Book Synopsis In the Shadow of the Mountain by : Silvia Vasquez-Lavado
Download or read book In the Shadow of the Mountain written by Silvia Vasquez-Lavado and published by Henry Holt and Company. This book was released on 2022-02-01 with total page 309 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “In climbing the Seven Summits, Silvia Vasquez-Lavado did nothing less than take back her own life—one brave step at a time. She will inspire untold numbers of souls with this story, for her victory is a win on behalf of all of us.”—Elizabeth Gilbert Endless ice. Thin air. The threat of dropping into nothingness thousands of feet below. This is the climb Silvia Vasquez-Lavado braves in her page-turning, pulse-raising memoir chronicling her journey to Mount Everest. A Latina hero in the elite macho tech world of Silicon Valley, privately, she was hanging by a thread. Deep in the throes of alcoholism, hiding her sexuality from her family, and repressing the abuse she’d suffered as a child, she started climbing. Something about the brute force required for the ascent—the risk and spirit and sheer size of the mountains and death’s close proximity—woke her up. She then took her biggest pain as a survivor to the biggest mountain: Everest. “The Mother of the World,” as it’s known in Nepal, allows few to reach her summit, but Silvia didn’t go alone. She gathered a group of young female survivors and led them to base camp alongside her. It was never easy. At times hair-raising, nerve-racking, and always challenging, Silvia remembers the acute anxiety of leading a group of novice climbers to Everest’s base, all the while coping with her own nerves of summiting. But, there were also moments of peace, joy, and healing with the strength of her fellow survivors and community propelling her forward. In the Shadow of the Mountain is a remarkable story of heroism, one which awakens in all of us a lust for adventure, an appetite for risk, and faith in our own resilience.
Book Synopsis The Moonlight King by : Derek DeCosta
Download or read book The Moonlight King written by Derek DeCosta and published by Gatekeeper Press. This book was released on 2021-05-30 with total page 269 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seoul, Korea 1977. A young couple makes the toughest of decisions. Driven by shame they send their only son far away into foreign adoption. Their son is just six years old. A new country. A new life he cannot possibly understand. He is tortured and beaten. Broken and battered. Forced into unspeakable acts. He builds walls that cannot be seen. And bars that cannot be broken. Scars that do not heal. And wounds always open. Can he battle his demons? And conquer the darkness? The fight for freedom is within... "The Moonlight King" The true life story of Derek DeCosta. Book Review 1: “The Moonlight King is an amazing book! Working at a television station on a morning show, we read many books, and interview many authors. I’ve read the Moonlight King several times because it’s such an incredible story of courage, and strength. Derek is truly an inspiration! His book is worth reading!! You won’t want to put it down.” -- Carol Lanigan, Assignment Editor, Fox25 News, Boston Book Review 2: “The Moonlight King is an incredible book! Derek’s story will rock you; it will shake you to the core. This is right up there with the top books I’ve ever read! It’s a must read and well worth your time. It’s amazing how Derek has stayed such a positive and inspiring man in spite of the many challenges in his life. The Moonlight King will stick with you, long after you’ve read it.” -- Alex Stylos, WSAR Radio Host, Somerset, MA Book Review 3: "Derek's struggle adds pathos and ethos to the insight, wisdom, and advice that he weaves into every page. Forgiveness and love are the keys that finally unshackle him as he realizes his own self worth and asserts his right to an important and meaningful life. His writing style is poetic but easy to read, using powerful language and descriptive imagery to describe the ugliest of experiences and feelings. If Derek's experiences are the thorns, this book is the rose." -- Jean Perry News Editor, The Wanderer, Mattapoisett, MA
Book Synopsis Illusion Dweller by : Stimson Bullitt
Download or read book Illusion Dweller written by Stimson Bullitt and published by Mountaineers Books. This book was released on 2013-11-20 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “A lovely mix of recollections coupled with erudite reflections of an at-times almost too-openly-honest elder.” — Tom Hornbein, author of Everest: The West Ridge * A moving recollection of a life inspired by climbing and redeemed by nature * Stimson Bullitt came to climbing late in life, but with a passion that put him on rock well into his 80s * A memoir that teaches all of us something about aging with both power and grace Stimson Bullitt was born into a privileged and influential Seattle family, a position he did not always find comfortable. He showed his black-sheep tendencies when, after graduating from Yale University, he rode the rails to come back West, where he worked in Central Washington orchards and on a highway crew at Chinook Pass. Later he became a skilled lawyer, a champion of civil and environmental causes, and president of King Broadcasting, the communications empire built by his mother, Dorothy Stimson Bullitt. While he was always drawn to the mountains, it wasn’t until Bullitt reached his 50s and 60s that he sought challenges on North America’s formidable peaks, including Denali and Mount Rainier. Not until he was 70 did he take up rock climbing, but it became a match and foil for his passions and, at times, his inner demons. Illusion Dweller, named after a particularly hard-earned and difficult climb (5.10b) at Joshua tree, is Bullitt’s climbing memoir, published posthumously and based on his own detailed manuscript. He climbed until just before his death at age 89. His achievements serve as inspiration to climbers of any age — and to anyone striving to retain or acquire a spirit of adventure later in life.

