This book was written for the sole purpose of encouraging every institutionalized person to write their own work of literature for self-publication. The men and women that are institutionalized want to work and earn a living. If the country legislators need ideas about lowering the recidivism rate, this book represents what could be the first step. One day at a time and one page a night. One page today and one page tomorrow. Thirty pages this month then thirty pages next month. After twelve months you've got what's in your hands today! It's full of ideas for people who feel that they just don't have any place to turn. In this book, you'll find that all that is required to be successful is the energy to have and believe in your thoughts and ideas.  This book is the first manuscript I have brought to publication and I'm working on a few more to bring to print. The courage to write was born in the guilt of not having a formal education and a discipline of reading for many hours every day. This conditioning was instilled in me by older, wiser men who will never be released from prison or have a significant amount of time remaining to serve. These men would listen to me talk about community service, starting companies, higher learning, and what I should've been doing in my community. So they instructed me to learn, and to master what I've learned I had to teach, and to teach something of substance I had to read, write, and study for a minimum of eight to ten hours every day.  As I went through these steps I came across a book entitled How to Write a Memoir, and that book was the idea seed that led me to produce this work.  There are many men institutionalized who have the desire to become an author, but the tedious work of getting the work to publication is a major hurdle for them. This book represents my lighthouse, a beacon of light to look toward for every institutionalized person that I told I would write back, support their efforts in rehabilitation or their efforts to financially support their families and themselves. And I'm proud to personally have the skill to transcribe this work into braille for my ex-students and visually impaired brothers.

<div>First comprehensive account of the mammals of the entire southeastern US The southeastern United States is home to a remarkable and diverse mammalian fauna that is a significant part of the region's rich natural heritage. Mammals of the Southeastern United States presents accounts of 137 species that currently or previously occurred in the Southeast. Although accessible and useful for the generalist, this book provides an up-to-date compilation of basic knowledge about native and nonnative mammals of the region that is suitable for students of all ages and for professional mammalogists and biologists alike. &nbsp; This volume profiles common species like the eastern gray squirrel, the white-tailed deer, and the Virginia opossum, but also includes among its accounts many extant species, such as the jaguar and porcupine, that once occurred in the region; native species, like the Caribbean monk seal, that are now extinct; native species that have been extirpated, or wiped out, from all or part of the region, such as the red wolf, cougar, American bison, and elk; and many introduced species, including the Mexican mouse opossum, common squirrel monkey, and capybara. &nbsp; Each species account includes full-color images of the animal, plates featuring at least three views of its skull, color distribution maps of its approximate geographic range in the Southeast and in North America, and an up-to-date synthesis of several aspects of its biology, including habitat, diet, predators, parasites, diseases, and behaviors. An introductory chapter on conservation summarizes the current status of mammalian populations in the region and provides insight into some of the threats mammals now encounter in the Southeast. &nbsp;</div>
