In the book Chris explains wind calculations and how he does it in the book he says, “Wind flags can be used to estimate wind speed by their angle. If a flag is at an 80-degree angle, that number is divided by the constant 4—to get 20 miles per hour. Likewise, if the flag only waves at a 40-degree angle, 40 divided by 4 equals 10 miles per hour. If no flag is available, the sniper can use his observation skills. A wind that is barely felt but causes smoke to drift is less than 3 miles per hour. Light winds are 3 to 5 miles per hour. Wind that constantly blows leaves around is 5 to 8 miles per hour. Dust and trash are blown at 8 to 12 miles per hour. Trees sway at 12 to 15 miles per hour.” (Wadson). This quote explains that their are different ways to calculate winds using their surroundings. I like how he explains this because it shows how creative and how well they can use their surroundings to their advantage in a gunfight or anything

The humanizing aspect of the book is what I enjoyed most about the book, because while I love learning about science, colorless scientific histories are rather difficult to read.
The Hawaiian Monk seal is a greatly endangered marine species. These adorable creatures are being used for human goods such as their skin, meat, and oils. Not only this, but predators like Sharks and poisoning have also killed off the breed. Today in 2017, only about 1,100-1,400 are fighting for their lives.

The reason why I chose this book is because I wanted to see what being invisible would feel like and this book gave a decent representation of what it might have felt like.
When mag crew workers become victims of tragic accidents or perpetrators of violent crimes, they’re often thousands of miles from home, which makes it difficult for their families to get information about their cases, often involving foul play. Since their door-to-door jobs are by nature itinerant, they roam the streets, trying to sell magazine subscriptions to the public in town after town. It is also a job that, many say, leaves crew members open to serious abuse. There is a long list of persistent mag crew-related problems, which usually generate only local news attention disappearances, rapes, assaults, van rollover accidents, abandonments and suspicious deaths. Successful civil lawsuits against mag crew company owners haven’t done much to curb the industry’s labor abuses, and because of jurisdictional restrictions, local police in most states can do little other than arrest sales agents for selling without proper permits.
I think that the Canadian government should not ban the seal hunt because it is humane. Most people do not think it is humane because of the way that media portrays the hunt. It is true that before rules were set, the seal hunt was out of control. But now, after all the changes to the hunt, people still think that it is out of hand. Why? People who are against the hunt use outdated pictures and statistics, which trick people into believing that the seal hunt is inhumane. Also, most people care about the hunt because the pictures that people often show are of harp seals, which are known to be very cute. This makes people feel more sympathy than they would to an animal, which is not as cute as the harp seal. Another point on the media is that
“There are only two kinds of people who understand Marines: Marines and the enemy. Everyone else just has a second-hand opinion.” (Gen William Thornson, U.S. Army) For decades, the United States Marine Corps has established an identity as a unique and fearless war fighting machine.
The leopard seal is one of six species of seals in the Antarctic. They can get up to 1230 pounds and fall anywhere between eight and twelve feet long. These large muscular animals have dark grey backs, and spots scattered among their light grey stomachs and throat. They get their name, “leopard seal”, from their impressively long sharp carnivore like teeth. Although their front teeth are sharp, their back teeth lock together to help them catch krill. Their appetite mainly consists of penguins, fish, squid, and krill, though they will prey on other seals. Although the leopard seal is considered the most ferocious seal in Antarctica, they will play with the penguins in a friendly manner. When they are not playing with the penguin they will grab

This question is honestly the most difficult to answer. The entire book was intriguing from start to finish. I would say that what I liked the most about this book is all the pictures he placed on there. He captured every image with so much meaning.
