or lapse into a sudden state of sleep. They are not called away to dreamland, but to another dimension, where they actually live, when they pass into unconsciousness. They are soul mates who face their intense dilemma with the help of psychiatrist, Dr. Micklos Nichta, and his rekindled love, medium, Zora. The black cloud that changes form has the devil's yellow eyes and threatens them when they emerge into its evil dimension. They are chased endlessly in an abstract world where nothing makes sense. The evil cloud wants something from them, but they don't know what it is. They cannot end this torment of constantly being chased and not having the energy or the will to stay awake. Attempts are made by the cloud to penetrate the barrier that holds their world apart from normalcy. Sunlight is the only thing that prohibits it from succeeding to invade. As time goes by, the doctor travels with them, through hypnosis, and is pursued also by the hideous yellow-eyed cloud mass. A truth is finally discovered by the dark nemesis. It exchanges the young couple for the psychiatrist and his significant other. Rachel and Poncho become free to live normal lives, but the doctor is now eternally haunted and possibly slated for death as his years go by.
