Book Synopsis Another Hill and Sometimes a Mountain by : Tim Green
Download or read book Another Hill and Sometimes a Mountain written by Tim Green and published by . This book was released on 2018-10-09 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ANOTHER HILL AND SOMETIMES A MOUNTAIN is the powerful testimony of one child's courage in not only surviving but thriving in the foster care system. How? Because Tim was determined to rise above his humble beginnings ... despite the heart-wrenching and dark secrets of the circumstances surrounding his birth family. The statistics that often predict a foster child's future success rarely fall in their favor -- and this was particularly true in the 1960s and 1970s when abuse of the most vulnerable children was rampant. Could Tim develop the resilience and tools to survive ill-equipped and ambivalent parents, poverty, and an entire childhood spent in foster care? The answer is a resounding yes. This true story explores the many people and circumstances that made up Tim's life as he made his way through a confusing maze of experiences. He drew upon his incredible inner reserves to beat the status quo and become a renowned name in the fitness world. Author Tim Green delivers his nearly unbelievable autobiography - a powerful story that offers hope to any child struggling to fit into a world despite not having the support of a birth family. Tim's story will remain with you for life. "Growing older is like climbing a mountain: the higher you get, the more strength you need, but the further you see." - Ingmar Bergman
Book Synopsis Essays on lone trips, mountain-craft and other hill topics by : Adam Watson
Download or read book Essays on lone trips, mountain-craft and other hill topics written by Adam Watson and published by Paragon Publishing. This book was released on 2016-05-04 with total page 62 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book begins with a thought-provoking article now reprinted, criticising the increasing influence of politically-correct organisations and politicians who desire to control freewill and mountaineering. Then comes a chapter with a critique of several writers on the Cairngorms in comparison with the original Seton Gordon. After the author published a review in 1977 on ‘The wildlife potential of the Cairngorms region’, he came under unwarranted attack by two influential private landowners who misrepresented what he wrote and even included a threat. A wider public should be aware of this. There follows an essay on biologist Professor Vero C. Wynne-Edwards, and another on the history of the research station near Banchory, established for studying at first red grouse and then ecological problems of mountain, moorland, woodland and fresh-water. The last chapter – the most important one and occupying a third of the book – gives the author’s lifetime view of the value of lone trips in climbing, ski-mountaineering and mountain-craft.

Download or read book Hill Women written by Cassie Chambers and published by Ballantine Books. This book was released on 2021-01-12 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After rising from poverty to earn two Ivy League degrees, an Appalachian lawyer pays tribute to the strong “hill women” who raised and inspired her, and whose values have the potential to rejuvenate a struggling region. “Destined to be compared to Hillbilly Elegy and Educated.”—BookPage (starred review) “Poverty is enmeshed with pride in these stories of survival.”—Associated Press Nestled in the Appalachian mountains, Owsley County is one of the poorest counties in both Kentucky and the country. Buildings are crumbling and fields sit vacant, as tobacco farming and coal mining decline. But strong women are finding creative ways to subsist in their hollers in the hills. Cassie Chambers grew up in these hollers and, through the women who raised her, she traces her own path out of and back into the Kentucky mountains. Chambers’s Granny was a child bride who rose before dawn every morning to raise seven children. Despite her poverty, she wouldn’t hesitate to give the last bite of pie or vegetables from her garden to a struggling neighbor. Her two daughters took very different paths: strong-willed Ruth—the hardest-working tobacco farmer in the county—stayed on the family farm, while spirited Wilma—the sixth child—became the first in the family to graduate from high school, then moved an hour away for college. Married at nineteen and pregnant with Cassie a few months later, Wilma beat the odds to finish school. She raised her daughter to think she could move mountains, like the ones that kept her safe but also isolated her from the larger world. Cassie would spend much of her childhood with Granny and Ruth in the hills of Owsley County, both while Wilma was in college and after. With her “hill women” values guiding her, Cassie went on to graduate from Harvard Law. But while the Ivy League gave her knowledge and opportunities, its privileged world felt far from her reality, and she moved back home to help her fellow rural Kentucky women by providing free legal services. Appalachian women face issues that are all too common: domestic violence, the opioid crisis, a world that seems more divided by the day. But they are also community leaders, keeping their towns together in the face of a system that continually fails them. With nuance and heart, Chambers uses these women’s stories paired with her own journey to break down the myth of the hillbilly and illuminate a region whose poor communities, especially women, can lead it into the future.
