Download or read book Hangdog Days written by Jeff Smoot and published by Mountaineers Books. This book was released on 2019-03-01 with total page 391 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fast-paced history-cum-memoir about rock climbing in the wild-and-wooly ’80s Highlights ground-breaking achievements from the era Hangdog Days vividly chronicles the era when rock climbing exploded in popularity, attracting a new generation of talented climbers eager to reach new heights via harder routes and faster ascents. This contentious, often entertaining period gave rise to sport climbing, climbing gyms, and competitive climbing--indelibly transforming the sport. Jeff Smoot was one of those brash young climbers, and here he traces the development of traditional climbing “rules,” enforced first through peer pressure, then later through intimidation and sabotage. In the late ’70s, several climbers began introducing new tactics including “hangdogging,” hanging on gear to practice moves, that the old guard considered cheating. As more climbers broke ranks with traditional style, the new gymnastic approach pushed the limits of climbing from 5.12 to 5.13. When French climber Jean-Baptiste Tribout ascended To Bolt or Not to Be, 5.14a, at Smith Rock in 1986, he cracked a barrier many people had considered impenetrable. In his lively, fast-paced history enriched with insightful firsthand experience, Smoot focuses on the climbing achievements of three of the era’s superstars: John Bachar, Todd Skinner, and Alan Watts, while not neglecting the likes of Ray Jardine, Lynn Hill, Mark Hudon, Tony Yaniro, and Peter Croft. He deftly brings to life the characters and events of this raucous, revolutionary time in rock climbing, exploring, as he says, “what happened and why it mattered, not only to me but to the people involved and those who have followed.”
Download or read book Maggie Scratch written by Susana Gross and published by . This book was released on 2020-11-10 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Maggie ScratchSearching for seeds... How does a rebel from the Jewish suburbs of Philadelphia ultimately find a home in the Son of Moses Valley on the island of Ibiza? Maggie Scratch tells this story in three parts, each dedicated to a boyfriend, or husband. During 1979-1980, about to turn thirty-two, a self-styled columnist for The Ibiza News, Maggie reports current events from her century old farmhouse while reliving past adventures. From coming of age with H.G. Blumberg in the 60's in Elkins Park, Pa., to college in Boston in the 70's, to a teepee in the California redwoods with her Native American husband, P.P. Goldfeather, and then to a palapa in Mexico where she meets Izzy, Maggie explores the world. It is men she apparently pursues, but her best friend, Seneca Stone sums up Maggie with a metaphor: "Maggie Scratch searching for seeds." Maggie wonders if she will find a way to get pregnant or have to break up with Izzy, the charismatic painter, because of his vasectomy. While driven to plant a seed in herself, Maggie hears her grandmother's voice, "Certain paths are meant to be." She stumbles upon a man in a forest and wonders if he is meant to be...her stud. ABOUT THE AUTHOR Susana Gross grew up in Philadelphia where Harry Gross, her happy-go-lucky grandfather, gave her the nickname Maggie Scratch. In the late 70's Susana used the name for a weekly byline in The Ibiza News. Maggie Scratch's humoristic column Adventures with Paco offered readers offbeat stories of island life. Susana later moved to Barcelona where she worked as a scriptwriter for Spanish TV, creating sitcoms and pilots, while raising her daughter and re-writing the novel, Maggie Scratch, the first book of the upcoming The Maggie Scratch Trilogy. Throughout the 80's and 90's until the present, she has continued reporting the adventures of Maggie Scratch, spanning four generations from the USA to Spain and Mexico, and ending up in Southern France. Susana and Maggie share a blog (https://susanagross.wordpress.com) and Maggie Scratch has her own page on Facebook. One of Susana's readers once described their relationship, "She's the character that still lives within the author." REVIEWS"Maggie Scratch, the central character, explores relationships and all their foibles, across the years and across continents, before finally settling in Ibiza...What is fuelling her restlessness... Of course, the answer is not an easy one, she wants a child - and one can imagine what follows, in light of the fact this part of the book is based in Ibiza, island of 'anything goes'..." --Cat Milton, Ibiza Spotlight "Dreamy, sensuous and evocative: 'In the late evening, the earth cools down so loud I can hear it crack.' Maggie Scratch is filled with beautiful, contrasting images and situations. It is a synesthetic journey, a portrait of a time, of the people she finds while she builds and searches for her identity. A really powerful book!" --Gabriela Nadal, Barcelonogy "The book is a psychological jigsaw puzzle. While fitting the pieces together and fantasizing about how she will get pregnant, a surprise piece falls in Maggie's lap. Destiny? Or, Maggie wonders, are the pieces meant to be?" --Barcelona Metropolitan "Maggie's roller-coaster narrative goes down easy in Gross' clean and elegant prose. The book opens in the front seat of a Corvair, a signpost of what's to come: the reader is instantly passenger in a car that speeds, skids, halts, crashes and coasts along familiar and foreign roads. Whether Maggie reminds you of yourself, your mother, or someone you once saw, she is rendered with an openness and a tenderness that makes her as compelling and accessible as kin." --Winter Miller, playwright, In Darfur
Download or read book Having and Being Had written by Eula Biss and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2020-09-01 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A NEW YORK TIMES EDITORS’ CHOICE NAMED A BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR BY TIME , NPR, INSTYLE, AND GOOD HOUSEKEEPING “A sensational new book [that] tries to figure out whether it’s possible to live an ethical life in a capitalist society. . . . The results are enthralling.” —Associated Press A timely and arresting new look at affluence by the New York Times bestselling author, “one of the leading lights of the modern American essay.” —Financial Times “My adult life can be divided into two distinct parts,” Eula Biss writes, “the time before I owned a washing machine and the time after.” Having just purchased her first home, the poet and essayist now embarks on a provocative exploration of the value system she has bought into. Through a series of engaging exchanges—in libraries and laundromats, over barstools and backyard fences—she examines our assumptions about class and property and the ways we internalize the demands of capitalism. Described by the New York Times as a writer who “advances from all sides, like a chess player,” Biss offers an uncommonly immersive and deeply revealing new portrait of work and luxury, of accumulation and consumption, of the value of time and how we spend it. Ranging from IKEA to Beyoncé to Pokemon, Biss asks, of both herself and her class, “In what have we invested?”

Download or read book The Dark written by Claire Mulligan and published by Doubleday Canada. This book was released on 2013-05-21 with total page 539 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the deep of winter 1893, a briskly practical physician named Mrs. Mellon arrives at a New York tenement and takes up her duty to care for the aged, the indigent and the dying. Her patient in the garret, she decides, fits all three categories nicely -- that is, before she realizes she is in the presence of a most unusual lost soul: the charismatic Maggie Fox. Part mystery, part ghost story, part riveting historical fiction, The Dark ushers the reader into the shadowy border between longing and belief as it unfolds the incredible story of the famous and controversial Fox Sisters, Maggie, Katie, and Leah. In their heyday, the sisters purported to communicate with ghosts and inspired the Spiritualist Movement, a quasi-religion complete with mediums and séances and millions of followers. Now only Maggie is left alive, and Mrs Mellon is her lifeline to the world. Soon, with Mrs Mellon’s gentle prompting, the wry, black-witted, ever-ambivalent Maggie is revealing her family’s secrets. But is Mrs. Mellon her confessor, her saviour, her interrogator -- or the last person upon whom Maggie is working her finely honed art?
