Jorie: The Extraordinary Life of Jorie Butler Kent, Visionary and Philanthropist
Product Details
Jorie Butler Kent has led an extraordinary life in every sense of the word.
She comes from one of the great American families–the Butlers–who have had a long and celebrated history in business, exploration, and philanthropy, not to mention their central role in the establishment of polo in the United States and founding the Oak Brook Polo Club over 100 years ago. Her memoir, Jorie: The Extraordinary Life of Jorie Butler Kent, Visionary and Philanthropist is the story of family and its traditions, of cinematic adventure, of a deep abiding love for nature. Jorie has succeeded in whatever she set her mind to. To name but a few of her achievements: she was a champion equestrian as well as one of the first women to run a championship polo team, a fixture of society from New York to Palm Beach, and an award-winning pioneer of environmentally conscious tourism and conservation in Kenya. With her business, the world-renowned luxury travel company Abercrombie & Kent, built with Geoffrey Kent, and her charity, Friends of Conservation, bringing her to places as diverse as the plains of the Masai-Mara and the uplands of Papua New-Guinea, Jorie has changed the lives of thousands of people. Lavishly illustrated and containing stories that include everything from coaching the future King Charles III in polo to birdwatching in central Africa with George Plimpton, Jorie: The Extraordinary Life of Jorie Butler Kent, Visionary and Philanthropist allows the reader to delve into the story of a truly unparalleled life.
