If you are yearning to take a trip to America’s Gulf Coast without leaving home or want to learn how to effect change in your organization, you may want to take a look at two recently released publications by a couple of St. Anthony Park residents.
In Learning From Alligators, a multimedia e-book by John and Nat Shepard, the father and son document their 2011 journey exploring the Gulf Coast from Florida to Texas by cabin cruiser, kayak, bicycle, airplane and minivan.
Anthropologist and educator John Shepard and his videographer son, Nat, share encounters with alligators, oystermen, pelicans, scientists, cypress trees, deer hunters, dolphins, oil-spill workers and endangered whooping cranes.
The e-book combines writing with videos, panoramic photography, photo galleries and maps. You can find the in-depth travel guide on iTunes.
