At the height of World War I, history’s most lethal influenza virus erupted in an army camp in Kansas, moved east with American troops, then exploded, killing as many as 100 million people worldwide. It killed more people in twenty-four months than AIDS killed in twenty-four years, more in a year than the Black Death killed in a century. But this was not the Middle Ages, and 1918 marked the first collision of science and epidemic disease.

Justin doesn't know anything these days. Like how to walk down the halls without getting stared at. Or what to say to Jenni. Or how Phuc is already a physics genius in seventh grade.

Or if the North Stars have a shot at the playoffs. Justin doesn't know how people can act like everything's fine when it's so obviously not.

Cancer rates continue to skyrocket, and the overall survival rate for stage IV cancer patients in the United States is a grim 2.1 percent. Clearly, the extensive use of expensive - sometimes ineffective - toxins in conventional oncology protocols is a failing strategy. Even the few survivors of these harsh slash-and-burn treatments can have a dismal quality of life, suffering with ailments such as nerve damage, heart muscle disease, and liver and kidney failure.

Working class, blue-collar voters are staying home in droves instead of going to the polls to support Republicans. The reason? Despite their deeply conservative values, they don't think Republicans speak for them and their interests. In Blue Collar Conservatives, former presidential candidate Rick Santorum explains how we can reenergize the Republican base by showing these blue-collar Americans just how much Republican policies support their personal welfare and by making government the people's servant rather than the people's master.

Congratulations - you're successful! So why are you so unhappy? You've racked up achievements and strive every day to do your best, yet your energy and enthusiasm seem to have evaporated.

Back at dinner, somebody said that the goose thinks it’s a dog. No, it doesn’t. It doesn’t think it’s a dog. The goose doesn’t think. The goose just is. And what the goose is is goose. But goose is not goose, Robert thinks. Even the goose isn’t goose.

The world is shouting its answers to these questions, but the real answers are quieter—and right in front of you. They are in the details of your day, every day. But we usually look right past them. Or we are simply so distracted we've lost the ability to see and hear the life going on right in front of us. If we're not intentional about changing this trend, this "inattentional blindness" can rob us of years of joyful productivity. But when we learn to observe the details of our days, we discover new lenses through which to see and new practices of paying attention that add meaning to life.

The Hunter’s Way is Craig Raleigh's meditative and philosophical journey into the soul of a hunter. Divided into four parts that mirror the hunting experience - the background, the preparation, the hunt, and the harvest - it addresses the paradox of hunting as conservationism, ruminates on the failures and successes of hunting as sport and as a way of life, and reveals how hunting influences our society.
