Back from the Brink is an antidote to a world that seems full of stories of wildlife doom & gloom Amongst all the loss of habitat & the animals & plants that are in spiraling decline it's easy to forget that there are a huge number of positive stories too; animals threatened with extinction such as the gigantic European Bisonextinct in the wildhaving their fortunes reversed & their futures secured This is the story of some of these successes How the Humpback Whale in seemingly terminal decline because of commercial whaling is today recovering naturally getting back to the numbers that swam in our oceans before they were viciously harpooned Others have needed considerable help such as the enigmatic Arabian Oryx the origin of the unicorn myth that was reintroduced to the fabled Empty Quarter deserts of Arabia where over a thousand again roam These are stories of enormous personal courage dedication & patience by those protecting animals like the Black Rhino; of reinstating damaged or destroyed habitats for predators such as the enchanting Iberian Lynx; & of reintroducing birds such as America's tallest the Whooping Crane to places where they once thrived but had long gone Back from the Brink recounts the struggle to win the support of local communities to accept & bolster the populations of some of our largest animals such as the Mountain Gorilla & the magnificent Siberian Tiger both of which once seemed destined for extinction The re-introduction of the Wild Turkey extirpated from most American states by early white settlers was successful because of biologists' ability to learn from early mistakes The gorgeous Large Blue butterflyextinct in England by the 1970swould not be thriving today without the incredible investigation that unraveled its complex living requirements a lesson in detection that would have challenged Scotland Yard's finest & others like the gentle lumbering Florida Manatee its numbers recovering very slowly in part due to enormous public support It's the kind of care & consideration that Man needs to share to make our planet a richer place for us all ...

Paul Mc Grath is Ireland's best loved sportsman & also its least understood An iconic football presence during a professional career stretching over 14 years he played for his country in the European Championship finals of 1988 & the World Cup finals of 1990 & 1994 But behind the implied glamour of life in the employ of great English clubs like Manchester United & Aston Villa Mc Grath wrestled with a range of destructive emotions that made his success in the game little short of miraculous That story has until now never been told It is a story that runs from a hard hidden childhood spent in Dublin's orphanages all the way to the pain of two marriage break-ups & the struggle to cope with life after football Quite apart from his all too public struggle with alcoholism the story runs through the surreal highs & calamitous lows of a life lived habitually on the edge of chaos It is not just a football story It is an extraordinary human story that is certain to surprise with its candour Here for the first time read about the father he never met; the mother whose love never died; the routine loneliness & ritual bullying endured by a black kid growing up behind closed doors in 1960s Dublin; the emotional breakdown suffered on leaving that institution; the recovery that
- remarkably
- brought him all the way to Old Trafford; the rollercoaster ride that followed Here the guilt fear self-loathing are all laid bare in a story fired with hope & determination for the future It may well be the most candid sports book ever written
