Book Synopsis Coast to Coast on the Big O by : Larry Newlin
Download or read book Coast to Coast on the Big O written by Larry Newlin and published by Llumina Press. This book was released on 2009-08 with total page 238 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Coast to Coast on the Big O is an entertaining and informative look at what it's like to ride a tandem bicycle across the United States. Beginning on the Oregon coast and finishing in Ocean City, Maryland, this is a tale of two people working together to complete a lifelong dream. Larry and Laura Newlin have traveled extensively around the country, but seeing the small towns and back roads from the seat of a bicycle built for two brought an entirely new perspective. Along the way, they encountered people from all walks of life and spent time in places not normally known as tourist stops. Together, they battled cold winds, searing heat and humidity, Appalachian coal trucks, and at times, each other. With a pleasant blend of the present and the past, the story contains a history of the route as well as encounters with a wide variety of characters, from jaded cowboys in Wyoming to backwoods families feuding in rural Kentucky. Told from the perspective of two people who thought they knew each other rather well (after all, they'd been married thirty-two years), Coast to Coast on the Big O shows how four months on a bicycle makes for a sometimes hilarious, sometimes serious tale of an evolving relationship. In the end, they each discover surprising qualities inside themselves. Newlin goes beyond the romantic notions of a bicycle trip across the country to offer a realistic view of the work it takes to create a team on a tandem bicycle. For anyone considering the "experience of a lifetime," this book is a must read. Larry Newlin lives and writes in Colorado. Born and raised in the state, he has climbed every fourteen-thousand-foot peak in Colorado and bicycled extensively in the Rocky Mountains as well as the Alps. Retired from a successful career as an air traffic controller, Larry enjoys traveling the world on a bicycle. With two children and one grandson living on the east coast, Larry and his wife Laura may be making several more trips across the country on their tandem. This is his first book, but not the last. He is currently pedaling his bicycle solo across the southern United States, interviewing extraordinary characters in out-of-the-way small towns while working on the next book.

Book excerpt: Come along on a bicycle built for two for this double tale of a KHS Tandemania Roma tandem bicycle to take you the length of the Mississippi River from the Canadian Border to the Gulf of Mexico then from Coast to Coast from the Atlantic to the Pacific. The seat belts couldn't be fastened because there aren't any. The only proper precaution is to look out for cars, and have bike helmets on. The country is out there for you to see. But you have to slow down from 70 mph to 10 to 15 mph if you want to see it all. That is, if you want to smell the flowers plus the pig manure scent wafting through the air. America is out there, it is just a case of knowing how to find it. I think we have found it.

Many worlds, many lives—infinite possibilities. Welcome to the multiverse. Sixteen-year-old Sasha Lawson has only ever known one small, ordinary life.

Sasha never believed such worlds were real—until now, when she finds herself thrust into one against her will. To prevent imminent war, Sasha must slip into the life of an alternate version of herself, a princess who has vanished on the eve of her arranged marriage. If Sasha succeeds in fooling everyone, she will be returned home; if she fails, she'll be trapped in another girl's life forever. As time runs out, Sasha finds herself torn between two worlds, two lives, and two young men vying for her love—one who knows her secret, and one who believes she's someone she's not.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pheidippides did it once and became a legend. Brian Mills did it 771 times... but you might be forgiven for not knowing who he is. He is a runner and 'it' is the marathon - all 26 miles and 385 yards of it - and for some people once is not enough. Brian Mills is rumoured to have a butterfly tattoo for each of his 771 efforts. And Brian is not the only one who has notched up three digits of grueling athletic endeavor. The 100 Marathon Club, also known as the Hell's Angels of Running and Running Sluts (running one race whilst thinking of another), is growing in number every year. This is a club with no prejudices and only one prerequisite for membership - the completion of 100 marathons. It is full of colourful, contrasting characters with idiosyncratic personalities and diverse lifestyles. They make up a gargantuan melting pot of humanity linked by one common desire - to run... and run... and run. But who would want to run 100 marathons or more? And why? How do they find the time, the money, the energy? Are they crazy? Or just passionate? Find out by reading their stories. Some will make you laugh, others will make you cry, some may even inspire you to run a marathon. Believe it or not, these are ordinary, everyday people like you. Although when you have finished laughing and crying, you may still not be sure whether they are crazy or passionate. But you - as they do when they run - will have a lot of fun along the way.

Book excerpt: "Based on his popular series in the New York Times chronicling his cross-country bicycle trip, bestselling author Bruce Weber shares his adventures from his solo ride across the USA. Riding a bicycle across the US is one of those bucket-list goals that many dream about but few achieve. Bestselling author and New York Times reporter Bruce Weber made the trip, solo, over the summer and fall of 2011--at the age of fifty-seven. Expanding upon his popular series published in The New York Times, Life Is a Wheel is the witty and inspiring account of his journey, where he extols the pleasures of cycling and reflects on what happened on his adventure, in the world, in the country, and in his life. The story begins on the Oregon coast with a middle-aged man wondering what he's gotten himself into and ends in triumph on the George Washington Bridge, wondering how soon he might try it again. Part travelogue, part memoir, part paean to the bicycle as a simple and elegant mode of both mobility and self-expression--and part wry and panicky account of a fifty-seven-year-old man's attempt to stave off mortality--Life Is a Wheel is an elegant and entertaining escape for any armchair traveler"--

Describes the rudiments of transmission media, from twisted pair and coaxial cable to satellite and fiber-optic transmission. Introduces the basics of voice systems, beginning with legacy networks like key telephone systems and including PBXs, Centrex, Automatic Call Distributors, and Computer Telephony Integration (CTI). Explains the fundamentals of data communications, including basic LAN and WAN engineering, modems and other forms of data communications equipment, broadband infrastructure and network services, and the protocols and equipment that make the global Internet a reality. Considers some of the emerging technologies and applications just now gaining widespread acceptance, including wireless networks and digital video networks, along with the economic and regulatory forces likely to determine the shape of the networked world of the 21st Century, as well as the speed with which we can expect to see it implemented.
