Book excerpt: “Callings will inspire readers at every stage of their careers to view work with a new appreciation for the possibilities it holds beyond the mundane.” —Booklist Stories of passion, courage, and commitment, following individuals as they pursue the work they were born to do, from StoryCorps founder Dave Isay In Callings, StoryCorps founder Dave Isay presents unforgettable stories from people doing what they love. Some found their paths at a very young age, others later in life; some overcame great odds or upturned their lives in order to pursue what matters to them. Many of their stories have never been broadcast or published by StoryCorps until now. We meet a man from the barrios of Texas whose harrowing experiences in a family of migrant farmers inspired him to become a public defender. We meet a longtime waitress who takes pride in making regulars and newcomers alike feel at home in her Nashville diner. We meet a young man on the South Side of Chicago who became a teacher in order to help at-risk teenagers like the ones who killed his father get on the right track. We meet a woman from Little Rock who helps former inmates gain the skills and confidence they need to rejoin the workforce. Together they demonstrate how work can be about much more than just making a living, that chasing dreams and finding inspiration in unexpected places can transform a vocation into a calling. Their shared sense of passion, honor, and commitment brings deeper meaning and satisfaction to every aspect of their lives. An essential contribution to the beloved StoryCorps collection, Callings is an inspiring tribute to rewarding work and the American pursuit of happiness.
Book Synopsis The Hidden Life of Dogs by : Elizabeth Marshall Thomas
Download or read book The Hidden Life of Dogs written by Elizabeth Marshall Thomas and published by HMH. This book was released on 2010-09-10 with total page 195 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “A fascinating glimpse into the canine world, possibly deeper and more accurate than any we have had until now” (The New York Times Book Review). Long before the Dog Whisperer, anthropologist Elizabeth Marshall Thomas revealed to readers the nature of pack dynamics, leading to a completely new understanding of dogs, their personalities, and their desires. Based on thirty years of living with and observing dogs, The Hidden Life of Dogs asks one question: What do dogs want? To find out, we must meet the pack. First there is Misha, a husky Thomas followed on her daily rounds of more than 130 square miles. Then there is Maria, who adored Misha, bore his puppies, and clearly mourned when he moved away; the brave pug Bingo and his little wife, Violet; the dingo Viva; and other colorful characters. In observing them, Thomas learned that what dogs want most of all is other dogs. Informative and captivating, The Hidden Life of Dogs will give every canine owner and canine lover great insight into dog behavior. “A wonderful book . . . Too bad dogs can’t read. They’d be fascinated. Dog people will be too.” —USA Today
Book Synopsis The Light in High Places by : Joe Hutto
Download or read book The Light in High Places written by Joe Hutto and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2014-06-03 with total page 388 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hutto is living in a tent at twelve thousand feet, where blizzards occur in July and where human wants become irrelevant and human needs can become a matter of life and death—to study the Rocky Mountain bighorn sheep. The population of these rare alpine sheep is in decline. The lambs are dying in unprecedented numbers. Hutto’s job is to find out why. For months at a time, he follows the bighorn herds, meets mountain lions and bears, weathers injury and storms, and beautifully observes the incredible splendor of the Rocky Mountains. Hutto has a deep connection to Wyoming, having managed a large cattle ranch in his past. He weaves Wyoming’s history of the cowboy, mountain ecology, and the lives of the bighorn sheep into a beautiful flowing narrative. Ultimately, he discovers that the lambs are dying of cystic fibrosis due to selenium deficiency, which is caused by acid rain—a grim ecological disaster caused by human pollution. Here is a new twist on a cautionary tale, and a new voice, eloquently expressing the urgency that we mend our ways.

