Download or read book A Trail Through Leaves written by Hannah Hinchman and published by W. W. Norton & Company. This book was released on 1997 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To artist-writer-naturalist Hannah Hinchman, the blank pages of a journal are a call to awaken the soul, to celebrate being alive in the world, to get to know both the wilderness of our inmost selves and the "unpredictable and potent" natural world. In the richly illustrated pages of this book, she unfolds a myriad of wonders — the pattern of a bee abdomen, varieties of ice forms and sky colors, the joys of a garden — and shows us how to capture them on the page. Hinchman's respect for the miracle of our five senses, and her passion for what they can tell us about the world, is contagious. "Start with a smell, like a crushed marigold leaf, the sea, coal smoke," she advises, and from such raw materials begin to "decant the stuff of life" into journal form, "where it remains fresh, still tasting of its source." Even for one who has no intention of journal-keeping, to delve into Hinchman's own work is to see with new eyes. A Trail Through Leaves is a true gift and inspiration, a treasure-box of ways to write, draw, and be alive to the world. * "This is an important book, brilliantly produced. Its light will linger a long, long time." — John R. Stilgoe, professor in the history of landscape, Harvard University * "[B]oth a rich work of performance art and a personal growth tool with many handles." — Boston Globe

Download or read book Late Bloomers written by Rich Karlgaard and published by Crown. This book was released on 2021-01-19 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A groundbreaking exploration of how finding one's way later in life can be an advantage to long-term achievement and happiness. “What Yogi Berra observed about a baseball game—it ain't over till it's over—is true about life, and [Late Bloomers] is the ultimate proof of this. . . . It’s a keeper.”—Forbes We live in a society where kids and parents are obsessed with early achievement, from getting perfect scores on SATs to getting into Ivy League colleges to landing an amazing job at Google or Facebook—or even better, creating a start-up with the potential to be the next Google, Facebook or Uber. We see coders and entrepreneurs become millionaires or billionaires before age thirty, and feel we are failing if we are not one of them. Late bloomers, on the other hand, are under-valued—in popular culture, by educators and employers, and even unwittingly by parents. Yet the fact is, a lot of us—most of us—do not explode out of the gates in life. We have to discover our passions and talents and gifts. That was true for author Rich Karlgaard, who had a mediocre academic career at Stanford (which he got into by a fluke) and, after graduating, worked as a dishwasher and night watchman before finding the inner motivation and drive that ultimately led him to start up a high-tech magazine in Silicon Valley, and eventually to become the publisher of Forbes magazine. There is a scientific explanation for why so many of us bloom later in life. The executive function of our brains doesn’t mature until age twenty-five, and later for some. In fact, our brain’s capabilities peak at different ages. We actually experience multiple periods of blooming in our lives. Moreover, late bloomers enjoy hidden strengths because they take their time to discover their way in life—strengths coveted by many employers and partners—including curiosity, insight, compassion, resilience, and wisdom. Based on years of research, personal experience, interviews with neuroscientists, psychologists, and countless people at different stages of their careers, Late Bloomers reveals how and when we achieve our full potential. Praise for Late Bloomers “The underlying message that we should ‘consider a kinder clock for human development’ is a compelling one.”—Financial Times “Late Bloomers spoke to me deeply as a parent of two millennials and as a coach to many new college grads (the children of my friends and associates). It’s a bracing tonic for the anxiety they are swimming through, with a facts-based approach to help us all calm down.”—Robin Wolaner, founder of Parenting magazine

Download or read book A Ranger s Life written by T. W. Strait and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2011-05-12 with total page 243 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: T. W. Strait was employed by the Missouri State Park Board each summer from 1958 through 1962. He was a college summer day worker for the first year, but became the Campground Supervisor for the next four summers. Most of what you will read comes from many personal experiences and a bit of creative license. He saw so many things happen through young eyes that have stuck with him for these many years. Tom met his wife while working at the park and has had a fondness for all memories connected with that work experience. He made many friendships while employed there and for that reason felt it important to share those experiences with you. When Tom started working for the Park System at Lake Ozark State Park, he arrived as a210 pound, over weight, spoon fed son of an IBM Branch Manager who got the job for him during the Christmas break of 1957, Tom's junior year in high school. Mowing his dad's yard and watching TV was his only summer interests during previous summers. This summer was be different. Upon arriving at the park, Tom was quartered in the back room of the main park office witha bunk and with only a refrigerator and a hot plate for appliances. There was no hot water heater, so any showers were taken in very cold well water in the basement, or by catching aride to the campground six miles away for a hot shower. With no vehicle, Tom depended on the other students with cars, two, to go to town to shop for groceries and other necessities. This was a major difference in his past lifestyle. Tom's duties that first year were to help clean all of the restrooms at the campground, swimming beach and picnic shelter. After doing that, he helped haul garbage from each of the above locate ones and then hauled wood back to the campers. Once done with those projects, he and the other boys cut grass and whipped weeds for the rest of each day. Once week he and his co-harts got to runt he road, picking up litter thrown out by thoughtless visitors. That was a 6 mile run in very hot and humid weather. Every once in a while he got the privilege of helping pump out the out house toilets in the campground and that was an enlightening experience. Needless to say, by summers end, Tom had lost 35 pounds and had really gained some never before enjoyed muscle tone, as well as had received a very good education of what life was really all about. The next 4 years as Supervisor, he assigned duty es to the then 6 extra students and he also collected camp fees. During those 5 years, he gained a real appreciate on for life and the feelings of others that has carried with him throughout his later career as a Marketing Manager. After graduating from Indiana University School of Business in 1963, he married his park sweetheart and went to work for a major oil company for the next 4 years. He attained the tatle of Senior Sales Representative before leaving to go back to Missouri to work with a smaller independent oil company as Sales Manager. Here he stayed for the next 40+ years helping build the company to a multimillion dollar concern. He is currently semi-retired, working three days a week for that company and working the other two days with his son in a company they started in 1997 called T & S Distributors, L. L. C. that sells, installs, and services automotive equipment. Tom credits his park experience for much of his business success. It was there he gained firsthand experience dealing with about every conceivable type of situation imaginable. The wife beating, attempted suicide, accidents, lassoing the wounded deer, the lost camper, the German shepherds, the lost teeth, the couple in the tent, the Clydesdales, and forest fires were all things in which Tom personally had to become involved. None of the characters named in this book are real or reflect on anyone he worked with in the park. The comradely, however, did prevail there throughout his tenure. Tom's dealings with all park and Park Board personnel were handled in a very positive an dedicational manner and he is most grateful to the Board and Mr. Joe Jaeger its Director at the time, for giving him the chance of a life time and the job. Tom also dedicates this book tohis first Superintendent, Mr. Ned Brown, who died in a truck accident very much like the one his character JJ in the book experienced. Tom hopes you enjoy these stories as much as he enjoyed experiencing or creating them.
