Book Synopsis 101 Road Tales by : Clement Salvadori
Download or read book 101 Road Tales written by Clement Salvadori and published by Whitehorse Press. This book was released on 2008-08-15 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Popular motojournalist Clement Salvadori has been sharing his stories from the road with the readers of Rider magazine since 1988. Now, 101 of those engaging Road Tales have been brought together in one book, cleverly illustrated by his long-time friend Gary Brown. Salvadori loves to travel by motorcycle and loves to write. His combining the two has given him a thoroughly satisfactory life, and his contentment and joy of living shine through this collection of columns from the past two decades. Though he does admit to being destination-oriented at times, many of his columns focus on the little things that make the journey itself the most memorable -- the rhythm of the road, the music of the bike, the beauty of the ride, and the exhilaration of being at one with the bike and the road. Meet some of the characters he has encountered, laugh with him at some of his blunders, and join him for bread, cheese, wine, and a stupendous vista somewhere away from the hustle and bustle of humanity.
Book Synopsis 101 Road Patrol Tales by : E. W. Tompkins, Jr.
Download or read book 101 Road Patrol Tales written by E. W. Tompkins, Jr. and published by Linden Publishing. This book was released on 2011-08 with total page 230 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bringing to light an entertaining array of anecdotes, this collection of police stories recalls some of the strangest, funniest, and most poignant accounts from the freeways, highways, and country roads throughout California. From the family who pulled over for a picnic on the median strip of a busy freeway to the angelic-looking 5-year-old girl who defused a tense traffic stop by sweetly confessing, "my daddy has a beer under the seat," this is an uncompromising view of the everyday pursuits, enforcement stops, arrests, accidents, and weird encounters that patrolmen must endure. Also featured is a panoply of unlikely drunk-driving suspects, including Santa Claus, a Boy Scout troop leader, a newlywed couple, and an airline pilot on his way to fly a plane; the traffic stop of an elderly driver whose license had expired 35 years earlier--and who explained he was on his way to the DMV; and many more hilarious, odd, and tragic stories of life and death on the open road. Encouraging a renewed respect for the men and women in uniform who risk their lives to protect the public, this compilation also contains advice on highway safety and how to behave when pulled over by a patrol officer.

Download or read book Road Tales written by Steve Reed and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2008-12-22 with total page 138 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If you're looking for a book to help you rebuild the brakes on a 1978 Honda CB 750 or adjust the carbs on a 1986 Yamaha Midnight Special, then this isn't the book for you. But if you are looking for a book that is an easy read or one that might be a good "rainy night in a motel" book, you've found it. Come along and join us as we wander some back roads, meet some unusual people, dine on some fine home cooking, and discover that adventure can be found almost anywhere. As you travel along on this journey, be prepared to shed a tear or two, smile more than once, recall some of your own "misadventures", and generally have a good time. "Road Tales" is about the essence of "being there", not the mechanics or skills of motorcycling. It's about listening to the rain on your helmet as you're trying to get home. It's about the song in your heart as you ride that perfect road. It's about the thrills and chills of being on a motorcycle and wondering what is waiting for you up ahead on the road. And it's about the smile on your face as you read it. A former columnist for "Motorcycle Tour and Cruiser" and "Road Bike" magazines, Steve Reed has logged thousands upon thousands of miles on various motorcycles. He seems to have a knack to find the unusual in the usual, the extraordinary in the commonplace, and the magic in the moment.

Download or read book Road Stories written by Peter Aven and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2012-03 with total page 177 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Stories always have a lot of names of people and places. I have tried to retain as many original names as I could in the name of realism, but in order to protect identities and reputations, and also to follow at least halfway my lawyer's advice, I had to change about half of them. Wherever possible, I simply avoided names altogether, as in "the bass player" or "the club owner" or "the town". Whenever there is a remotely negative connotation the names have most definitely been altered. There is also some fill-in work so far as dialogue is concerned. This bit of artistic license was taken not only because I can't remember every single thing everyone said, but also in the name of technical dramatic writing. There is a sprinkling of fiction in all storytelling. Think of it as the spices in the event-salad. I have tried to keep it to a bare minimum. The only ones who might choke on the pepper are the people who were actually there. And you know who you are.

Book Synopsis Out of the Northwoods by : Michael Edmonds
Download or read book Out of the Northwoods written by Michael Edmonds and published by Wisconsin Historical Society. This book was released on 2010-09-24 with total page 299 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Every American has heard of the lumberjack hero Paul Bunyan and his big blue ox. For 100 years his exploits filled cartoons, magazines, short stories, and children's books, and his name advertised everything from pancake breakfasts to construction supplies. By 1950 Bunyan was a ubiquitous icon of America's strength and ingenuity. Until now, no one knew where he came from—and the extent to which this mythical hero is rooted in Wisconsin. Out of the Northwoods presents the culture of nineteenth-century lumberjacks in their own words. It includes eyewitness accounts of how the first Bunyan stories were shared on frigid winter nights, around logging camp stoves, in the Wisconsin pinery. It describes where the tales began, how they moved out of the forest and into print, and why publication changed them forever. Part bibliographic mystery and part social history, Out of the Northwoods explains for the first time why we all know and love Paul Bunyan.

Book Synopsis Tolkien Dogmatics by : Austin M. Freeman
Download or read book Tolkien Dogmatics written by Austin M. Freeman and published by Lexham Press. This book was released on 2022-11-16 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Theology through mythology J. R. R. Tolkien was many things: English Catholic, father and husband, survivor of two world wars, Oxford professor, and author. But he was also a theologian. Tolkien's writings exhibit a coherent theology of God and his works, but Tolkien did not present his views with systematic arguments. Rather, he expressed theology through story. In Tolkien Dogmatics, Austin M. Freeman inspects Tolkien's entire corpus— The Hobbit, The Lord of the Rings, and beyond—as a window into his theology. In his stories, lectures, and letters, Tolkien creatively and carefully engaged with his Christian faith. Tolkien Dogmatics is a comprehensive manual of Tolkien's theological thought arranged in traditional systematic theology categories, with sections on God, revelation, creation, evil, Christ and salvation, the church, and last things. Through Tolkien's imagination, we reencounter our faith.

Demián finds Jorge, an unconventional psychoanalyst who approaches Demián’s dilemma in an unconventional way. Every day, Jorge tells Demián a story.
