Produktbeschreibung

True inspiration from a true inspiration

"...vibrant and instructional ... fresh, original and devoid of the usual sound bites and transatlantic psychobabble of many books of this genre..."
--The Independent on Sunday

It's not always easy to embrace life, to get up and go, to follow your dreams and make things happen... imagine how much more difficult it must be to achieve your dreams after suffering from cancer as a teenager and losing your leg. But that's exactly what Marc Woods did. Marc overcame his challenges and went on to become a four times Paralympic Gold medalist. It's that determination and dedication that Marc shares with us in this powerful book. His inspiring story is the motivation we all need to start being the best we can be. This fully updated Second Edition includes a new chapter on Resilience.

Autorenporträt

Photojournalist Moses Woods takes you on a photograpic journey covering the impact Breonna Taylor's death had on Louisville, Kentucky. There were very intense moments with sounds ricocheting off the buildings like bombs exploding as armoured trucks fired tear gas to disperse the crowds. People screamed and were choking as they ran from police who fired tear gas and pepper balls into the crowd. Fires were set, windows were shattered, and the Hall of Justice was under attack as helicopters and police drones hovered over downtown Louisville. He included photos of Breonna Taylor's 1 yr. anniversary celebration as well.
