  According to the American Association of Colleges of Nursing, student enrollment in US nursing programs is rapidly climbing, with more than 250,000 nursing students attending schools across the nation.  
  Which also means tens of thousands of rejection letters get sent out to strong and fully qualified applicants every year. 
  Over 80,000, to be exact. 
  Here’s the problem:

  I love creativity. Creativity has become a big part of my life. I can’t imagine life without fundamental creativity.Being creative is a way to express yourself to the world. Many consider that only the arts offer an avenue of creativity but they would be wrong.  I used to be a software developer and a software development manager and can tell you that some of these most creative persons I ever met were software engineers who write software for a living. The depth of creativity that these people exhibited in their work showed definite splurges of ingenuity in solving problems and in displaying information in great new ways.Many famous designs in engineering are also very creative. The Golden Gate Bridge outside of San Francisco is a great example. Anyone who has seen this bridge can tell you how beautiful it is.What about the Iphone? A lovely device which is good looking and has been engineered to provide incredible capabilities to the user. Isn’t this also an example of great creativity?And many people think you are born being creative or not. That you can’t change your level of creativity. This is not true. You can definitely improve your creativity and use it in your professional or personal life.There are many pieces of advice later in this book to help you work on your creativity. Having an “Outside of the Box Attitude” will help enhance your creativity and improve your life.

Written by a renowned landscape architect, this book offers a new perspective on our place in the world and a compelling vision for a regenerative future. 
  In an era plagued by environmental disasters and global challenges, the book argues that our exploitative and fragmented relationship with nature is at the root of these issues. Drawing upon the metaphor of a self-focused portrait versus a wide-angle landscape view, the book illuminates the profound impact of our narrow perspective. It offers a roadmap for reconnecting with the larger community of life. 
  Through a captivating narrative, the author explores the interconnectedness of the living world and the urgent need to shift from a human-centric mindset to one that embraces the wisdom of nature. It demonstrates with inspiring examples from around the world how landscapes can become catalysts for healing and regeneration, leading to improved well-being and sustainability. 
  Portrait to Landscape presents a holistic approach to restoring the earth, addressing not only the symptoms but also the underlying causes of environmental degradation. The book outlines practical strategies for policymakers, activists, and individuals to protect and restore landscapes, emphasising collaboration and long-term stewardship. 
  With passion and expertise, the book calls on global citizens to take action and become active participants in the healing process. It offers a powerful message of hope and possibility. 
  This thought-provoking book will inspire readers to join the movement towards a more sustainable and regenerative future. It is a must-read for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of our place in the world and how we can inhabit it with integrity.

  The Boom - How Fracking Ignited...

  The "best all-around book yet on fracking" (San Francisco Chronicle) from a Pulitzer Prize finalist: "Gold's work is a tour de force of contemporary journalism" (Booklist). 
   
  First invented in 1947, hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, has not only become a major source of energy, it is changing the way we use energy, and the energy we use. It is both a threat and a godsend for the environment, and it is leading the revival of manufacturing in the United States. 
   
  A definitive narrative history, The Boom follows the twists and turns in the development and adoption of this radical technology. It is a thrilling journey filled with colorful characters: the green-minded Texas oilman who created the first modern frack; a bare-knuckled Oklahoman natural gas empire-builder who gave the world an enormous new supply of energy and was brought down by his own success and excesses; an environmental leader whose embrace of fracking brought an end to his public career; and an aging fracking pioneer who is now trying to save the industry from itself. 
   
  A fascinating and exciting exploration of one of the most controversial and promising sources of energy, The Boom "brings new clarity to a subject awash in hype from all sides…a thoughtful, well-written, and carefully researched book that provides the best overview yet of the pros and cons of fracking. Gold quietly leads both supporters and critics of drilling to consider other views" (Associated Press).

  The Curious History of Irish Dogs

  There are nine breeds of dog that are native to Ireland: four terriers, three gun dogs, and two hounds. In The Curious History of Irish Dogs, David Blake Knox tells the remarkable stories of each of the nine breeds, and reveals how they have become inextricably linked to the human beings with whom they share the island. Irish Wolfhounds stalked through ancient Celtic mythology, while Kerry Beagles were among the victims of the Land War in the 1880s. Charles Stewart Parnell insisted that his Red Setter stay with him when he was on his death bed. During World War One, hundreds of Irish Terriers served on the front lines of the trenches. Michael Collins wanted to make the Kerry Blue the National dog of Ireland. The Glen of Imaal Terrier was deliberately bred to have a genetic defect, while the Irish Water Spaniel was reputed to be descended from the dobhar-chú – a Celtic spirit. Six of Ireland's nine native breeds of dog are now considered vulnerable to extinction, but they are an integral part of our cultural narrative and have added both to our social history – and to our happiness.
