Thunder Dog
Summary
Faith. Trust. Triumph. "I trust Roselle with my life, every day. She trusts me to direct her. And today is no different, except the stakes are higher." &Michael Hingson First came the boom - the loud, deep, unapologetic bellow that seemed to erupt from the very core of the earth. Eerily, the majestic high-rise slowly leaned to the south. On the 78th floor of the World Trade Center’s north tower, no alarms sounded, and no one knew what had just happened at 8:46 a.m. that morning, September 11, 2001 - which should have been a normal workday for thousands of people. All that was known to the people inside was what they could see from the windows: smoke and fire and millions of pieces of burning paper and other debris falling through the air. Blind since birth, Michael couldn’t see a thing, but he could hear the sounds of shattering glass, falling debris, and terrified people flooding around him and his guide dog, Roselle. However, Roselle sat calmly beside him. In that moment, Michael chose to trust Roselle’s judgment and not to panic. They were a team. Thunder Dog allows you entry into the isolated, fume-filled chamber of stairwell B to experience survival through the eyes of a blind man and his beloved guide dog. Live each moment from the second a Boeing 767 hits the north tower, to the harrowing stairwell escape, to dodging death a second time as both towers collapse into the earth. It’s the 9/11 story that will forever change your spirit and your perspective. Thunder Dog illuminates Hingson’s lifelong determination to achieve parity in a sighted world, and how the rare trust between a man and his guide dog can inspire an unshakable faith in each one of us.

The Sky Below
Summary
An epic memoir from a man whose life is defined by exploration and innovation, The Sky Below re-creates some of the most unforgettable adventures of our time. From dramatic, high-risk spacewalks to author Scott Parazynski's death-defying quest to summit Mount Everest - his body ravaged by a career in space - listeners will experience the life of an elite athlete, physician, and explorer. This intimate, compelling account offers a rare portrait of space exploration from the inside. A global nomad raised in the shadow of NASA's Apollo missions, Parazynski never lost sight of his childhood dream to one day don a spacesuit and float outside the airlock. With deep passion, unbridled creativity, resilience, humility, and self-deprecation, Parazynski chases his dream of the ultimate adventure experience, again and again and again. In an era that transitioned from moon shots to the Space Shuttle, space station, and Mars research, Parazynski flies with John Glenn, tests jet packs, trains in Russia to become a cosmonaut, and flies five missions to outer space (including seven spacewalks) in his seventeen-year NASA career. An unparalleled, visceral opportunity to understand what it's like to train for - and deploy to - a home in zero gravity, The Sky Below also portrays an astronaut's engagement with the challenges of his life on Earth, including raising a beautiful autistic daughter and finding true love.

Thunder dog
Summary
Den elfte september 2001 kom att för alltid förändra hur världen ser ut. Bilder från det fruktansvärda terrorangreppet mot World Trade Center i New York strömmade ut i världen samtidigt som det pågick, men vad hände egentligen inne i byggnaden? Michael var blind sedan födseln och tillsammans med sin trogna ledarhund Roselle tog han sig genom vardagen. Den elfe september gick inget brandlarm. Det Michael däremot hörde var jättelika smällar som följdes av ljudet av krossat glas och skrik. Han såg inget, men han hörde. Tillsammans med Roselle tar sig Michael helskinnad genom det brinnande infernot. Detta är den spännande och otroliga berättelsen om en blind mans, och hans hunds, öde mitt i en av historiens mest tumultartade ögonblick... Michael Hingson är en amerikansk konsult och offentlig talare. Han har varit blind sedan födseln och upplevde attacken mot World Trade Center på mycket nära håll. Susy Flory är en amerikansk författare. Utöver sitt litterära skrivande har hon även en bakgrund som journalist.
