Bookshelf "Mountains Beyond Mountains" by Tracy Kidder is an account of how one man, Dr. Paul Farmer, can make a difference in solving a global health problem that strikes the world's poorest (Tuberculosis) through an appreciation for the politics of wealth, social systems and a commitment to his vision that, "... the only real nation is humanity." "They marched into sunlight: war and peace, Vietnam and America, October 1967" by David Maraniss. This is the epic story of Vietnam as told through the events of the passionate days of October 1967. The book rekindles questions about dissent and the official manipulation of truth, issues as relevant today as they were almost 40 years ago. "Running with Scissors: a memoir" by Augusten Burroughs. This is a true story about a boy whose mother gave him away to be raised by her unorthodox psychiatrist. His is a story of an outlaw childhood where rules where unheard of and his survival under extraordinary circumstances. "Big Russ and Me" by Tim Russert. Mr. Russert reflects upon his father's influence growing up in South Buffalo with chapters dedicated to topics such as respect, work, faith, baseball discipline. "Undaunted Courage" by Steven Ambrose. This is, probably, the most definitive book on Lewis and Clark's mission up the Missouri River to the Rockies, over mountains, down the Columbia River to the Pacific Ocean and then back. "The Cows are Out! Two decades on a Maine Dairy Farm" by Trudy Chambers Price. In 1966 Ms. Price and her husband purchase a 150-acre dairy farm in Waldo County then set about raising a family and growing a business amid incredible odds. "Young Men and Fire" by Norman Maclean. On August 5, 1949, a crew of fifteen of the U.S. Forest Service's elite airborne firefighters (smokejumpers) stepped into the sky above a remote forest fire in the Montana wilderness. Less than an hour later all but three were dead or mortally wounded. Norman Maclean assembles the scatted pieces of the Mann Gulch tragedy. "The World is Flat: A brief history of the twenty-first century" by Thomas Friedman. Mr. Friedman argues that the most defining event of the twenty first century may not have been 9/11 but rather the convergence of technology that allowed India and China to become part of the global economy. He explains how nations must adapt to a "flattening" of the globe.
