  • Author : Sy Montgomery
  • Publisher : Chelsea Green Publishing
  • Release : 2009-02-15
  • ISBN : 1603581464
  • Pages : 250 pages

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 Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother

Download or read book Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother written by Amy Chua and published by A&C Black. This book was released on 2011-12-06 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A lot of people wonder how Chinese parents raise such stereotypically successful kids. They wonder what Chinese parents do to produce so many math whizzes and music prodigies, what it's like inside the family, and whether they could do it too. Well, I can tell them, because I've done it... Amy Chua's daughters, Sophia and Louisa (Lulu) were polite, interesting and helpful, they had perfect school marks and exceptional musical abilities. The Chinese-parenting model certainly seemed to produce results. But what happens when you do not tolerate disobedience and are confronted by a screaming child who would sooner freeze outside in the cold than be forced to play the piano? Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother is a story about a mother, two daughters, and two dogs. It was supposed to be a story of how Chinese parents are better at raising kids than Western ones. But instead, it's about a bitter clash of cultures, a fleeting taste of glory, and how you can be humbled by a thirteen-year-old. Witty, entertaining and provocative, this is a unique and important book that will transform your perspective of parenting forever.

I chose the name of my tea shop--Dr. Bombay's Underwater Tea Party --because it sounded whimsical.India wasn't a part of the equation. Not even remotely. I didn't do yoga. I had no deep yearning to see the Taj Mahal or tour Hindu temples. I was not harboring some spiritual desire to follow the path of the Buddha. Indian food? I could take it or leave it. But a regular customer, Cate Powell, raved about a trip she'd taken there as a Rotary Club scholar. Cate was planning to go again to work with a women's handicraft exchange. Her enthusiasm was infectious.'You should come, ' she said after breezing into the shop one day. I didn't give it much thought.

Book Playing Through

Download or read book Playing Through written by Earl Woods and published by William Morrow. This book was released on 1998-05-06 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At the heart of Tiger Woods' accomplishments is the special bond he shares with his father, mentor and first goal coach, Earl Woods. In Playing Through, Tiger's dad shares the never-before-told story of the Woods family. Part autobiography and part ultimate insider's biography of Tiger, Playing Through is Earl Woods' opportunity to have his say and pass on lessons he has learned along the way. For the first time, Earl faces the critics and cynics, addressing head-on the controversies and rumors that have grabbed headlines. In this brutally honest account of life with Tiger, Earl reveals how Tiger struggled to adapt to life as a pro, the racial attacks and hate mail, the painful sacrifices the family made throughout the years and the real reasons Tiger left Stanford after just two years. He also tells the untold story of what happened the night before Tiger's Masters' victory and the unique philosophy behind all of Tiger's actions, professional and personal. Earl also shares his own stunning story. Raised by his sister after losing both of his parents by the time he was 13, he chose the military over a promising baseball career. He reveals the racial barriers that tortured him throughout his Army days, how he found his calling in the Green Berets and shocking details about his two tours of duty in Vietnam, where he met and befriended the original "Tiger," for whom his famous son is named. Woven throughout his recollections is the legacy of his mother and the lessons she imparted to him about family, faith and hard work -- all of which helped Earl to nurture and guide his son's talent. A tribute to Tiger, to the powerful role of family and the bonds between fathers and sons and to the sport that has made so much possible for the Woods family, Earl's words will inspire all of us to work hard, dream big and "play through" life's challenges.

A romance with a sticky affair. #modernSetting #jealousy #officeLove #contract #oneNightStand #comedy #sweetAndLovely * This short story of GL(Girls' Love) is translated from from the original Korean short web-novel. (text only, no illustration) Tables Of Contents Title Page Body Content Copyright (53 pages in approx. print length) Preview A Large neat office with a view of the blue Han River through the windows. A pile of documents put it down as if tossing a file she was holding, and pressed her eyelids tightly. In front of the woman in a semi-suit with her long wavy blonde hair scattered randomly, there was a nameplate that read [Director, Han, Sol]. Soon, Sol's eyes stretched out with a grim expression on the woman with a cold impression sitting at the diagonal desk. A woman with brown medium hair, a loose-fitting blouse and black pants, was wearing a typical office look. "By the way." Such a woman as if to scan her, broke her silence, indifferent gazes met her eyes. Her brown eyes that met her did not contain any emotion. "Why does Secretary Yeo only wear pants?" "I don't want to give room to you, Director." Question was simple, and the answer was also simple. For a moment, Sol, whose forehead was wrinkled, opened her mouth softly as if it was ridiculous. "Ha, you know what kind of beast I am, what about Secretary Yeo?" "……" There was no reply this time. It was clearly an unspoken affirmation. Sol, whose eyes became fierce all at once, spit out in a stern tone. "You are only a herbivore anthro." "…what did you say now?" JooHye's sharp voice and fierce gaze flew at the same time. Sol stared at those gazes and sarcastically. "Only a herbivore anthro, I said." "……" There were Anthros who accounted for about 10% of the total population in the world. It wasn't that common, but it wasn't that rare. In the past, the oppression against Anthro was rather severe, but now the situation has changed a little. More people were interested in it with a curious eye than those who discriminated openly. Of course, there were still people who hated Anthro just because they were different. Because of this, Anthros wore accessories that inhibit mutation.
