Review:This book tells MC's early years. From his medical studies, when he wrote novels using pseudonyms to support himself to some of his adventures, some you wouldn't imagine.
If you like his books, you should read this one to get to know him a little bit more even though it is a pretty old book, he should write a newer Bio. Read more

Review:This is a gorgeous book with a wonderfully put together list of places to travel. Having been to a few of these, I can say they truly deserve a space on the list. This book definitely gives me major wanderlust. It would be an excellent coffee table book or gift for any intrepid traveller, or really for anyone that appreciates the diversity of beautiful places throughout the world. HOWEVER, my book arrived with several blank pages, I'm assuming due to a printing error. Destinations #4, 5, 7, 8, 1... Read more

Review:A good Ken Burns view of our National Parks. Lots of how they came to be and what's there. But not really meant to be a tourist's guide. I think a good book to read before going but not necessarily a guide as to what to see. Nevertheless a good reference about one of the US most profound uses of its land, something that does not happen in any other country or continent, rivaled only by Africa Read more

Review:Should be called "Appalachian Scam."Bunch of drivel. This guy at a young age hikes the AT and now knows all there is to know. Cannot stand his approach of putting tons of pressure on yourself to complete it so you don't have to do the "walk of shame." What a bunch of crap. Save your money Read more

Review:Wonderful writing, illustrations, photos. Great reading for anyone loving Susan Branch or anyone getting to know her. She takes her readers on a voyage to England and all that is wonderful about Englsnd. Read more

Review:a collection of short stories published by Krakauer in the 80s, this book is entertaining and easy to read. not at the level of "into thin air" and "into the wild", but still worth reading if you are a krakauer fan! Read more

Review:This is a thrilling movie about one mans fight and win to survive. He was NUTS to climb this mountain. He's a very lucky man. It's a great movie showing what being in peak physical condition can allow a person to survive. I would recommend ths movie to hikers and non hikers alike. Read more

Review:So these guys want to have an adventure. Great idea. Then they decide somebody else should pay for the trip, because god forbid they spend their own money. Then they decide a company should give them bikes to do the trip, because god forbid they use their own bikes. Then they take a support crew...

It has interesting parts about people they meet and such that kept me interested. However, I was lost on the whole "adventure" aspect because everything was laid out for them / paid for / p... Read more

Review:I am a qualified Nutritionist and Naturopath and I appreciate reading books that are rich in meaningful information. I bought this book because I had increasingly noted that the concerns we have about table salt are unfounded. So I decided to do some research. To get a good handle on salt, I needed to go back in time (hence this book) to understand the use of salt throughout history, and then relate that to more recent studies that were conducted.

There were as many studies claiming salt... Read more

Review:This book is great for gamers, dreamers, fantasy-lovers, young folks, old folks-- anybody who's wants to turn their life around. If you want to take your life back, this book helps reverse stigmatizing mindsets that keep us in an office job for more hours than we can handle. It is relatable, conversational, an easy but sophisticated read. I read a self help book every week and this is my favorite by far! Read more
