Book Description
A unique account of the amazing Thai cave rescue told in a heart-racing, you-are-there style that blends suspense, science, and cultural insight. On June 23, 2018, twelve young players of the Wild Boars soccer team and their coach enter a cave in northern Thailand seeking an afternoon’s adventure. But when they turn to leave, rising floodwaters block their path out. The boys are trapped! Before long, news of the missing team spreads, launching a seventeen-day rescue operation involving thousands of rescuers from around the globe. As the world sits vigil, people begin to wonder: how long can a group of ordinary kids survive in complete darkness, with no food or clean water? Luckily, the Wild Boars are a very extraordinary "ordinary" group. Combining firsthand interviews of rescue workers with in-depth science and details of the region's culture and religion, author Christina Soontornvat—who was visiting family in Northern Thailand when the Wild Boars went missing—masterfully shows how both the complex engineering operation above ground and the mental struggles of the thirteen young people below proved critical in the life-or-death mission. Meticulously researched and generously illustrated with photographs, this page-turner includes an author’s note describing her experience meeting the team, detailed source notes, and a bibliography to fully immerse readers in the most ambitious cave rescue in history.

Book Description
Born to an Ontario farm family in the post-war baby boom, Wayne Baker was an original from the get-go. Already a fluent reader of Treasure Island and many other books by the time he started school, he was soon bored in his one-room classroom, excelling each year despite increasingly erratic attendance. High school and university careers would follow a similar pattern of high achievement coupled with a skeptical attitude, a fondness for practical jokes and sports, a willingness to play the system and unwillingness to suffer fools (or rules) gladly. All About a Man Who Says Nothing and Does Nothing is part one of Mr. Baker's memoirs, taking readers from his earliest memories and school career, through his emigration to Australia as a young newlywed and new-minted teacher and his years teaching and travelling there. But with a family history of difficult relationships, alcoholism and mental illness, life is not all clear sailing. Mr. Baker also has to deal with personal conflicts, a bizarre drug dealing accusation and his own use of booze (finally giving up alcohol altogether). Along the way readers are treated to the musings, deadpan humour and frank opinions of an incisive and outspoken observer and critic of Life....
