A Walk in the Woods [Secure eReader (recommended)/Mobipocket/Microsoft Reader/Adobe Reader 7]
by Bill Bryson
|
|
 A Walk in the Woods is a laugh-out-loud account of an outrageously rugged hike by a beloved comic author. Bill Bryson decided in 1996 to walk the 2,100-mile Appalachian trail. Winding from Georgia to Maine, this uninterrupted "hiker's highway" sweeps through the heart of some of America's most beautiful and treacherous terrain. Bryson risked snake bite and hantavirus to trudge up unforgiving mountains, plod through swollen rivers, and yearn for cream sodas and hot showers. This amusingly ill-con... more info>> (Published: 2003)

by Richard Grant

|
 Twenty miles south of the Arizona-Mexico border, the rugged, beautiful Sierra Madre mountains begin their dramatic ascent. Almost 900 miles long, the range climbs to nearly 11,000 feet and boasts several canyons deeper than the Grand Canyon. The rules of law and society have never taken hold in the Sierra Madre, which is home to bandits, drug smugglers, Mormons, cave-dwelling Tarahumara Indians, opium farmers, cowboys, and other assorted outcasts. Outsiders are not welcome; drugs are the primary... more info>>

by Peter Nichols

 In 1968, nine sailors set off on the most daring race ever held: to single-handedly circumnavigate the globe nonstop. It was a feat that had never been accomplished and one that would forever change the face of sailing. Ten months later, only one of the nine men would cross the finish line and earn fame, wealth, and glory. For the others, the reward was madness, failure, and death. In this extraordinary book, Peter Nichols chronicles a contest of the individual against the sea, waged at a time b... more info>> (Published: 2007)

His previous excursion along the Appalachian Trail resulted in the sublime national bestseller A Walk in the Woods. In A Sunburned Country is his report on what he found in an entirely different place: Australia, the country that doubles as a continent, and a place with the friendliest inhabitants, the hottest, driest weather, and the most peculiar and lethal wildlife to be found on the planet.

On the Water [Secure eReader (recommended)/Mobipocket/Microsoft Reader/Adobe Reader 7]
by Nathaniel Stone

Discovering America in a Rowboat. "I take a stroke and lean back, gazing up into the jet skies, bejeweled by the moon and the galaxies of stars. The hull glides in silence and with such perfect balance as to report no motion. I sit up for another stroke, now looking down as the blades ignite swirling pairs of white constellations of phosphorescent plankton. Two opposing heavens. 'Remember this,' I think to myself." Few people have ever considered the eastern United States to be an island, but wh... more info>> (Published: 2002)

As mysterious as its beautiful, as forbidding as it is populated with warm-hearted people, Syberia is a land few Westerners know, and even fewer will ever visit. Traveling alone, by train, boat, car, and on foot, Colin Thubron traversed this vast territory, talking to everyone he encountered about the state of the beauty, whose natural resources have been savagely exploited for decades; a terrain tainted by nuclear waste but filled with citizens who both welcomed him and fed him--despite their o... more info>> (Published: 2007)

Rough Guides Directions Venice, 1st Edition [Secure eReader (recommended)/Microsoft Reader]
by Rough Guides

Founded 1500 years ago on a cluster of mudflats in the centre of a lagoon, Venice rose to become Europe's main trading town between the West and the East, and at its height controlled an empire that stretched from Italy to Cyprus. The melancholic mood of the city is in part a product of the discrepancy between what Venice used to be, and what it has become: in effect, all of central Venice is one colossal sight, and you'd have a great time if you were to spend your days here just wandering the a... more info>>