Book Synopsis Last Car to Elysian Fields by : James Lee Burke
Download or read book Last Car to Elysian Fields written by James Lee Burke and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2003-09-23 with total page 349 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sheriff Dave Robicheaux returns to New Orleans to investigate the beating of a controversial Catholic priest and murder of three teenage girls in this intense, atmospheric entry in the New York Times bestselling series. For Dave Robicheaux, there is no easy passage home. New Orleans, and the memories of his life in the Big Easy, will always haunt him. So to return there means visiting old ghosts, exposing old wounds, opening himself up to new, yet familiar, dangers. When Robicheaux, now a police officer based in the somewhat quieter Louisiana town of New Iberia, learns that an old friend, Father Jimmie Dolan, a Catholic priest always at the center of controversy, has been the victim of a particularly brutal assault, he knows he has to return to New Orleans to investigate, if only unofficially. What he doesn’t realize is that in doing so he is inviting into his life—and into the lives of those around him—an ancestral evil that could destroy them all. A masterful exploration of the troubled side of human nature and the darkest corners of the heart, and filled with the kinds of unforgettable characters that are the hallmarks of his novels, Last Car to Elysian Fields is Burke in top form in the kind of lush, atmospheric thriller that is “an outstanding entry in an excellent series” (Publishers Weekly).
Download or read book Lightning Storm written by Patrick Kirk and published by Page Publishing Inc. This book was released on 2020-01-08 with total page 474 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the last twenty years of the 20th Century, set in Georgia and primarily in southern California, Patrick Kirk writes a fictional account of the lives of Bryan and Carolyn Jenkins as they traverse the “yuppies gotta have it all” lifestyle. The story is in some ways a high tech suspense thriller; part romance, part spy novel. It is about business, mentorship, career changes and their effects on a marriage and having a family in the 90’s. It’s also about corporate corruption and greed and how the PC software revolution assisted in the decline in American business values. It’s a dissection of the Enron-driven rolling electrical blackouts and the company’s ultimate demise. Some of the story lines are imagined after people, places, events and technology encountered by the author during his thirty years in the PC software business.

Book excerpt: "John Verdon writes grown–up detective novels, by which I mean stories with intelligent plots, well–developed characters and crimes that have social consequences. White River Burning, featuring the author's brainy gumshoe–for–hire, Dave Gurney, checks all these boxes." —The New York Times Book Review Tensions have been running high in White River as it approaches the anniversary of a fatal shooting of a black motorist by a local police officer. The polarized city is on edge, confronted with angry demonstrations, arson, and looting. In the midst of the turmoil, a White River police officer is shot dead by an unknown sniper.

Download or read book Storm Sky Blues written by Parker Avrile and published by Paris April Press. This book was released on 2021-08-19 with total page 117 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When he can't keep pretending... Gray's social-climbing parents have a plan for their son. The same plan that worked perfectly well for his father before him. Law school, socialite wife, millions of dollars in the bank. It's all planned out for the next thirty years. The plan doesn't allow for art school. Much less kissing boys. This shorter 30,000-word novel is a "sweet" gay coming-of-age story featuring a character in his mid-teens. There is some rough language, but there is no "steam." Like many young adult novels featuring a teen hero, the ending is open-ended because life is open-ended at that age. Gray and Sparky will meet again in college. You can read their college gay romance in the full-length 80,000-word novel, Kickoff Blues. You may consider this book a prequel to Kickoff Blues, but it doesn't matter which one you read first. Also, Kickoff Blues is Book #3 in the Last Chances Academy series, but you can read it first if you want to since Books 1 & 2 follow a different romance. Keywords & themes: Last Chances Academy, gay academy romance, free, free gay books, free young adult books, free YA, young adult, coming of age, first love, crushes, runaway teens, teen boys, gay teens, puppy love, contemporary, coming of age, escape from conversion therapy, homophobic parents, father/son conflict, fathers and sons, families. Related Books by Parker Avrile include the novels in the Last Chances Academy series: Hot Roommate Blues, Hot Mafia Blues, and Kickoff Blues, as well as the short story Bully Crush Blues. Similar themes of runaway gay teens and father/son struggle appear in the author's original Runaway Model trilogy, which includes The Runaway Model, The Runaway Millions, and The Runaway Father. That series is a LOT more angsty, though.
