A touching and inspiring tale of the Texan pioneering spirit, English eccentricity, and two women old enough to know better.
When Susie Kelly decides, on a whim, to trek alone across France from La Rochelle to Lake Geneva, she entrusts her French farmhouse full of assorted animals to a total stranger from San Antonio, Texas. For each of them it will be a life-changing experience. Both will find their resourcefulness and ingenuity tested to the limit as, in their own ways, they explore and enjoy the culture, cuisine and people of Europe’s most fascinating country.
While Texan Jennifer Shields copes heroically with lost dogs, erratic electricity, old men hiding in bushes, and a language she cannot speak, Susie doggedly tramps 500 miles over unknown terrain, frequently lost and either too hot or too cold.
Armchair travellers will enjoy this tale of laughter and tears following the adventures of two women old enough to know better.

“You need know absolutely nothing about baseball to appreciate the wit, snap, economy . . . and incisiveness of [Moneyball]. Lewis has hit another one out of the park.” —Janet Maslin, New York Times Billy Beane, the Oakland A’s general manager, is leading a revolution. Reinventing his team on a budget, he needs to outsmart the richer teams. He signs undervalued players whom the scouts consider flawed but who have a knack for getting on base, scoring runs, and winning games. Moneyball is a quest for the secret of success in baseball and a tale of the search for new baseball knowledge—insights that will give the little guy who is willing to discard old wisdom the edge over big money. |

Arguably America's most famous nonconformist, Thoreau lived at Walden Pond from July 1845 to September 1847, chronicling his experiences there. It was an experiment in living a life unhindered by social trappings and tradition. His work was not widely renowned for years after his death, but later became a staple in modern culture, defining not only what it means to be an American, but what it means to be human. Come see where the idea of marching to the beat of a different drummer originated. Walden is a classic and essential reading. |

Over the course of the last five years, Tim Tebow established himself as one of the greatest quarterbacks in the history of college football and a top prospect in the NFL. During that time he amassed an unparalleled resume—winning two BCS national championships, becoming the first sophomore in NCAA history to win the Heisman trophy, and in the face of massive public scrutiny, being drafted in the first round of the NFL draft by the Denver Broncos. Now, in Through My Eyes, Tebow brings readers everywhere an inspirational memoir about life as he chose to live it, revealing how his faith and family values, combined with his relentless will to succeed, have molded him into the person that he is today. As the son of Christian missionaries, Tebow has a unique story to tell—from the circumstances of his birth, to his home-schooled roots, to his record-setting collegiate football career with the Florida Gators and everything else that took place in between. At every step, Tebow's life has defied convention and expectation. While aspects of his life have been well-documented, the stories have always been filtered through the opinions and words of others. Through My Eyes is his passionate, firsthand, never-before-told account of how it all really happened. |

Each year, millions of people take up running and jogging for its simplicity, freedom, and the many health benefits it provides.
At the same time, many people also give up on running, and themselves, because of the lack of good information, or contradictory information. They find running too intimidating, or are plagued with small injuries due to running unprepared. Running Inspired is a no-nonsense, methodical breakdown of the basics of running and, more importantly, the mental and physical training that will help to keep someone running.
If the key to running inspired could be summarized, it would be: Have Faith . . . We could call this dedication, but people are dedicated to their jobs, their families, to paying their mortgages . . . dedication implies a duty or act that must be performed. After running for awhile we will find (faith) that running brings with it a certain freedom and inspiration that a gym, elliptical machine, or treadmill can’t even come close to . . . it is then that wonderful things begin to happen, and we begin to run inspired.
This book has everything you need to get off the couch and start running. The beginner runner will discover how to:
• Run with good form for maximum efficiency and to avoid injury.
• Build a powerful mental training program that includes a running journal and visualizations.
• Select the right shoes and gear for different conditions and weather.
• Eat simply, with suggested menu items.
• Get past embarrassment and being self-conscious.
• Prevent and treat common running injuries.
• Find support and encouragement in the running community.
• AND MUCH, MUCH MORE.
With four detailed training schedules for every age and ability, Running Inspired will help anyone who is thinking about running not only get started, but keep running once they have started. Whether going out for a first run, training for race day, or improving times, this book has something for everyone from beginners to more accomplished runners. |

The year is 1969... a time when the youth of America is standing up to its elder rulers, when minorities are demanding their fair share of the American pie. A time when an eternal war fought for misbegotten motives and fueled by a continuous stream of some of the most outrageous lies ever fed to a people by its leadership over the previous eight years continues to gut an entire generation. A time when the old values, the old expectations, the old imperatives are knocked flat.
Seen through the eyes of 21 year old college senior John Cassell, always out of money and soon to be out of college, it is a saga of coming of age at a time when the younger generation accepted very little of the old yardsticks and Thou-Shalt-Nots which traditionally helped that process along.
Based on a true story, and the stories of others, the book follows the young man into the year 1969 as he struggles with the decisions expected of him by elders and demanded of him by life. |
