Gold Stars and Purple Hearts
In Vision From the Heart, Gary Haun shares his perspective on facing life's challenges. After losing his eyesight while in the Marine Corps, Gary did not let his limitations control his life. He hopes that by focusing on some of his experiences, others, especially those with limitations, will push themselves in a positive direction. As Gary says, "when we accept the challenges in our lives, we can then attempt to overcome them." This book contains Gary's personal philosophy. He has felt the snow on Mount Kilimanjaro and has been bumped around by Great White sharks. He tells you what it is like-from his perspective. A perspective that is unique. Not because of his blindness, but because of his attitude of never giving up. In Vision From the Heart, Gary shares how he became a professional magician and a master instructor in Japanese swordsmanship. He also shares his heart when he talks about his wife's suicide, with a hope that it can help others. This book is not about living with blindness - it's about living. {Introduction by Dr. Jane Goodall)
Bobcat
Bobcat: Master of Survival tells the story of the most adaptable and resilient wild feline in the world. While half the wild cat species worldwide are in danger, the bobcat is thriving, even expanding its range in North America. Why are bobcats flourishing when so many other wild felines are advancing towards extinction? The book explains how scientists apply the latest in wildlife research technology to probe this diminutive predator's habits and behavior. The reader is invited inside the bobcat's world to see how they hunt, kill prey, raise their young, coexist with humans, and deftly navigate the endless obstacles to survival.The bobcat is both the most studied and the most exploited wild feline in the world. Millions have been killed for the fur trade. They were the focus of major controversy in the 1970s that transformed international conservation of wild felines. The book discusses how economics and politics play a far greater role in bobcat management and conservation than does science. Bobcat is the most comprehensive and up-to-date book on the natural history and management of bobcats to appear in 40 years.
