Book mail is the best, and when it is an unexpected gift from a bookish friend, it is a treasure. I am so grateful that she shared one of her favorite books of all time with me. I don’t know that I would have ever discovered it independently, and it is a beautiful story. A beautiful story because it is a true story. What a treasure to read the bond, the understanding, the kindness, the thoughtful care, and the love shared between a man named Bob and an elephant named Amy. I didn’t know him as Robert Norris or Bob to his family, friends, and community. He is the cowboy we of a certain age knew from commercials and billboards as the "Marlboro Man." The cowboy smoking Marlboro cigarettes.

In the 1980s, a little elephant in Africa was given the name Amy before she began a journey across the ocean. Little did she know that this frightening time would give her an extraordinary life—an extraordinary life because of humans that love animals and dedicate their lives to them. The primary story is Amy’s life on the ranch with Bob Norris. It is heartwarming in every way. It shares a man’s patience, a man’s kindness, a man’s compassion, and how it led to a friendship beyond imagination. A friendship for an elephant far from the only home she knew, an elephant on her own, and what happened when she began to respond to kindness, trust she was safe from harm, and enjoy her daily life.

Malcolm MacPherson brings the story to life with atmospheric writing, interspersing background information and facts about African elephants to help readers understand the depth of the "remarkable friendship" and to give an appreciation of the species.

A bibliography of resources to read “More About Elephants” is provided at the end of the book. To all who want to learn about elephants and/or study elephants, the bibliography must include this book. For animal lovers, it is the gift and treasured delight experienced by unconditional love.

While I haven't watched The Deadliest Catch often (just on occasion), I appreciated the author's realism in his storytelling away from the show. Reality shows are often scripted, and while I know the book has been edited, it felt a lot more realistic to me than a scripted show. Either way, I enjoyed reading the book and would definitely recommend it to fans of the show.

Afghanistan, March 2002. In the early morning darkness on a frigid mountaintop, a U.S. soldier is stranded, alone, surrounded by fanatical al Qaeda fighters.

In this gripping you-are-there account–based on stunning eyewitness testimony and painstaking research–journalist Malcolm MacPherson thrusts us into a drama of rescue, tragedy, and valor in a place that would be known as.. ROBERTS RIDGE. the taking of Takur Ghar… (lisätietoja)
