images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.

The Tucson Tragedy: Lessons from the Senseless Shooting of
Gabrielle Giffords - by John Newport, Ph.D. This is a fast reading,
riveting book that portrays the human side of the January 8, 2011
shooting of Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords and 18 others - and
the healing that is taking place. Written by a seasoned author
living in Tucson a few blocks from the site of the shooting, The
Tucson Tragedy takes readers right to the scene and into the hearts
and minds of the victims and their families, the heroes, the
suspected assailant and everyone else impacted by this
heart-wrenching tragedy. Without politicizing or sensationalizing
the event and its far-reaching ramifications, this book renders a
soul-searching treatment of the underlying dynamics and lessons to
be learned from this ghastly event. The Tucson Tragedy is obviously
best seller material, given the virtually unprecedented level of
public interest aroused by this historic event. Chapter Outline: A

What happens when a man leaves home for a year to pursue his dream?
One day, playing a particularly spectacular round of golf, husband and father John Paul Newport suddenly tastes what it?s like to be a pro. Deciding to take a year off and hit the road playing golf's mini-tour circuit, Newport embarks on a wild trip through America's fairways. Over the course of his journey inside the somewhat shady, often hilarious underbelly of professional golf, he uncovers a world of people so totally addicted to golf, to the delusion of achievable perfection, that they sacrifice everything else to the quest. He also discovers the nature of his own obsession with the game, and how this constant pursuit of perfection on the golf course reflects the same challenges and frustrations one encounters in life. What does it take to master such an intricate, unpredictable game? In golf, as in life, why is one so consistently incapable of acting up to one's clearly established potential?
As Newport struggles to cross that Fine Green Line--the infinitely subtle yet critical difference between the top golf professionals and those who never quite make it--he realizes that life, like golf, doesn't let you get away with anything. This is a story about letting go of fear, facing challenges, and embracing risks--a compelling personal journey that captures many of the frustrations and elations of midlife both on and off the course.
