Описание: This is NOT a "How To" hunting guide. There is NO expert advice on hunting strategies or techniques. That is left to the experts. However, it is about hunting and is based on over 60 years experience in the unsuccessful pursuit of the ever elusive 10 pointer. This book tries to describe what is actually traveling through the mind of the average hunter as he tries to remain stock still while silently sitting in total darkness waiting for the sun to rise in the morning or waiting for the sun to set in the afternoon. He can't move. But his mind is free to wander wherever it pleases, and it often does as he drifts off to places far from where he actually is. There is no doubt that "expert" hunters possess the ability to remain totally focused throughout the entire waiting period. Most of us don't. This book also offers an unusual perspective of the hunt and hunter from the point of view of the "Elusive 10 Pointer."
It's 1936, and against all odds--but not without a few stumbles--Ginny Ross has made it to Purdue University in West Lafayette, Indiana. (Otherwise known as the academic home of her friend and mentor, Amelia Earhart.) For Ginny, this is the next step toward her dream of becoming a pilot, but it's harder than she expected: as the only girl in her mechanical engineering program, she constantly has to prove she deserves to be there. Ginny is determined not to let the jeers of her classmates and the opinions of some backwards-thinking professors hold her back, but she is a world away from her home in Harbour Grace, Newfoundland.
When Amelia takes off in 1937 to fly around the globe, Ginny can't shake a feeling of foreboding. Aviation is still relatively new and communication between air and ground is patchy at best. Then Amelia disappears without a trace, and Ginny must figure out if she has what it takes to forge ahead without her mentor. With the threat of the Second World War looming large, Ginny will need every bit of salty east coast grit she can muster.
Featuring historical photos of Amelia's time at Purdue University (1935-37), this STEM-friendly novel will appeal to anyone who has suffered from imposter syndrome and has had to prove their worth--to others and themselves.
