Описание книги

INSIDE THE RAINBOW by Sandy Sinclair, Alaskan bush teacher<br><br>Not just memoirs of an ol&#39; teacher but the author deals with how the events of the past may be connected to our current life.<br><br>Beside the Alaska adventures there are some significant points made throughout the book:<br><br>&#165;There is a word for word interview with OSAMA bin LADEN as repeated from this author&#39;s contact with Peter Bergen of CNN, the only western journalist ever to personally talk with the jihadist in his cave back in 1997. This clearly explains the nature of our current conflict.<br><br>&#165;Rosa Parks not going to the back of the bus affected America.<br><br>&#165;Passengers of flight 93 had the foresight to sacrifice themselves for preservation of their fellow Americans in Washington DC, targeted by the hijackers of that flight.<br><br>&#165;The Sec. of State stood against a belligerent congress in1867 to purchase Alaska from Russia proving the &quot;collective wisdom&quot; of our congress is often totally wrong.<br><br>&#165;JFK challenged us to do the impossible (go to the moon). This success gave us confidence to attempt other &quot;impossibles&quot;.<br><br>&#165;Our total dependence on modern technical devises may be a big gain . But let us evaluate what we have lost in doing so.<br><br>&#165;There are productive ways for us all to deal with the national tragedy of Sept 11th 2001.

Отрывок из книги

I am neither an explorer nor an author of note but I am an Alaskan bush teacher who wants to pass on the wisdom learned from years in the wilderness, while it is still useable knowledge. The National Park Service has stated that this generation will be the last to know true wilderness.

Any writer, who has aspirations that his efforts might become lasting, should include how issues and conflicts of the time have affected his story. Because of that, my writing style is not of a popular norm. I am hoping INSIDE THE RAINBOW will be a work set apart.

Nov.1st Today didn't go so good. Kids were really noisy and I was in an awful mood and I said something to make Merle cry. How long can this go on? Each day gets worse. If he doesn't get well and come back soon I'll go crazy. Can't stand the nights, even with the girls here. Nothing I do keeps me from worrying about my husband. When he left during that stormy night, his condition was life threatening. I haven’t heard anything since! Is he still alive?

Nov 4th Went for a walk to the point. The mountains were beautiful all covered with snow and the sun shining on them. Stayed out at the point awhile, watching the water and mountains. Nature is beautiful but I've never been so lonesome in my life! This is a serious village epidemic. Kristin and Martha stayed with me tonight. I'd like to stay alone but am afraid to. Never know what the drunk men may do! If only I would hear some news from Sandy. I've been knitting to keep my mind off the situation..
