Sinopse

In "The Boy With the U. S. Foresters," Francis Rolt-Wheeler intertwines adventure and education, providing a vivid portrayal of the life of a young boy involved with the U.S. Forest Service. Set against the backdrop of America's natural landscapes, the narrative blends elements of wilderness adventure with an engaging coming-of-age story, capturing both the challenges and triumphs of youth. Rolt-Wheeler'Äôs style is characterized by rich descriptions and a sense of immediacy that immerses readers in the environmental concerns of the early 20th century, reflecting the burgeoning conservation movement and the significance of forestry work during this era. Francis Rolt-Wheeler, an author deeply influenced by his passion for nature and the outdoors, wrote this book during a time when the American public began to recognize the importance of preserving natural resources. His background as a naturalist and his dedicated advocacy for conservation shaped the way he approached storytelling, imbuing his works with not only adventure but a strong moral imperative. His experiences in the wilderness, combined with his educational pursuits, uniquely positioned him to illuminate the vital role of forestry in American society. I highly recommend "The Boy With the U. S. Foresters" to readers of all ages who seek an engaging and informative narrative that emphasizes environmental stewardship. This work serves as an inspiring introduction to the values of conservation, teaching readers the significance of their relationship with nature while also offering a thrilling adventure that sparks the imagination.

And Finally explores what happens when someone who has spent a lifetime on the frontline of life and death finds himself contemplating what might be his own death sentence.As he navigates the bewildering transition from doctor to patient, he is haunted by past failures and projects yet to be completed, and frustrated by the inconveniences of illness and old age. But he is also more entranced than ever by the mysteries of science and the brain, the beauty of the natural world and his love for his family. Elegiac, candid, luminous and poignant, And Finally is ultimately not so much an audiobook about death, but an audiobook about life and what matters in the end.

    What happens when life throws together a busy, enthusiastic, doctor-daughter and her bereaved, disenchanted, dependent father? What happens when science meets stubbornness and a parent needs parenting? 
    Following her mother’s death, Dr Helena Popovic puts her medical training and beliefs to the test when she becomes the carer for her elderly father, who has encroaching dementia. 
    A passionate medical practitioner and international speaker, Helena finds herself living out everything she preached. 
    This moving story is part personal diary, part scientific treatise and part practical guide, woven together with humorous anecdotes. Above all, it’s an inspiring account of a daughter in search of her father: the man beyond the grief, despair, depression and dementia. 
    This timeless book deals with a complex issue many of us will need to face: how best to care for elderly parents or loved ones who can no longer care for themselves. What do those in our care most need from us? 
    Are there steps we can take to defy dementia and build a better brain? Are we able to sharpen our intellect, tap into brain potential we never knew we had, and prevent the cognitive decline most of us believe is inevitable with ageing? 
    The answer is an unequivocal YES! 
    Facts inform but stories transform. The facts in this book will change your thinking – the story in this book will change your life. 
    ‘Who would have thought that dementia could be such an adventure—that adventure, in fact, prevents dementia!’ Dr Sarah Woodbury FRANZCOG
