Intended to help with basic queries or problems the guide covers equipment, work ethic and attitude, packing equipment and many other aspects of assisting and photography.

A charmingly written and illustrated book about a little girl whose family moves to the city and her struggle to fit in and adjust. When she makes a deal with her mother to try smiling, she learns the key to making new friends.

This book is inspired by a blog I wrote while my husband and I were fostering a mother dog and her litter of seven puppies. At the time they came into our home, the pups were merely three weeks old. By the time the final two left, our two week temporary foster had turned into three months.We didn't really know what we were getting into when we started, which resulted in many lessons learned - both good and bad. But we also had a lot of fun. I hope this book helps inspire people to foster animals, but with their eyes open and their butts covered!

Charles Morris Cobb grew up in the 1850s on a road he called Rum Street, a hardscrabble hill farm community just two miles but worlds away from the prosperous village of Woodstock, Vermont. For 13 years he recorded the stories of his neighborhood in such detail that he considered "it as useless labor to play a game of cards, unless I keep a record of the proceedings." He described himself ... "In my old coat over t'other, hair a foot long, face and hands unwashed six weeks and tanned like thunder, I do look bad enough to scare crows" ... along with the opinions, work, avocations, spiritual life and struggles of a group of people whose story is seldom told. This is a sensitive teenage boy's own tale of his troubled community, the failure of his father's farm and his successful pursuit of life as a New England musician in the second half of the 19th century.

She wakes up three years later, flesh burned off and grafted back on, surrounded by strangers and suddenly part of a much larger mission. Together with Anastasia Yukishnov, the doctor who healed her, Elizabeth and her ensemble cast of lovable and loathable rogues uncover things much more sinister, much more compelling, than the mere trinkets she has spent her life hunting. Love, loss, loneliness and ray guns all feature against the beautiful, bloodstained backdrop of space.

FROM THE COMFORTS of growing up on New York's Upper West Side, to the terrors of bombing missions over Europe in World War II, to the cerebral duelsof private law practice in Washington, D.C., "Incidents in a Life" recounts an extraordinary passage. This life has been unique in its range of experience, its heights of achievement and its very longevity. In these essays and anecdotes, Mark Pascal Schlefer remembers pinnacle events, some private and others of international impact. His defiance of the US Maritime Commission led to the Freedom of Information Act, a law that would be copied in every state and bring public scrutiny to governments in ninety-three foreign nations. Told vividly, with brevity and clarity, these recollections reveal many seminal moments and landmark movements of 20th-century America.

Is God truly a God of providence orchestrating people and events for his eternal purposes? Does the Creator of the Universe actually concern himself with the intimate details of our everyday existence? These questions are answered through the lives of four ordinary individuals born into the obscurity of a dusty and poverty-stricken part of the world long dominated by malevolent spirits. In the beginning they have some small familiarity of God's dealings with mankind, but it is what they learn through the fires of unimaginable suffering that transforms them into humble giants of the faith who dare to impact their world for Christ. Why them, you might ask? Why would God choose such unlikely candidates to accomplish his purposes? Perhaps it is because he saw the longing in their hearts for someone to rescue them, someone to give them a hope and a future. Perhaps it is because he knew they would not count the heavy cost to carry the good news of Jesus Christ to those who had never heard his name. Chance encounters with strangers become divine appointments even as unlikely prophetic voices yield clues to the future. Even though God's hand is often disguised through the words and actions of others, he nevertheless leads Given, Melina, Lilian and Vailet into a greater adventure than they could have envisioned for themselves. As famed writer and theologian, Frederick Buechner says, our best dreams and truest prayers come from the Kingdom of God. "We glimpse it at those moments when we find ourselves being better than we are and wiser than we know. We catch sight of it when at some moment of crisis a strength seems to come to us that is greater than our own strength." My book, The Road to Kondoa: An Unexpected Journey with God, tells the stories of four people who manage to latch onto that strength that is far greater than their own. Their lives reveal how God uses even the most tangled threads and knots of disadvantaged lives to weave a beautifully designed tapestry.
