The (big) year that flew by : twelve months, six continents, and the ultimate birding record / by Dwarshuis, Arjan,1986-author.(CARDINAL)865908; Vanbrabant, Els,translator.(CARDINAL)858416; Obmascik, Mark,writer of foreward.(CARDINAL)701794;
Includes bibliographical references."An epic tale of one passionate birder's record-breaking adventure through 40 countries over 6 continents - in just one year - to see over 7,000 bird species, rare and common, before many go extinct. When Arjan Dwarshuis first heard of the "Big Year" - the legendary record for birdwatching - he was twenty years old, it was midnight, and he was sitting on the roof of a truck in the Andean Mountains. In that moment he promised himself that, someday, somehow, he would become a world-record-holding birder. Ten years later, he embarked on an incredible, arduous, and perilous journey that took him around the globe; over uninhabited islands, through dense unforgiving rainforests, across snowy mountain peaks and unrelenting deserts - in just a single year. Would he survive? Would he be able to break the "Big Year" record, navigating through a world filled with shifting climate and geopolitical challenges? The (Big) Year that Flew By is an unforgettable, personal exploration of the limits of human potential when engaging with the natural world. It is a book about birds and birding and Arjan's attempts to raise awareness for critically endangered species, but it is also a book about overcoming mental challenges, extreme physical danger, and human competition and fully realizing your passions through nature, adventure, and conservation"--

In the cradle of storms : the epic story of one diary, two soldiers, and the forgotten battle of WWII / by Obmascik, Mark,author.(CARDINAL)701794;
Includes bibliographical references (233-4).Delivery -- Love -- Homeland -- Isolation -- Conscripted -- Trapped -- Escape -- Pearl -- Conquered -- Heartsick -- Attu -- Quagmire -- Sunday -- Come On, Let's Go! -- Bushido -- Fog -- News -- Fury -- Joy and Laura -- Home -- Quest -- Deliverance -- Return."From a bestselling author, the heartbreaking, redemptive story of two World War II soldiers whose fateful encounter in the Forgotten War of Alaska has fascinated Americans for decades. In researching his bestselling book The Big Year, Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Mark Obmascik rediscovered a long-lost document from World War II: the diary of a Japanese surgeon, recovered from his body by the soldier who killed him. In the Cradle of Storms reveals the layered and moving story of two men bound together by a nineteen-page diary--and how its words eventually captivated American troops and changed our war-torn society. Written as one desperate man's final testament, Paul Nobuo Tatsuguchi's journal revealed the medic's studies in America and his love for the US. It sent shock waves through American troops of the 1940s, shattering racist preconceptions and opening eyes to the common humanity of soldiers on both sides of the battle lines. Years later, it sent Laura Tatsuguchi Davis, the dead medic's daughter, on an intense search for the truth behind her father's life and legacy. And it drove Dick Laird--the sergeant who found the diary--to undertake a forty-year quest on two continents to find Laura, whose kindness and forgiveness offered redemption for his own tortured soul. With journalistic acumen, sensitivity, and unmatched narrative skills, Obmascik tells the unforgettable true story of a horrific battle on a barren Alaskan island, two families struggling for peace, and the unlikely road to forgiveness"--
