What is it about Yellowstone National Park that draws millions of visitors from all over the world? If you've visited Yellowstone, you should already know the answer. If you've never visited--or you have, but still don't know the answer--Michael Leach explains it to you in his book of essays, Grizzlies on My Mind. Leach is a Yellowstone insider with unmatched passion for this nation's first national park. At the age of twenty-two, Leach's dream of becoming a Yellowstone ranger came true. It wasn't long before he'd earned the nickname "Rev" for his powerful Yellowstone "sermons." In Grizzlies on My Mind, Leach shares his love for Yellowstone--its landscapes and wildlife, especially its iconic bison and grizzlies--as he tells tales that will delight anyone interested in the national park system, wildlife and wild landscapes, rivers and adventure. Heartwarming and heartbreaking stories of human lives lost, efforts to save a black bear cub, a famous wolf who helped Leach through some dark personal days, the unique and oftentimes humorous Yellowstone "culture," backpacking trips that nearly ended in disaster, and Leach's spiritual journey with his Assiniboine-Gros Ventre "brother" fill the pages--and the reader's heart. If you've never been charged by an elk, traveled solo at dawn across Yellowstone's frigid interior (working your way slowly through a herd of peaceful bison in the process), or lain awake in a backcountry tent, listening for the spine-tingling breaths of a curious grizzly--but you crave such experiences, Grizzlies on My Mind is the book for you.Binding Type: Paperback

I Am My Brother's Keeper.
Format: Paperback
I Am My Brother's Keeper. I had met Gary Rhule , a Jamaican American, because we are both Connecticut authors and belong to CAPA , Connecticut Author's and Publishers Association. I had offered to read and review his book about essential survival skills for recovery from mental illness , because like Dr. Rhule, I also work in a hospital with patients who have neurological and or psychiatric brain disorders. However , I found the book to cover more than just that. It deals with the stigma of mental illness, the choices a sibling and care giver have to choose, and the decision to care for a brother who has mental illness.
The book also juxtaposes Gary Rhule's work as an emergency room physician with the work of being a caregiver for a sibling , saving lives and enabling people in both situations. But , unlike the gloomy feeling one might expect from a book dealing with mental illness, this book is exciting , full of interesting stories, and loaded with life's lessons that may be learned from an ER doctor. From the moment I read the first paragraph I was captivated and knew this was a well written book. You can't make this stuff up.
With script like " We are glad you came." She said again. " Sometimes when we call families , they do not come . You know , they have lives too".
You can say Gary has found his "calling" when he decided to take up the challenge of caring for his sibling. However , the above sentence could apply to anyone caring for a family member , for instance a child with a developmental disorder or a parent who has developed dementia.
From the perspective of working in an emergency room , the action competes with anything I have seen on TV. " All the bones and tissues of the ankle and foot were displayed for the entire world to see. Frank Netter , the medical illustrator, could have drawn the ankles anatomy from this wide open view. Surprisingly , there was little blood despite the magnitude of the injury..... I shook my head in disbelief as I imagined his falling , and hearing the snap and loud crack as he fell off the ladder." How do you deal with pain , both physical and emotional ? Read the book and find out. Dr Rhule hopes that by reading his story , others will band together and take up the responsibility of understanding how to cope and deal with mental illness in a family member. Jason is author of Being In Control : Natural Solutions for ADHD, Dyslexia and Test Anxiety".

Brought the adventure to life
Format: Paperback
I didn’t expect to feel so pulled into these ancient stories, but this translation made the adventures and struggles feel real and vivid. The language is modern enough to understand easily but keeps the weight and drama of Homer’s world. It’s the kind of book that makes you appreciate why these stories have lasted so long, and it’s been a rewarding read I’m glad I added to my shelf.

Finally made Homer click for me
Format: Paperback
I’ve tried reading The Iliad and The Odyssey before but always got lost in the language. This translation is clear and smooth while keeping the epic feel of the stories. It helped me actually enjoy the characters and battles without feeling like I was stuck in a high school assignment. It’s made these classics feel alive and human, and I’m glad I gave it another try with this version.

Epic tales that still resonate
Format: Paperback
I dove into Dawson’s twin translation of The Iliad and The Odyssey hoping for clarity—and instead found myself struck by their emotional pull. Achilles’ fury, Hector’s honor, Odysseus’ longing for home—it all felt immediate and real. Dawson’s language flows so naturally, I forgot I was reading an ancient text. There were moments I stopped and sighed, moved by how these characters still speak to our hearts today.
