Jackie, born of medical missionaries in China during World War II, rejected her connection to her birth country growing up because it made her different. A return to China with her parents in 1980, however, is life-changing. After always having known her mother as distant and emotionally abusive, she is stunned to see a loving side to her for the first time—and pleasantly surprised by the affinity she feels for her birth country. These revelations launch Jackie on a quest to understand her difficult childhood and who she is beyond “wife,” “mother,” and “daughter.” Her journey takes her first to the mountainous landscapes of Alaska, where she finds a passion for nature and begins a thirty-five-year environmental career. As she builds her life there and later in New England, she makes multiple trips to her birth country—with her parents, alone, and with her adult children. Each of these trips provides a benchmark for the growth and transformation she undergoes as she learns to create the authentic life she craves. Deeply reflective and sensitively rendered, Whispers from the Valley of the Yak touches on the healing power of nature and universal themes of unconditional love and forgiveness—and, most importantly, being true to oneself.

Silent Valley, situated in Palakkad district of Kerala in the southern Western Ghats, is one of the richest, most threatened and least studied forest tracts in India. Silent Valley caught international attention a decade ago when the people, with the moral support of conservationists in India and abroad including international bodies like the IUCN, WWF etc. campaigned to save Silent Valley from being submerged in the reservoir of a hydroelectric project. This unprecedented movement heralded a new epoch of environmental awareness and ecological ethics. Silent Valley was subsequently declared a National Park in 1984 as a precious gift to the posterity and it became a symbol of nature conservation in the country. / This anthology brought out by the Kerala Forest Department contains 38 articles in four parts. The first part narrates the historical evolution and the second delineates the managerial evolution of the Silent Valley National Park. The third and fourth parts deal with the flora and fauna and their conservation strategies. Spectacular photographs by eminent nature photographers adorn the pages, offering but a glimpse of the treasures of Silent Valley. Unique in contents and treatment, this volume, like the success story of the Silent Valley Movement, is a tribute to Nature and vouches for what can be achieved when naturalists, forestry experts and scientists join hands for the cause of conservation.
