Download or read book The Last Unicorn written by William deBuys and published by Little, Brown. This book was released on 2015-03-10 with total page 366 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An award-winning author's quest to find and understand a creature as rare and enigmatic as any on Earth. In 1992, in a remote mountain range, a team of scientists discovered the remains of an unusual animal with exquisite long horns. It turned out to be a living species new to Western science -- a saola, the first large land mammal discovered in fifty years. Rare then and rarer now, a live saola had never been glimpsed by a Westerner in the wild when Pulitzer Prize finalist and nature writer William deBuys and conservation biologist William Robichaud set off to search for it in central Laos. Their team endured a punishing trek up and down white-water rivers and through mountainous terrain ribboned with the snare lines of armed poachers who roamed the forest, stripping it of wildlife. In the tradition of Bruce Chatwin, Colin Thubron, and Peter Matthiessen, The Last Unicorn chronicles deBuys's journey deep into one of the world's most remote places. It's a story rich with the joys and sorrows of an expedition into undiscovered country, pursuing a species as rare and elusive as the fabled unicorn. As is true with the quest for the unicorn, in the end the expedition becomes a search for something more: the essence of wildness in nature, evidence that the soul of a place can endure, and the transformative power of natural beauty.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER “An inspiring story that manages to be painful, honest, shocking, bawdy and hilarious.” —The New York Times Book Review From stand-up comedian, actress, and breakout star of Girls Trip, Tiffany Haddish, comes The Last Black Unicorn, a sidesplitting, hysterical, edgy, and unflinching collection of (extremely) personal essays, as fearless as the author herself. Growing up in one of the poorest neighborhoods of South Central Los Angeles, Tiffany learned to survive by making people laugh. If she could do that, then her classmates would let her copy their homework, the other foster kids she lived with wouldn’t beat her up, and she might even get a boyfriend. Or at least she could make enough money—as the paid school mascot and in-demand Bar Mitzvah hype woman—to get her hair and nails done, so then she might get a boyfriend. None of that worked (and she’s still single), but it allowed Tiffany to imagine a place for herself where she could do something she loved for a living: comedy. Tiffany can’t avoid being funny—it’s just who she is, whether she’s plotting shocking, jaw-dropping revenge on an ex-boyfriend or learning how to handle her newfound fame despite still having a broke person’s mind-set. Finally poised to become a household name, she recounts with heart and humor how she came from nothing and nowhere to achieve her dreams by owning, sharing, and using her pain to heal others. By turns hilarious, filthy, and brutally honest, The Last Black Unicorn shows the world who Tiffany Haddish really is—humble, grateful, down-to-earth, and funny as hell. And now, she’s ready to inspire others through the power of laughter.

Luna and Oliver change into shining examples of light and friendship that help others reach their full potential. They create a sense of community and support that helps animals grow and celebrate the beauty of differences. Luna's story has reached far beyond the magical woods and won the hearts of children in other countries. They go to the forest because they want to see the magic for themselves. Luna and Oliver are there to meet them. They share their knowledge with them and encourage them to use their own magic. As Luna and Oliver's spirits mix with the magic of the forest, their heritage lives on. The woods become a place of peace and inspiration, where the flame of wonder keeps burning in the minds of everyone who visits. The story of Luna and her amazing journey shows us that the best things are out there for people who are brave enough to believe in themselves and see the beauty inside. It shows how important friendship is, how strong the human spirit is, and how love can change things. Luna's story becomes a symbol of hope that will last forever and give hope to future generations. The story starts out like this: Luna was a magical creature who used to live in a forest that was full of life and color. Luna was a beautiful unicorn. Her coat was as white as fresh snow, and her horn sparkled like a mirror in the sun. She had a kind and caring heart, and her eyes were full of wonder and interest. One day, Luna woke up with a spark of curiosity in her eyes. She wanted to see what was outside the forest, which she had lived in for so long. Luna took a deep breath and decided it was time to go on a journey, which made her heartbeat faster. Luna jumped ahead, and as she galloped down the familiar trails of the woods, a rush of adrenaline went through her body. Her feet made a rhythmic song against the soft earth as they echoed through the woods like a happy symphony. Luna was soothed by the familiar sights and smells of the forest, but deep down she wanted something more—a taste of the amazing that was just out of her reach. As Luna got closer to the edge of the forest, she noticed a change in the air. The air seemed to be filled with a magical force and words of magic that made her want to explore. It seemed like the forest itself was telling secrets about treasures to be found outside of its limits. Luna moved closer to the edge, her mane fluttering and her eyes shining with purpose. Her heart was pounding with a mix of excitement and fear. The forest had been her safe place and her home, but now she was in a whole new world, where thoughts and imaginations collided, and every day gave way to the extraordinary. Luna was interested in what she didn't know, so she went outside of her comfort zone. She stopped for a while because she was afraid of what she didn't know. But Luna knew deep down that life was all about accepting the unknown and exploring places no one had been before. Luna put all her courage into a leap of trust. She rode forward, and her hooves carried her through the trees and into the magical world. As soon as she crossed the line, she felt tingly, as if the air itself was charged with magic. She had never felt anything like it before: a heady mix of joy and surprise. A beautiful view of green fields, tall mountains, and sparkling lakes spread out in front of her. The