What We Know About Preventing Gun Violence In The US
In the wake of this week's mass shooting in Nashville, what the latest research says about preventing gun violence in our communities.
When her father died suddenly in a London street, scholar Helen Macdonald was shattered. To escape her grief, she threw herself into the solitary and obsessive work of raising Mabel, a fierce young goshawk. A lover of falconry since childhood, Helen became fascinated by author T.H. White, who also searched for solace by training a hawk. Like him, Helen shut out the human world and retreated to the wild, spending her days looking at life through the bird’s eyes. Over time she was able to face her grief, and today, Helen Macdonald credits the hawk with her breakthrough. We hear one woman’s story of coping with loss by reconnecting with the wild.
