Book Description
“Above all, do not lose your desire to walk: every day I walk myself into a state of well-being and walk away from every illness.” —Søren Kierkegaard Duncan Minshull has always walked and in the last twenty years has made use of it by writing and publishing books on the subject. He has described the whys, hows, and wheres of traveling on foot for various magazines and newspapers, including The Times (London), the Financial Times, Condé Nast Traveler, and Vogue. He has edited two other collections on walking: While Wandering: A Walking Companion (originally The Vintage Book of Walking) and The Burning Leg: Walking Scenes from Classic Fiction. Walking and writing have always gone together. Think of the poets who walk out a rhythm for their lines and the novelists who put their characters on a path. But the best insights, the deepest and most joyous examinations of this simple activity are to be found in nonfiction—in essays, travelogues, and memoirs. Beneath My Feet: Writers on Walking rounds up the most memorable walker-writers from the 1700s to the modern day, from country hikers to urban strollers, from the rationalists to the truly outlandish. Follow in the footsteps of William Hazlitt, George Sand, Rebecca Solnit, Will Self, and dozens of others. Keep up with them—and be astonished.

Facing the Extreme
Author: Ruth Anne Kocour
Publisher: St. Martin's Press
ISBN: 1250135923
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 285
Book Description
Ruth Anne Kocour's Facing the Extreme charts her remarkable journey of survival climbing Mount McKinley. She stepped into a death zone. The climbers on Alaska's Mt. McKinley called her "the woman." Ruth Anne Kocour, a world-class mountaineer, wasn't bothered. It was part of the challenge she faced as she joined an all-male team to conquer North America's highest peak...the mountain the Indians called Denali, or God. Faced the extreme. But nine days into this ascent, a forty-fifth birthday present to herself, the most violent weather on record slammed into the mountain. Ruth Anne and her group would be trapped on an ice shelf at 14,000 feet for the deadliest two weeks in Denali history. Pinned down by blinding snows, unable to help other teams dying around her, and her own feet freezing solid, Ruth Anne tells of a wind chill of minus 150 degrees, deadly hidden crevasses, and being trapped in a place so violent and unforgiving that it threatened to push her over the edge and into a place of no return. And yet, in prose as crystalline as the ice around her, she tells, too, of beauty, courage, and the spirit that drives true mountaineers higher, as she risks all to go for the summit...and perhaps, for a transcendent moment, touch heaven. And lived to tell about it ..

Book Description
Here you have twenty crazy, dark, ironic, and cruel stories. And, also, a humorous one. Each of them with a distinct theme and literary style. Let's have a look: She is waiting in the hall – Brief and simple. An appetizer in a cozy home before domestic chaos. Nenete – Emotive, strong, and sad. Unfortunately, a story that must have happened somewhere in real life. It won't be so easy – Death, depicted growing in her childhood, stalks a little boy who, dangerously, rides his tricycle near her. On wars as it is in duels –This blurb is not spoiler-free, so I suggest you read it after the story. (After a battle, the only survivor, dying, tells an anecdote to his comrades without knowing, in his delusion, that they are gone already.) Accelerated aging – This one was written when the author wasn't suffering from the symptoms that are narrated. He's confirmed his delusions. Time to scuttle away – It is Death again. This time, she's herding her flock under a storm. It'll make you think about the sense of existence. Flowers in the window – Macabre. An unfortunately frequent situation in which the victim manages to get free through murder. Conjugal sacrifices – A breather on the way. A man who, being under a lucky star, is given a gift he wasn't expecting. A little humor to dissipate the gloom from the previous stories. Tetrahedron – Many curious things can happen, if one tries to talk to oneself deeply. Especially, if oneself is a community. (The reader will find out why) A better life? - This lifetime's sorrows are extended beyond life and return thirsty for more. Ghosts in the attic – Along with "His match" and "The wind and the dogs" are the oldest triad of stories in this book. Kill the messenger – The passions and ambitions harbored by a group of men in a small town. A story about intrigue. Astrid – My favorite. The protagonist is a walking fail

Book Description
A murder has Seattle on edge, and it falls to a pacifist empath—and a notorious empath hunter—to find the killer before it's too late It’s the middle of the night when part-time police consultant and full-time empath Reece gets an anonymous call warning him that his detective sister needs his help. At an out-of-the-way Seattle marina, he discovers that three people have been butchered—including the author of the country’s strictest anti-empathy bill, which is just days from being passed into law. Soon, Reece’s caller arrives: a shadowy government agent known as The Dead Man, who is rumored to deal exclusively in cases involving empathy. He immediately takes over the investigation, locking out both local PD and the FBI, but, strangely, keeps Reece by his side. As the two track an ever-growing trail of violence and destruction across Seattle, Reece must navigate a scared and angry city, an irritating attraction to his mysterious agent companion, and a rising fear that perhaps empaths like him aren’t all flight and no fight after all… "Readers will be yearning for more the minute they finish the final page." —Library Journal, starred review, on Starcrossed Sugar & Vice
