Book Synopsis Into the Tiger's Jaw by : Frank E Petersen
Download or read book Into the Tiger's Jaw written by Frank E Petersen and published by Naval Institute Press. This book was released on 2012-07-30 with total page 307 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Like many 18-year-olds who sign up to serve with the U.S. Navy, Petersen was looking for adventure when he enlisted. The difference between him and the average kid of 1950, when he enlisted, was that Petersen was African American. At the time military opportunities were limited for blacks, so it was remarkable that Petersen, revealed here as an intense go-getter, was admitted to the highly competitive naval aviation cadet program. He would go on to become the first African American pilot, then flag officer, then three-star general in the deeply conservative Marine Corps. Assisted by veteran biographer Phelps, Petersen relates his personal and career trajectory from wide-eyed kid to seasoned combatant. Although the presentation at times is overly detailed, with recollections of Petersen's acquaintances sprinkled liberally throughout. This work offers valuable insight into the evolution of both the military and the society at large through the experience of one man and his family. It's hard not to wince when Petersen describes being stopped for impersonating a military officer at a time when blacks in the service were presumed to be enlisted men. Other anecdotes are more benign, such as the time a puzzled young Korean woman tried to wipe the color from his face. To Petersen's credit, he includes much commentary from his first wife, Ellie, who is candid about the toll of being married to an ambitious pioneer. Through her, readers see the mettle of that rare breed of social groundbreakers." — Publishers Weekly

Book Synopsis Waking the Tiger: Healing Trauma by : Peter A. Levine, Ph.D.
Download or read book Waking the Tiger: Healing Trauma written by Peter A. Levine, Ph.D. and published by North Atlantic Books. This book was released on 1997-07-07 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Now in 24 languages. Nature's Lessons in Healing Trauma... Waking the Tiger offers a new and hopeful vision of trauma. It views the human animal as a unique being, endowed with an instinctual capacity. It asks and answers an intriguing question: why are animals in the wild, though threatened routinely, rarely traumatized? By understanding the dynamics that make wild animals virtually immune to traumatic symptoms, the mystery of human trauma is revealed. Waking the Tiger normalizes the symptoms of trauma and the steps needed to heal them. People are often traumatized by seemingly ordinary experiences. The reader is taken on a guided tour of the subtle, yet powerful impulses that govern our responses to overwhelming life events. To do this, it employs a series of exercises that help us focus on bodily sensations. Through heightened awareness of these sensations trauma can be healed.

Book excerpt: A venerable tiger, old and toothless now, looks back over his life from cubhood and early days roaming wild in the Indian jungle. Trapped into a miserable circus career as 'Raja the magnificent', he is then sold into films (co-starring with a beefy Tarzan in a leopard skin) until, finding the human world too brutish and bewildering, he makes a dramatic bid for freedom.

Narayan's story combines Hindu mysticism with ripe Malgudi comedy, viewing human absurdities through the eyes of a wild animal and revealing how, quite unexpectedly, Raja finds sweet companionship and peace.

Book Synopsis Spell of the Tiger by : Sy Montgomery
Download or read book Spell of the Tiger written by Sy Montgomery and published by Chelsea Green Publishing. This book was released on 2009-02-15 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the author of The Soul of an Octopus and bestselling memoir The Good Good Pig, a book that earned Sy Montgomery her status as one of the most celebrated wildlife writers of our time, Spell of the Tiger brings readers to the Sundarbans, a vast tangle of mangrove swamp and tidal delta that lies between India and Bangladesh. It is the only spot on earth where tigers routinely eat people—swimming silently behind small boats at night to drag away fishermen, snatching honey collectors and woodcutters from the forest. But, unlike in other parts of Asia where tigers are rapidly being hunted to extinction, tigers in the Sundarbans are revered. With the skill of a naturalist and the spirit of a mystic, Montgomery reveals the delicate balance of Sundarbans life, explores the mix of worship and fear that offers tigers unique protection there, and unlocks some surprising answers about why people at risk of becoming prey might consider their predator a god.

Book Synopsis All the Way to the Tigers by : Mary Morris
Download or read book All the Way to the Tigers written by Mary Morris and published by Anchor. This book was released on 2020-06-09 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of NPR's Best Books of the Year From the author of Nothing to Declare, a moving travel narrative examining healing, redemption, and what it means to be a solo woman on the road. In February 2008, a casual afternoon of ice skating derailed the trip of a lifetime. Mary Morris was on the verge of a well-earned sabbatical, but instead she endured three months in a wheelchair, two surgeries, and extensive rehabilitation. One morning, when she was supposed to be in Morocco, Morris was lying on the sofa reading Death in Venice, casting her eyes over these words again and again: “He would go on a journey. Not far. Not all the way to the tigers.” Disaster shifted to possibility and Morris made a decision. When she was well enough to walk again, she would go “all the way to the tigers.” So begins a three-year odyssey that takes Morris to India on a tiger safari in search of the world’s most elusive apex predator. Written in over a hundred short chapters accompanied by the author’s photographs, this travel memoir offers an elegiac, wry, and wise look at a woman on the road and the glorious, elusive creature she seeks.

Book excerpt: Two old scallywags break a silly law to “prove” the extinct Tasmanian Tiger lives on. "Great characters. Great fun. Hilarious blend of characters and lies." This is the first in a seven-book series based on the island of Tasmania at the bottom of Australia. The two octogenarians don't just want to alter the course of ecological history. They want to ensure the former mayor gets what he deserves. They want revenge! That stuck-up old bugger has invested their life savings in volatile gold-mining shares without their knowledge. Even worse, he’s also secretly invited a 92-year-old Irish priest to join their last-man-standing lottery – and Father O’Boring has a track record of not dying. Quirky characters lurk around corners in this funny novel. The whimsical adventures continue with Blokes on a Plane, Whitey and the Six Dwarfs, Blokes in Donegal, Blokes in the House, Who Knew Tasmanian Tigers Eat Apples!, and Who Knew Tiger Sharks Also Eat Apples? Three more books are on the drawing board. Order your copy of Lie of the Tiger now and start laughing along to the Windy Mountain series. You need to know more about the opening book? OK. I can't give it all away, but: Caught in the middle of all this black comedy is a new arrival who has some townsfolk fearful because he looks a lot like the man-mountain who once tied the same unpleasant mayor to a tree for a night of terror. The familiar stranger reluctantly takes charge of the Windy Mountain Tasmanian Tiger Museum, owned by a dodgy syndicate with other plans for the site. When the devious manager sets him up to fail, the two old blokes rescue him with their plan to revive the believed extinct Tasmanian Tiger. The former mayor ridicules anyone who thinks the Tasmanian Tiger still roams the bush – and especially not in the main street of Windy Mountain.
