Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. Vigil: The Poetry of Presence, a collection of sixty-five poems written from the perspective of a seasoned hospice volunteer sitting with others in the last days and moments of their life, is the author's processing of her many and varied experiences while being present and bearing witness to the sacred moments of dying. The poems originated in the author's personal journal, a safe and private place where her processing of experiences occurs. With the urging of close friends, the unedited poems were transferred to a manuscript and, over the course of a year, prepared for publication. This collection allows each reader, at his/her own pace, to be closer to and more aware of the sacred process of dying. Deeper meaning is found in everyday life when we have the opportunity to, intimately and honestly, connect with our own mortality. Holding a space of compassionate presence for those who are dying brings this gift. As one reader wrote, This little book is much larger than its physical size. Heartfelt poetry woven from the threads of kindness, acceptance and the ability to be fully present for others. She holds her readers as tenderly as she holds the hands of the dying. The poet's insights have much to teach all of us who care for people through life's final chapter, both newcomer and veteran alike.…

Condizione: Good. For the US Navy's elite team of SEALs, the mission seemed straightforward enough: take control of a towering, 10,240-foot mountain peak called Takur Ghar, a key post in their plan to smash Taliban al Qaeda in eastern Afghanistan. But the enemy was waiting, and when the Special Forces chopper was shredded by enemy fire, a red-haired SEAL named Neil Roberts was thrown from the aircraft. Roberts' fellow SEALs were determined to bring him out--no matter what the cost. This harrowing true account captures in dramatic detail their seventeen-hour battle, fought against near-impossible odds, to save one of their own. This is a gripping you-are-there account based on stunning eyewitness testimony and painstaking research by journalist Malcolm MacPherson.…

Paperback. Condizione: Fair. Readers join desperate pilots in the cockpit as they fight gravity and time in a plane that's falling out of the sky. Anyone who watches the news knows about the "black box." Officially called the cockpit voice recorder, the black box (which is actually Day-glo orange) records the final moments of any in-flight accident. Often it provides the only explanation of a crash -- inevitably, it provides a heart-breaking, second-by-second account of intense fear tempered by unyielding professionalism. This 1984 Quill title has been completely updated to include twenty-eight new incidents occurring between 1978 and 1996. Some are famous, like the 1996 Valujet crash in the Everglades and the ill-fated launch of the space shuttle Challenger; other disasters range from commuter prop aircraft to jumbo airliners and a pair of Air Force planes. Few have ever been revealed in their entirety, each, without exception, is absolutely gripping. In this new edition, editor Malcolm MacPherson has, wherever possible, added weather notes and descriptions of events in the cockpit and cabin, heightening our vivid sense of being there during the final moments. Provided by the National Transportation Safety Board and vetted by an experienced airline captain, these are unforgettable case studies in ultimate emergency -- authentic, immediate, filled with drama, terror, human frailty and error, and unquenchable courage. …

Paperback. Condizione: Good. A heartwarming true story of a cowboy, a rescued elephant, and the bond they shared In the late 1980s, a baby elephant was born on the plains of southern Africa, only for her herd to face a tragedy. During a cull, her family was slaughtered, and the terrified newborn's life was spared so she could be transported to America to be sold. Enter Bob Norris--a real-life cowboy with an enormous empathy for animals. Raised with a pet bear, Bob achieved his boyhood dream of running a massive horse-and-cattle ranch in Colorado. Handsome as a movie star, he became the iconic Marlboro Man featured on billboards around the world. But despite his success, he felt something missing. That changed when the hurt, vulnerable orphan elephant--named Amy--came into his life. An incredible bond formed between the most unlikely of friends. Bob adopted Amy, and using his skills as a master horseman, he set about helping her heal. Through close observation, gentle training, humor, and endless perseverance, he helped her overcome her fear of the world. Amy became a beloved member of the Norris family and a "hand" on the ranch, tending chores and riding fences alongside Bob on his horse. Yet Bob always knew the ultimate goal was for Amy to regain her independence--and perhaps even return to the savannahs of Africa. The Cowboy and His Elephant is the true story of how Amy and Bob came together: a simple, unforgettable tale of unlikely love and lifelong friendship.…
