But the feisty little girl blossoms into a woman of extraordinary character, who confronts hardship and tragedy - as well as great happiness - with steadfast courage and the determination to keep her family together, against all the odds.

Random Memories
These are the memoirs of Samuel J. Raff. He was a great observer of life, a great participant in life, and a man who slept with Jacques Cousteau's wife. He worked for The Naval Ordnance Lab and The National Science Foundation, and wrote obituaries for The Bronx Home News. He founded Raff Associates, The Bethesda Corporation, and was the founding editor of The International Journal of Computers & Operations Research. He was a brilliant man with an inquiring mind, a jack of all trades and a master of quite a few. He was a generous man with a sense of humor, whose many kindnesses will be felt for generations to come. This is all reflected to some degree in his reminiscenses here.

Everything You Need to Know about Birding and Backyard Bird Attraction by Alan Pistorius, ISBN 0395892740
With equal measures of wit, scientific wisdom, and homespun common sense, Alan Pistorius makes his lifelong love of birds come alive for anyone who wants to take up birding as a hobby or merely gain more pleasure from the birds around the home, cottage, or camp. With diagrams, illustrations, and full-color photographs throughout, this is a completely revised and updated version of Pistorius's popular Country Journal Book of Birding and Bird Attraction. The author advises readers on how to make their back yards havens for local birds, what constitutes proper food for birds, what to look for in well-designed feeders, how to build appropriate houses, and how to make baths that birds will actually use. Pistorius's style is lighthearted and humorous, and he's never averse to directing a little gentle humor at the foibles of fellow devotees when they begin to take themselves and their hobby too seriously.
