Download or read book Silent Thunder written by Katy Payne and published by Penguin. This book was released on 1999-09-01 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A natural history rich in observation of the animal world and how humans participate in it, Silent Thunder is also a passionate story of scientist Katy Payne’s spiritual quest as she turns a keen eye on her role in this world. Starting with the story of her revolutionary discovery that elephants use infrasonic sounds—sounds below the range of human hearing—to communicate, Payne shares what she learned from her fascinating field research in Africa, research that reveals new insights into elephants’ social lives. When five of the elephant families she studies are the victims of culling, Payne’s approach to her research changes, as she fights valiantly to protect the elephants. The result of her research, and the touching insights gained from Africans she worked with and the elephants she studied, give a vivid impression of Payne’s view from the front lines of the natural preservation effort. Like Peter Matthiessen’s The Snow Leopard and the writings of Jane Goodall, Silent Thunder demonstrates how a commitment to all life can bring one’s own into a new focus.

Book Synopsis Silent Thunder by : Leonard W. Miller
Download or read book Silent Thunder written by Leonard W. Miller and published by Red Sea Press(NJ). This book was released on 2004 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Every once in a while, a story comes along that enrages, enlightens and inspires all at once. Silent Thunder, the highly anticipated memoir of legendary auto racing veteran Len Miller is one such story. It offers a rare and surprising inside look at the struggles and triumphs of some of the most courageous men and women in motorsports -- African Americans. Whether you're a racing fan or a black history enthusiast, the author's deeply personal chronicle of his remarkable forty-year career as a manager and owner of African American teams is a gripping testimonial to the empowered underdog in all of us. From inside the pits where resourcefulness defines victory or defeat, to behind the wheel with nothing but the smell of adrenaline and fear, to the plush upholstered offices of corporate sponsors where truth can be treacherous, Silent Thunder is an engrossing read that moves at lightening speed. The author also shares fascinating behind-the-scenes anecdotes featuring such names as Howard Cosell, Dan Gurney, Mario Andretti, Skip Barber, Clarence Thomas, Malcolm Durham, Wendell Scott, Linda Lovelace, Don King, and many others. Len Miller's narrative acumen is eclipsed only by his engrossing honesty. Silent Thunder is a compelling window into the resiliency of the human spirit in the face of injustice, humiliation, and even cruelty. Yet, while it exposes the underbelly of racism and elitism in one of America's most beloved sports, it also celebrates the hope and possibility for change. Book jacket.

Book Synopsis A Silent Thunder by : Eduardo Iván López
Download or read book A Silent Thunder written by Eduardo Iván López and published by Broadway Play Publishing. This book was released on 1995 with total page 82 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The soldier and the girl, the girl and the soldier. Of such are many plays and movies made to warm the heart over many years... A SILENT THUNDER, the quite heartwarming play... The girl works in a tailor shop in Okinawa, which is where the play is set in 1966, during the Vietnam War... The Marine is Corporal Joe Santana, a Puerto Rican American orphan." Jerry Tallmer, New York Post "This sweet tale by playwright Eduardo Iván López becomes so much more than the tried-and-true serviceman's one-night-stand becoming true love. His characters are original because they rebel from the identities fate has dealt them and are consciously trying to become the people they desire to be. The script becomes universal because Mr Lopez uses war effectively as a symbol of personal disillusionment and social injustice. He makes love between these two strikingly different characters seem like the most natural thing in the world." Kris Oser, New York Law Journal
