"Nature never stops being amazing," says Romary Mosco, master of humorous nature art. Her new book, Birding Is MyFavorite Video Game, combines fascinating
facts with charming pictures, and it's guaranteed to make you laugh. In fact, the learning and laughing are both equally important to Romary.
"There's so much to love about birds," notes Romary. "I admire that they're real-life, modern dinosaurs! As an artist, I'm captivated by their color variations. Once you get into birds, the interest snowballs. You can find them almost everywhere. You start to notice subtle behaviors and wing patterns. You're never bored again. Teaching a kid to watch birds is a huge gift."
Birds make regular appearances in Romary's nature art comics(连环漫画). She created charts(图表)explaining the songs and calls of common eastern and western birds. One of her most popular pieces is a flow chart helping you to decide whether or not to help a baby bird fallen from a nest. And her own personal favorite cartoon is about tiny owls, meant to be both motivational and mildly disturbing. Romary explains: "One reader asked me if we had any evidence that the owls can kill and eat a moo(驼鹿). My respon was, not yet…"
Romary loves other animals, and is especially proud of a poster she drew showing every snake in
the US and Canada. She also has a real soft spot for butterflies. "Their behaviors can be surprisingly complex," she points out. "They defend habitats with dogfights. They have complex relationships with poisonous plants. Some of them cat waste and drink tears. Oh, and it helps that they po nicely for photos."
Mostly lf-taught, Romary has taken a few art cours, even studying video game art for a bit. During her career, she's created many educational charts, and has been working on some children's science books. She also has an upcoming comics novel about the solar system.

Sign language, the primary form of communication of the deaf community, has been in u for hundreds of years. You're probably most familiar with American Sign Language, but sign language is ud all over the world and has nearly 150 variations. Sign language interpreters can be en everywhere from classrooms and graduation ceremonies to major sporting events.
When you think of sign language, you most likely imagine signers using their hands to form words and letters. However, hands arc only one of the many different body language techniques that signers u to get their meaning across. In fact, much of the grammatical structure of sign language is not indicated by the signer's hands.
While the hands are responsible for forming the words themlves, markers called "non-manual elements" control much of the languages' grammatical structure. Non-manual elements (or markers) arc body language techniques that don't u the hands. The include head movements, body positioning and facial expressions. Ud together with the signs. the elements give sign language a subtle(微妙的)and extremely complicated grammatical structure. Linguist Andrea Lackner from Alpcn-Adria University in Austria did a study that shows just how
important the non-manual elements arc to sign language urs.
The study assd just how many different things non-manual elements can do. For this study, all participants were deaf urs of Austrian Sign Language. They watched a video of someone using sign language, and they had to describe the purpo of each non-manual element. The results were very complicated. For instance, things as subtle as the direction of the signer's gaze can indicate whether or not a statement is hypothetical(假设的). A single head movement can indicate the emotion of a statement, a conditional or if situation, or a signer's feelings toward a hypothetical question. Body language is always important, but in sign language, it can change the entire meaning of a ntence!
