The Progress Chaser

Beschreibung

Jon, a recent migrant to a homeland democracy joins the quality assurance unit of the Homeland News Agency (HONA) and is sent to a frontier settlement to assist his understanding of media principles. He views progress towards regenerating the bio-diversity of the land and sees that fences are required to exclude the locals whose pastoral culture caused the desertification. Jon observes the hostile locals and witnesses their attacks on the homeland people who must defend. Jon considers the principles of a free press and the community responsibilities that give legitimacy to that freedom: the support of democracy, freedom, justice and security within the law, and begins a relationship with the settlement Director, a forensic ethnologist. As the conflict between settlers and locals intensifies, readers join Jon in considering the limits of a community-responsible news media.

Autor

Best-selling author/photographer Bob Walker is the creator of the purr-sonal classics "The Cats' House" and "Cats into Everything," two books based on his unique home life with cats. After seven cat gift books, international reprints, and extensive worldwide media coverage, Bob is boldly going to the dogs with the visual narrative "A Lost Dog Finds Cat Paradise: Tails of Love and Mischief."Bob Walker and Frances Mooney's lives are literally an open book. In 1986, the couple transformed their home into a "feline paradise," building one hundred and forty feet of elevated cat highway that allowed their frisky felines to travel room-to-room overhead. Walker's award-winning photography fancifully captured the joy of their trendsetting playground, inspiring cat lovers with his best-selling books "The Cats' House" (1996), and "Cats into Everything" (1999). These books are widely credited as founding the "pet environmental enrichment movement"-a worldwide effort by animal lovers to provide solutions in homes and shelters for the physical and emotional needs of their pets.Walker's cat classics made their Cats' House a media magnet, globally attracting countless print and television crews, including People, The New York Times, The Washington Post, National Geographic Kids, Los Angeles Times, Animal Planet, HGTV, The Today Show, Inside Edition, National Enquirer, Ripley's-Believe It or Not!, and a feature profile in the critically-acclaimed documentary Home Movie.
