Download or read book Switchbacks written by Sid Marty and published by National Geographic Books. This book was released on 2001-02-08 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Switchbacks, Sid Marty draws on his own memories and those of friends and former colleagues in relating a series of true mountain tales. Among his subjects are: the old guide who built a staircase up a cliff; the stranded snowshoer who was rescued between rounds of beer in a Banff tavern; the man who catered to hungry grizzlies; an opinionated packrat with a gift for larceny; and a horse named Candy whose heart was as big as a stove. Along the way, Marty tries to answer the kind of questions that all of us must face some day. Do we really have to “grow up” and abandon adventure as well as youthful ideals? Can the mountains draw old friends back together, when politics and life styles have set them apart? Sid Marty writes gracefully of the land he loves and lampoons a few bureaucrats whose policies sometimes threaten its integrity. His portraits of the people – and creatures – that make their lives in the mountains are affectionate and respectful. But, above all, this is a collection of engaging, surprising, funny, and superbly told true stories by a gifted writer.

Download or read book Slope Move written by Hanna Andrews and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Poetry. Second Edition. "SLOPE MOVE is a poem in three parts that travels--through Berkeley, Iowa, Illinois--a sort of reverse migration. The you and I are in a relationship that is all about motion, all about refusing to rest, and much of this book, as a result, takes place in the spaces of travel: at a Motel 6, in an airplane, in traffic. It is through this motion that SLOPE MOVE is attentive to the quaking that makes everyone in relation to everyone else."--Juliana Spahr"SLOPE MOVE is bittersweet indeed: a thorny junction between emotion, image, situation, abstraction. Discomfort hides (in plain sight) in details which ground the lyricism and allow complexity to the narrative. The birds are noticed, aren't they."--Thalia Field"Hanna Andrews's poems are so open to revelation that their aha moments, their pivots, sometimes take place mid-word. In SLOPE MOVE, words proceed with a kind of faith that makes them foreshadow what comes next, like little prophets. Lines contain within themselves ghosts, or maybe seedlings, of future versions of themselves. So an earlier phrase is haunted, or maybe germinated, by a later version of the same. The configuration, the reconfiguration, seeking to find its right frame, is part of how what is human slips into Andrews's poems, part of how these poems start to act like life, like a beautiful person thinking."--Kathryn Cowles"Andrews turns to the sonic qualities of language as a source of unity, coherence, and structure. We are made to experience the materiality of each line, offering us stanzas that crack, sizzle, and hum. What's intriguing about SLOPE MOVE is that relationships need not be made to fit within any preconceived conceptual framework. Rather, they emerge organically as she utilizes the repetition of sounds to forge connections between disparate images, ideas, and types of language. [Andrews] calls upon her reader to 'connect the dots,' to learn a new way of inhabiting language."--Kristina Marie Darling

Book Synopsis Best Hikes Near Seattle by : Peter Stekel
Download or read book Best Hikes Near Seattle written by Peter Stekel and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2015-05-01 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Best Hikes Near Seattle is more than a guidebook to trails 60 minutes or 60 miles from Seattle. The book also includes short natural history essays on topics as diverse as the sex life of banana slugs, to how plants get their names, and why you should respect but not fear bears and mountain lions. There is also an extensive section of weather, trail etiquette, hiking with dogs, what constitutes the “Ten Essentials,” why judging trail mileage is an art – not a science, the flora and fauna of the Pacific Northwest, and the value of hikers lobbying for wilderness. The author also presents a history, warts and all, of the drive to operate our hiking trails as profit points for land-use agencies. And of course, as with all of the books in the Best Hikes series, useful trail specs and hike summaries are accompanied by easy-to-read maps and stunning photos.
Book Synopsis Principles of Economics by : Kristen Case
Download or read book Principles of Economics written by Kristen Case and published by . This book was released on 2019-03-27 with total page 67 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Poetry. Women's Studies. PRINCIPLES OF ECONOMICS is a series of interconnected elegies for the poet's former partner and her father, who died within 6 months of each other. The elegies engage other texts, including The Iliad, Chopin's Ballades, Shakespeare's sonnet 15, Milton's Paradise Lost and an economics textbook, as they seek to sound out routes between the present and the past. The book's central interest in music is derived from the sense that musical structure is above all else a way of manipulating our experience of time. In the inchoation central to grief, these poems find possibilities for living in a changed time, a present overlaid with or in counterpoint to the past: a thicker time, in which the dead also are.