Book Synopsis The Thirteenth Turn by : Jack Shuler
Download or read book The Thirteenth Turn written by Jack Shuler and published by PublicAffairs. This book was released on 2014-08-26 with total page 369 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The story of a rope, a symbol, and rough justice in America. The hangman's knot is a simple thing to tie, just a rope carefully coiled around itself up to thirteen times. But in those thirteen turns lie a powerful symbol, one that is all too deeply connected to America's past -- and present. The last man to be hanged in the United States was Billy Bailey, who was executed in Delaware in 1996 for committing a double murder. Even today, hanging is still legal, in certain situations, in New Hampshire and Washington. And the noose remains a potent cultural symbol. An incident in Jena, Louisiana, in 2006, in which nooses were used to menace black students, made national news. Yet little has changed: according to author Jack Shuler, there have been nearly 100 "noose incidents" just in the last two years. The Thirteenth Turn unravels these stories, from Judas Iscariot, perhaps the most infamous hanged man, to the killing of Perry Smith and Richard Hickock, the murderers at the heart of Truman Capote's In Cold Blood, and beyond. In his travels across America, Shuler traces the evolution of this dark practice. As he investigates the death of John Brown, or the 1930 lynching that inspired the song "Strange Fruit," he finds that the very places that perpetrated these acts now seek to forget them. Shuler's account is a kind of shadow history of America: a reminder that vigilantes and hangmen play a crucial role in our national story. The Thirteenth Turn is a courageous and searching book that reminds us where we come from, and what is lost if we forget.

Book Synopsis A Sense of the Whole by : Mark Gonnerman
Download or read book A Sense of the Whole written by Mark Gonnerman and published by Catapult. This book was released on 2015-06-09 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1997, Mark Gonnerman organized a yearlong research workshop on Gary Snyder's Mountains and Rivers Without End at the Stanford Humanities Center. Members of what came to be known among faculty, students, and diverse community members as the Mountains & Rivers Workshop met regularly to read and discuss Snyder's epic poem. Here the poem served as a commons that turned the multiversity into a university once again, if only for a moment. The Workshop invited writers, teachers and scholars from Northern California and Japan to speak on various aspects of Snyder's great accomplishment. This book captures the excitement of these gatherings and invites readers to enter the poem through essays and talks by David Abram, Wendell Berry, Carl Bielefeldt, Tim Dean, Jim Dodge, Robert Hass, Stephanie Kaza, Julia Martin, Michael McClure, Nanao Sakaki, and Katsunori Yamazato. It includes an interview with Gary Snyder, appendices, and other resources for further study. Snyder once introduced a reading of this work with reference to whitewater rapids, saying most of his writing is like a Class III run where you will do just fine on your own, but that Mountains and Rivers is more like Class V: if you're going to make it to take–out, you need a guide. As a collection of commentaries and background readings, this companion volume enhances each reader's ability to find their way into and through an adventurous and engaging work of art.

Book Synopsis The Lumberjack's Dove by : GennaRose Nethercott
Download or read book The Lumberjack's Dove written by GennaRose Nethercott and published by HarperCollins. This book was released on 2018-10-02 with total page 139 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the ingenious and vividly imagined narrative poem The Lumberjack’s Dove, GennaRose Nethercott describes a woodsman who cuts off his hand with an axe—however, instead of merely being severed, the hand shapeshifts into a dove. Far from representing just an event of pain and loss in the body, this incident spirals outward to explore countless facets of being human, prompting profound reflections on sacrifice and longing, time and memory, and—finally—the act of storytelling itself. The lumberjack, his hand, and the axe that separated the two all become participants in the story, with unique perspectives to share and lessons to impart. “I taught your fathers how to love,” Axe says to the acorns and leaves around her. “I mean to be felled, sliced to lumber, & reassembled into a new body.” Inflected with the uncanny enchantment of modern folklore and animated by the sly shifting of points of view, The Lumberjack’s Dove is wise, richly textured poetry from a boundlessly creative new voice.
