Ginger's Gift: Hope and Healing Through Dog Companionship

When Michelle Linn-Gust and her husband, Joe, brought Chaco, a charmingly neurotic mutt, to live with them, they didn t realize what they were getting into. Michelle had grown up in a close-knit dog-loving family, but owning a dog in her own home was a new experience. Not long after she and Joe became dog parents, Joe suffered a traumatic brain injury when a drunk driver crashed into his truck. Before long, the Linn-Gusts had four dogs, the maximum number allowed by the City of Albuquerque, and they couldn t seem to stop acquiring dogs. Whether Michelle was out running a road race or Joe was doing relief work following Hurricane Katrina, they opened their arms to just one more. With no room for more dogs at their house, they set to finding a dog for Michelle's mother in Chicago. What they didn t realize was that the yellow Labrador dog wouldn t ever meet Michelle's Dad, the one person against having a dog in the house. Suddenly, Ginger's importance in Michelle's mom's life would be more than anyone could explain. In Ginger's Gift, Michelle tells the story of their lives as dog owners and of the ways that dogs have helped her and Joe through the difficult passages that all humans must face.

Important messages

I think Fritjof Capra is making some very important observations in this book. Through his observations, the author states that Western Civilization is gradually approaching the climax of a major turning point in its evolution. He suggests that the cause of this is in our consciousness, a certain way we are seeing and understanding our experiences. This is leading to many of our present day environmental, social, political,...

Ditto Austin

This is a critical book in my collection of research; artifacts which contain clues for redefining the way we interact with each other and do business. I find it curious that many physicists I talk to denounce Capra's work. So be it. His message is not for them.While preparing an industry presentation to help a bunch of left-brained technologists think in right-brained terms, I relied heavily on Capra's work along with...

A brilliant and important book.

It's all here. Everything we ever needed to know to begin to change our world and ourselves. Totally brilliant. Many years in the making, this book covers a very wide spectrum of knowledge and is fascinating all the way through. Like The Tao of Physics, this book looks toward a world view that encompasses a balance of science and spirit. Capra is also not shy about deconstructing or critisizing popular economic and political...

All I can say about this book is "WOW"

I read this book after seeing the movie "MindWalk". That movie was so fascinating that I had to read the book that this movie is based on. This book really cover just about everything from religious/science/philosophy to politic/economy/social and then explain the relationship between all those. It did make me a better person by seeing the bigger picture of what we didn't recognize. It sure made me think more, question...

The Paradigm Shift

The book has an extremely broad sweep and tries to get to the very root of our crisis as a civilisation. Building his case from a very logical historical perspective that covers the very essence of our academic and intellectual foundations, Capra argues for a paradigm shift in order to bring about sustainable development. The book is not a mere superficial recipe for survival but provides a blueprint for excellence in the...
