Rufus: The Remarkable True Story of a Tamed Fox
by Ernest DudleyRufus was born free in the Scottish highlands; but when he came into the possession of Don MacCaskill, he proved a willing captive. Not surprising in view of the understanding care and loving attention he received in the MacCaskill household. The wonderful part about this story is how Rufus responded to his captivity and to the other pets in the MacCaskill household. There was Cronk the raven, Shuna the Labrador pup, and Cassius the half-wild kitten; and Rufus became close friends with them all. Ernest Dudley has written a factual narrative of great warmth about an animal too often condemned to death for reasons not always valid and seldom without abiding prejudice. The book recounts how this playful, affectionate fox refuses to return to the wild; how he becomes acquainted with a vixen, mates, and breeds young in captivity. How Rufus allows strangers to hold him; how he poses for pictures; and how his unique personality captivates all who come to know him. This revealing document will be deeply enjoyed by everyone who loves animals or is interested in animal behavior.
Ruhi Book 5 - Releasing the Powers of Junior Youth (2022 Edition)
by Ruhi InstituteReleasing the Powers of Junior Youth, the fifth book in the Institute's main sequence is intended to assist those wishing to engage 3 group of youngsters from their village or neighborhood in the program. It is the first in a series of courses, branching off from the main sequence, that will help individuals develop the capabilities required to serve as "animators"--a designation that, in itself, bespeaks the nature of the act of service involved. While not everyone studying the book will enter this field of endeavor, it is hoped that all will derive inspiration from the themes addressed and recognize the importance of giving due attention to the noble aspirations of junior youth--this, as an essential aspect of creating a culture that promotes attitudes towards young people so different from the ones being perpetuated in society today. In such an environment, then, even individuals not directly involved in the program will stand ready to lend their support to its burgeoning activities.

On the other, the themes they examine here will place in context so much of what they do going forward, for a life given to service to the Cause will necessarily be infused with a fervent desire to attain the privilege of sharing Baha'u'llah's teachings with others.
