The purpose of this book is to fill a gap in knowledge that exists and to better equip future generations of mental health professional leaders. During the last fifteen years of leading CCFAM, then CCFAM Training, and now Play Therapy Training Resources, I learned to intentionally lead and followed the next step of claiming a culture for the foundation of the businesses and the employees within them. How did this happen? Leading intentionally and claiming a culture required me to be an active participant and leader in these organizations. This book invites you, as the reader, to come along on some of my recreational adventures-running, skiing, and water sports, to name a few-for what I hope will be relatable stories and lessons. Both being a leader and participating in physical recreation demand you to be active in each moment, and I draw wisdom from the parallels of those experiences. As I share memories and takeaways from my journey to intentional leadership and claiming a culture, I will focus on four primary areas: 1) making a positive impact, 2) considering the vision for the culture, 3) normalizing the struggles and mistakes that occur within organizations (as you learn from mistakes I made), and 4) encouraging you to continue your own adventure story, as it unfolds in the years ahead.

SPORTS Carl G. Fisher was an early 20th-century entrepreneur whose energy and gift for promotion carried him through a number of very successful and historically noteworthy ventures: He created the famed Indianapolis Motor Speedway and its annual 500-mile race, and he was the motivating and organizing force behind the Lincoln Highway, the nation's first transcontinental road. Fisher seems best known as the primary developer of Miami Beach, then little more than a tropical swamp. He similarly began to develop Montauk, Long Island, before going bankrupt during the Great Depression. This portrait was written by a Fisher relative to offset a general lack of biographical information about him. (Fisher's first wife, Jane, wrote an earlier biography, Fabulous Hoosier.) Extensively researched, it gives significant detail about Fisher's projects, yet at times it reads too much like a mere gathering of facts. Nonetheless, Fisher's achievements deserve to be documented. Libraries in Indiana and South Florida ought to have this title, as should those with collections about American entrepreneurs. David B.

A comprehensive guidebook for dog owners that includes seventy-seven great hikes from the Adirondacks through the Catskills. Much more than a guidebook showing readers great places to hike with their canine companions in upstate New York, Doghiker is a dog owner’s operating manual and tool kit. A lifelong dog owner, Alan Via makes a strong case for responsible ownership and offers guidance on selecting a canine hiking companion, training, safety, appropriate gear, canine first aid, and keeping your dog fit and healthy. Covering the Adirondacks through the Catskills, and areas in between, this unique guidebook includes seventy-seven beautiful hikes that are great for dogs. Each hike has a custom topographic map showing parking areas, trails, viewpoints, water sources, and other points of interest. Included are a peak-finder map and chart showing every hike and a summary of rating categories, as well as information on total mileage, elevation gain, ratings for views, difficulty level, dog safety and hazards, hiker traffic, trail conditions, and whether a leash is suggested or required. Detailed driving directions for each outing, including GPS coordinates for key intersections and trailheads, are also provided. By presenting all of this information, drawn from Via’s forty-plus years of hike leadership, readers can easily evaluate which hike fits their needs and get outside and explore the great outdoors with their four-legged friends.
