Living with wolves has provided Tracy with countless experiences that have changed her life in unimaginable ways. As a cofounder of Mission: Wolf, a wolf sanctuary in Colorado, Tracy has spent half her life studying wolf behavior and body language. Tracy has learned to leash train and walk wolves, often with painful consequences. Join Tracy as she develops a special bond with an intense British Columbian gray wolf named Shaman. Shaman becomes a great wolf teacher, and eventually the shy wolf grows to trust her. Tracy relies on her instinct and intuition as she moves to calm sensitive wolves like Shaman. She does well but believes in her heart that she can do better. A horse named Ikus comes into Tracy’s life and dramatically changes her understanding of horse-to-person communication. Driven to find her own way to connect with horses, Ikus becomes a professor in nature’s university as Tracy embarks on a journey of learning to speak horse language. Something profound happens when Ikus, a horse with an attitude and a dislike of being haltered, gives Tracy an unexpected lesson in resolving feral behavior. Not only does Ikus teach Tracy how to stop his run-away glitch but Tracy discovers a missing link in her previous wolf-handling life that will forever change her approach to resolving feral behavioral problems in both species. This experience ultimately provides Tracy with a foundation for clear communication, and it awakens in her an effective and natural way to connect with animals. Tracy’s world of wolves and horses is forever inspired as she moves to a new level of connection beyond anything she believed possible, and she strives to share what she has learned. Sally, a young woman from the UK, comes to volunteer at the sanctuary and learns to calm a very frightened eighteen-year-old horse who is going blind and in danger of injuring himself.

Violence and Personhood in Ancient Israel and Comparative Contexts

Violence and Personhood in Ancient Israel and Comparative Contexts

By: Tracy Maria Lemos

Violence and Personhood in Ancient Israel and Comparative Contexts is the first book-length work on personhood in ancient Israel. T. M. Lemos reveals widespread intersections between violence and personhood in both this society and the wider region. Relations of domination and subordination were incredibly important to the culture and social organization of ancient Israel, with these relations often determining the boundaries of personhood itself. Personhood was malleable--it could be and was violently erased in many social contexts. This study exposes a violence-personhood-masculinity nexus in which domination allowed those in control to animalize and brutalize the bodies of subordinates. Lemos also argues that in particular social contexts in the contemporary "western" world, this same nexus operates, holding devastating consequences for marginalized social groups.

Historic Yosemite National Park

The Stories Behind One of America's Great Treasures

By: Tracy Salcedo

The history of Yosemite National Park is as compelling as the waterfalls, monoliths, and peaks that have mesmerized visitors for more than a century. But what hikers see today in the iconic Yosemite Valley, as well as on the peaks in the high country and within the Mariposa Grove of Big Trees, is a world away from the place Native Americans once called Ahwahnee, and from what gold-seekers and mountain men looked upon in the park’s earliest days. Historic Yosemite National Park is a vibrant collection of stories about different aspects of Yosemite National Park’s fascinating history, from the conservation works of pivotal characters such as writer John Muir and photographer Ansel Adams to the daring exploits of rock climbers and the natural forces that have shaped Yosemite’s stunning vistas. These stories reveal why Yosemite National Park has inspired humankind for centuries.

Role of a Lifetime: Larry Farmer and the UCLA Bruins

By: Larry Farmer,Tracy Dodds

Role of a Lifetime is the story of the crucial role Larry Farmer played on teams that won three NCAA titles for UCLA under Coach John Wooden. Farmer’s record at UCLA was 89–1, the greatest winning percentage in NCAA history. (Kareem Abdul-Jabbar was 88–2.) Role of a Lifetime also details how Farmer, a self-taught player from the playgrounds of Denver, managed to secure a full scholarship, make the varsity team as a sophomore, and ultimately become the head basketball coach at UCLA at the age of 30—the first black head coach for any sport at UCLA. The book chronicles the reactions of black leaders to his role as the first black head coach, as well as the inside politics that led him to resign after three years as coach, just days after accepting a two-year extension. Farmer also shares new insights about UCLA athletic booster Sam Gilbert and his role in the team’s NCAA probation. Farmer’s insider perspective during UCLA basketball’s most fabled period, combined with his natural ability to relate entertaining and informative anecdotes about legendary figures such as John Wooden, Bill Walton, Jamaal Wilkes, Reggie Miller, and many other famous players and coaches from throughout the world of college basketball, makes Role of a Lifetime a must-have for all Bruin fans and fans of basketball everywhere!

Samantha Smith: the Girl Who Dreamed of Peace

By: Tracy Lynn Meyers

In November of 1982, ten-year-old Samantha Smith of Manchester, Maine was terrified by the idea of nuclear war. Following her mother's suggestion, the fifth-grader wrote a one page letter to Yuri Andropov, the newly-appointed leader of the Soviet Union, pleading for peace between their two countries. What happened next was straight out of a fairy tale. After excerpts from Samantha's letter were published in a communist newspaper, the small-town girl who loved animals and softball became a famous international figure and promoter of world peace, appearing in newspapers and on talk shows, and receiving thousands of letters from around the world. At the invitation of Andropov, Samantha and her parents spent two weeks during the summer of 1983 touring the Soviet Union, and were followed by reporters and cameras every step of the way. Samantha Smith, with her big blue eyes and dimpled grin, soon became America's sweetheart and a friend to the Soviets as she toured Lenin's tomb, attended the Moscow Circus, and enjoyed swimming and singing at Camp Artek. Samantha returned home to a hero's welcome complete with a parade, but just when her life was getting back to normal, Samantha found herself in the spotlight once again. First, the globetrotting young girl was a special guest speaker at a peace symposium in Kobe, Japan, and then she became the host of her own Disney Channel television special in which she travelled to Washington D.C. to interview Democratic presidential candidates. Before starting seventh grade, Samantha was offered the chance to audition for a weekly tv series, and won the role of Robert Wagner's daughter on a new television show called Lime Street. In August of 1985, 13-year-old Samantha and her father Arthur were flying home during a break in filming when their plane suddenly crashed less than a mile from the airport, instantly killing everyone on board. The entire world mourned the loss of Samantha Smith, the "littlest diplomat." Samantha's mother Jane formed the Samantha Smith Foundation in order to carry on her daughter's legacy. Many tributes have been made in both the Soviet Union and the United States to honor the memory of Samantha Smith, including a mountain peak, a bronze statue, a rare diamond, a postage stamp, and even an elementary school. The summer of 2018 will mark the 35th anniversary of Samantha's historic trip.
