Perseverance : the seven skills you need to survive, thrive and accomplish more than you ever imagined / by Hague, Tim,author.;
"An inspiring story of beating the odds and learning to overcome -- no matter what life hands you. After starting a family and flourishing in his career, Tim Hague was struck by misfortune. The irritating tremor in his foot turned out to be early onset Parkinson's disease. He was only 46 years old. But what seemed to be an end became a new beginning. Just three years later, Hague won the inaugural The Amazing Race Canada (with his son, Tim Jr., as his teammate). His remarkable life story shows that perseverance is not just a matter of willpower: it is a skill that can be learned and honed. And perseverance is the theme of his life. From the day he was born, Hague has gone from one struggle to another. Yet, remarkably, he doesn't have a trace of self-pity. In fact, he feels blessed. From his tough start in life as an unwanted mixed-race baby born in Texas in 1964, to his eventual move to the unforgiving climate of Winnipeg, Canada, to start a family under difficult circumstances, and his continuing battle with Parkinson's -- Hague's life is a roadmap of perseverance"--

The 143-story treehouse / by Griffiths, Andy,1961-; Denton, Terry.; Griffiths, Andy,1961-143-storey treehouse.;
"Andy and Terry live in a 143-story treehouse. (It used to be a 130-story treehouse, but they built another thirteen stories.) Andy's been a bit stressed out lately, so Terry decides the perfect way to relax would be to head up to their new camping ground level for a much-needed vacation. But it turns out to be not quite as relaxing as planned. Terry forgets to pack the tent and the food, their attempt at fishing ends in disaster, the spooky campfire stories are a little too spooky and then, to make matters worse, all of Andy's fellow campers start mysteriously disappearing. Can Andy brave the dark, dark woods and rescue them in time to finish writing their next book?"--From publisher.LSC

Bring the magic home : an exploration of design inspired by Disney parks / by Chanel, Sunny,author.; Eckstein, Ashley,1981-writer of introduction.;
Includes bibliographical references."For Disney dreamers and doers alike, this inspirational book, is a practical how-to guide to infuse your personal spaces with wonder and whimsy! Disney theme parks are immersive environments -- part living museum, part botanical garden, and part interactive art exhibition. Most of all, they're places to find inspiration to enhance everyday life. Sprinkled throughout these parks are visual cues and vignettes with ingenious ideas. Sparks of design brilliance are everywhere. From the way the edible landscaping is arranged in Tomorrowland to the use of ornate Victorian wallpaper in the foyer of the Haunted Mansion, there are so many ways to bring the magic home. As mix of Disney history, interior design, garden design, and DIY project studies, this visually detailed coffee table book charts how to infuse your personal spaces with the wonder and whimsy found at Disneyland and Walt Disney World. It also looks at those who created the elements that serve as our muse: Walt Disney Imagineers -- both past and present -- who mostly work discreetly behind the scenes, shrouded in mystery. In this peek behind the curtain, find out more about their special brand of magic"--
