From the Prairie to the Pacific is the story of one man's journey from rural North Dakota to the cockpits of U.S. Navy jet fighters and ultimately Captain of a flagship aircraft carrier. Gil Rud flew combat missions over Vietnam in A-7 Corsair II aircraft before taking command of his own squadron. His success as a Naval aviator led to the ultimate reward – "Boss" of the world-famous Blue Angels aerobatic display team, overseeing their successful transition to the F/A-18 Hornet. Gil Rud reflects on his experiences and emotions as a husband and father as well as a pilot and an "officer and a gentleman." His stories of triumph and tragedy, from nights on the flight deck to nights on the town and the loss of close friends, reveal deep feelings, great insight and a wonderful sense of humor, as well as meticulous attention to detail.

Donnie L Cochran himself calls his story unbelievable. As he remarks in his new self-help guide, Glad to Be Here, he was the last person in the world to believe that a little kid from rural southwest Georgia, a struggling student, could grow up to be a member of the famous Blue Angels. But he did it. Cochran attributes his success to the ACE system-attitude, character, and enthusiasm-which he details in this interactive handbook, offering worksheets and questions to help readers understand their hopes, goals, and values. Always stressing positive engagement and actions, Cochran presents nine solid strategies, gleaned from his own personal experience, for overcoming obstacles and gaining the right mentality for success. Colorful examples from the military show everyone, leaders, team members, and individuals alike, how to achieve both small and large goals with perseverance and determination. Words of wisdom from a variety of sources accompany the step-by-step guide, providing inspirational lessons and advice. Cochran got to live his ultimate dream as a member of the Blue Angels.

Thorough, detailed, and scientifically up-to-date, Prairies: A Natural History provides a comprehensive nontechnical guide to the biology and ecology of the prairies, or the Great Plains grasslands of North America, offering a view of the past, a vision for the future, and a clear focus on the present. With a total area of more than 3.5 million square kilometers (500,000 in Canada and the remainder in the United States), the prairies occupy the heartland of the continent, a vast, windswept plain that flows from Alberta south to Texas and from the Rockies east to the Mississippi River. This is big sky country—the largest ecosystem in North America and, until recently, one of the richest and most magnificent natural grasslands in the world. Today, however, the North American prairies are among the most altered environments on Earth.

June grass at sunset, Indian grass at sunrise, hawk moths and monarch butterflies nectaring on purple fringed orchids and rough blazing star, little bluestem and saw-tooth sunflowers and butterfly milkweed in hill prairies and sand prairies, and blue skies and one bright rainbow arching over them all. Bill Witt has been photographing Iowa's wild places for more than thirty years, and the result is this collection of splendid images that reveal the glorious beauty and diversity of the state's prairie remnants. Witt gives us close-ups of pasque flower shoots covered with ice in spring, coneflowers dancing in a summer breeze, and prairie dropseed in its autumn colors as well as such prairie companions as sandhill cranes, northern harriers, and bison. His panoramic visions of prairie landscapes in all seasons focus on the personal pleasure and spiritual sustenance that connecting with prairies, even small and neglected ones, can bring us. Osha Davidson's essay compares today's prairie remnants with yesterday's expanses and calls for us to restore balance to this damaged landscape. Altogether, Enchanted by Prairie celebrates today's prairie landscape and encourages us, in Davidson's words, to restore its "beauty and scents and textures and sounds."
