Book Synopsis The High Sierra by : Kim Stanley Robinson
Download or read book The High Sierra written by Kim Stanley Robinson and published by Little, Brown. This book was released on 2022-05-10 with total page 714 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A “sublime” and “radically original” exploration of the Sierra Nevadas, the best mountains on Earth for hiking and camping, from New York Times bestselling novelist Kim Stanley Robinson (Bill McKibben, Gary Snyder). Kim Stanley Robinson first ventured into the Sierra Nevada mountains during the summer of 1973. He returned from that encounter a changed man, awed by a landscape that made him feel as if he were simultaneously strolling through an art museum and scrambling on a jungle gym like an energized child. He has returned to the mountains throughout his life—more than a hundred trips—and has gathered a vast store of knowledge about them. The High Sierra is his lavish celebration of this exceptional place and an exploration of what makes this span of mountains one of the most compelling places on Earth. Over the course of a vivid and dramatic narrative, Robinson describes the geological forces that shaped the Sierras and the history of its exploration, going back to the indigenous peoples who made it home and whose traces can still be found today. He celebrates the people whose ideas and actions protected the High Sierra for future generations. He describes uniquely beautiful hikes and the trails to be avoided. Robinson’s own life-altering events, defining relationships, and unforgettable adventures form the narrative’s spine. And he illuminates the human communion with the wild and with the sublime, including the personal growth that only seems to come from time spent outdoors. The High Sierra is a gorgeous, absorbing immersion in a place, born out of a desire to understand and share one of the greatest rapture-inducing experiences our planet offers. Packed with maps, gear advice, more than 100 breathtaking photos, and much more, it will inspire veteran hikers, casual walkers, and travel readers to prepare for a magnificent adventure.

Book Synopsis One Hand for Jenny by : Stanley Sieja Jr.
Download or read book One Hand for Jenny written by Stanley Sieja Jr. and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2014-05-07 with total page 327 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We are sometimes given works to do that we do not understand the meaning there-of, nor do we know the how, or the why, that we believe that we are given to accomplish these works. The meaning and the way remain unclear unto us, and yet we have the conviction that this is what we are being asked to do. This, then, becomes our journey of faith. My journey of faith has been travel. For three decades I crossed the oceans, deserts, mountains, and jungles of this world. I sailed the seas, flew the skies, and traversed the land without sponsors or fanfare; traveling this world perhaps as no other has before. One Hand for Jenny is the account of one of my travels; that of sailing around the world alone. I hope you enjoy this voyage.

Book Synopsis Canada's Holy Grail by : Jordan B. Goldstein
Download or read book Canada's Holy Grail written by Jordan B. Goldstein and published by University of Toronto Press. This book was released on 2021-11-01 with total page 342 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1892, Lord Frederick Arthur Stanley donated the Dominion Hockey Challenge Cup – later known as the Stanley Cup – to crown the first Canadian hockey champions. Canada’s Holy Grail documents Lord Stanley’s personal politics, his desire to affect Canadian nationality and unity, and the larger transformations in Anglo-liberal political thought at the time. This book posits that the Stanley Cup fit directly within Anglo-American traditions of using sport to promote ideas of the national, and the donation of the cup occurred at a moment in history when Canadian nationalists needed identifying symbols. Jordan B. Goldstein asserts that only with a transformation in Anglo-liberal thought could the state legitimately act through culture to affect national identity. Drawing on primary source documentation from Lord Stanley’s archives, as well as statements by politicians and hockey enthusiasts, Canada’s Holy Grail integrates political thought into the realm of sport history through the discussion of a championship trophy that still stands as one of the most well-known and recognized Canadian national symbols.