place seemed to shine with a wacky light, as if it had been touched by humor itself. Every step Luna took was a surprise, and every breath she took smelled like options. Slowly, the world beyond the trees showed its beauty. Flowers grew in every color of the rainbow and made a beautiful song. Majestic animals with wings and scales flew through the sky, adding bright colors to everything. As Luna went deeper into this strange world, she came across creatures that had only been mentioned in stories. Fairies flew through the air with wings that were clear and shone like small rainbows. They smiled and giggled sneakily at Luna and led her to private clearings where they laughed and told her secrets. In their company, Luna's heart felt lighter, as if the weight of the world had been taken off. Luna was surrounded by the magical energy in the air, which gave her a feeling of purpose and wonder. She found out that the world of magic was more than just a place to hide. It was also a place where imagination and faith were the most important things. In this setting, dreams took flight, and the unusual became the norm. Fear and reluctance turned into courage and interest for Luna over time. She was no longer scared of the unknown. Instead, it drove her forward into a world with endless options. She liked the thrill of finding new things, like going to places she hadn't been before, meeting new people, and finding secret treasures that made her heart happy. Luna's leap of faith not only let her into a magical world, but it also lit a fire in her—an insatiable desire to learn and a deep-seated belief in the power of stepping outside of one's comfort zone. She knew that people who were brave enough to face the unknown would grow and have real adventures. As Luna went through this beautiful place, she met magical creatures who had made this world their home. Wise old wizards passed on their knowledge and taught important lessons about how magic, and duty should work together. As they danced around the fields and laughed, the nymphs filled the air with joy and mischief. And beautiful unicorns rushed with Luna, confirming who she was and telling her of how strong she was on the inside. With each new person she met, Luna's sense of who she was grew stronger. She found hidden skills and strengths she didn't know she had. She learned to trust her gut, listen to what her heart was telling her, and believe in herself. The enchanted realm she had moved to had become a place where she could learn about herself. Every experience and contact had made her a stronger, more confident unicorn. Luna's quest, on the other hand, was not easy. Along the way, she ran into big problems that put her willpower to the test. Dark woods, dangerous ravines, and whirling clouds all tried to stop her from getting where she needed to go. In her head, doubt whispered warnings and begged her to turn around. But Luna found her own strength and used what she had learned to move forward with a strong sense of purpose. Luna found that the real magic wasn't just in the things she saw, but also in herself when she didn't know what to do. Her faith in herself and her determination helped her get through the worst times, and she was able to overcome any task. Luna found that her spirit held the power to help her overcome problems, but it was silent. As Luna stood on a beautiful hill and looked out over the vast area of the magical country she had grown to love. As the sun went down, it filled the area with golden light and cast long shadows that moved to the sounds of her trip. As Luna thought about everything she had seen and done, she felt proud of herself. She had learned what true friendship was, gotten the strength to face her fears, and unlocked the magic that was inside her. Luna had understood that the most valuable thing she had seen was not what she had seen, but how her heart had changed. Luna went back to the familiar forest she used to live in. She did so with a new understanding and a spirit that burned brighter than ever. No longer did it feel tight or limiting. Instead, it looked like a safe place where she could share the magic and knowledge she had learned on her amazing journey. Luna rode her horse back across the border of the enchanted realm and into the warm comfort of her favorite forest. The soft ground under her hooves seemed to sing a happy tune because she was back. Luna's presence gave off a unique vibe that made other species want to try new things and go on with their own adventures. With a playful toss of her hair, Luna moved into a place she didn't know. Light from the sun bounced off the leaves and made bright patterns on her white cloak. Her heart was beating faster as she thought about the new people she'd meet, the secret treasures she'd find, and the stories she'd hear on this amazing trip. Luna didn't know that this trip would involve more than just a walk through a magical forest. It would test her courage, make her think about her beliefs, and light a fire of self-discovery deep inside her. She would see things that were more amazing than anything she could have imagined. She would also face surprises that would test her strength. As Luna went deeper into the unknown, she met a group of naughty fairies with beautiful wings that sparkled like rainbows. They flew around her, whispering secrets about the forest and showing her hidden paths. Luna's heart filled with joy when she learned that everywhere she turned, she would meet new friends. Luna was led to a secret waterfall by the fairies' playful giggles as she followed their ethereal glow. It fell in a fluid way, and its clear waters made beautiful music that filled the air. Luna was amazed to see that the water sparkled with a beautiful light, just like the colors of a rainbow. Luna cautiously walked up to the edge of the pool, drawn by its beauty. As she went deeper into the pool, her own image stared back at her, mirroring the determination in her eyes. She saw more than just her body; she saw the spirit of who she really was, waiting to be found. The river told cosmic secrets and promised that wants would be met, and that people's deepest wishes would be revealed. Luna could feel the power in the air as it swirled around her, urging her to find out what she was capable of and what secrets were inside her. Luna got down on her knees and put her hoof in the water. Her heart was strong. As waves moved across the pool's surface, she felt a rush of energy. It was almost as if the water knew she was there and knew how powerful she was.
