The key to great story telling is a good ear. All the best storytellers have it: an ability to hear a story where others only hear a narrative. Dennis King has it in spades, and that is what comes through loud and clear in this very personal collection of stories from his hometown of Georgetown, PEI, CANADA. Dennis hears "the story" in every neighbor's voice and in every quirky, funny, and touchingly poignant incident, that illustrates the everyday life of a small town. Their stories are all here...told with a love and respect and an understanding that can only come from having been an intimate part of it all. Dennis' pride of place comes shining through, and in almost every story, the hero is Georgetown. If you love the stories of Stephen Leacock, Garrison Keillor, or Stuart McLean, you'll love the stories of Dennis King.

The Day They Shot Reveen

REFUSE TO BE ORDINARY takes the reader inside the locker room, inside the huddle of final timeouts, inside the American classroom, and inside the head of a veteran English teacher who was inspired by the unique young men and women he taught and coached. Coach Dennis King combines a life-time of observation, reflection, and personal stories of inspiration to reveal an intense slice of high school basketball never before documented with such a specific lens. A champion is an athlete infected by a dream whose passion, discipline, competitiveness, poise, pride, humility, character, confidence, and courage separate him or her from the ranks of the ordinary. The author of REFUSE TO BE ORDINARY is not a celebrity coach who has written a book trying to cash in on a fleeting national championship. Hes a blue-collar teacher/coach whose entire career has been spent in the trenches of public education devoted to the grassroots mission of helping young people reach their full potential. 10 CHAMPIONSHIP TRAITS DREAMS - Champions dream in high definition. PASSION Champions self-ignite. COMPETITIVENESS Champions crave challenges. DISCIPLINE - Champions embrace repetition, habit and sacrifice. POISE Champions relax. PRIDE Champions care. HUMILITY Champions show gratitude. CONFIDENCE- Champions visualize victory. CHARACTER Champions make right choices. COURAGE Champions conquer fear.

Refuse to Be Ordinary

Monitor lizards (genus Varanus) have attracted a great deal of interest--these large and impressive lizards are often the centerpiece of reptile house exhibits. Monitors tend to be fairly wary and difficult to observe--therefore they are not particularly tractable research subjects, but they have nevertheless received an extraordinary amount of attention from devoted students.Varanoid Lizards of the World is a comprehensive account of virtually everything important that is known about monitor lizards, beginning with detailed species accounts and proceeding to various modern comparative analyses. Where possible, people who have had detailed field experience with a particular species have assembled species accounts. In the process of reporting what is known, we also identify what remains to be learned about these lizards. We hope to establish a prototype showing how such a diverse monophyletic group can be exploited both to identify and to understand the actual course of evolution. As such, this effort becomes a protocol for future workers to follow for other groups of closely-related species.
