The Chiru of High Tibet is a true gripping story of how scientist George Schaller and four mountain men set out to save the chiru (antelope-like creatures who cannot survive captivity and who live on the high plains of Tibet) from near extinction. (from the publisher)

Well, the freezer's busted and making water instead of ice. So while I clean out the mess and wait for the repairman, here's an inspiring story about a guy who just can't stop making art. And he uses a lot of what other people throw away. Hmmm...sounds like writing.
Oh, sorry about the freezer. But thank you for the link to the wonderful story.
