Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Wales, 1990. Kevan Bevan has forgotten his homework, which means another rollicking. But while sheltering from a storm he is suddenly transported back in time one whole day. Now he has another chance to get his homework in, but it won’t be easy; aside from multiple Kevans, shady henchmen, tornadoes, time-loops, chases, wormholes, crashes and the end of the universe as we know it, Kevan needs to impress the girl he fancies while contending with the school bully. Looming over Valley Hill - “Bumptown” to the locals - is the headstock of the abandoned coalmine, a constant reminder of the disaster below ground that touched the whole town 30 years before. The Bevan family’s past is closely tied to this tragedy, and Kevan’s future is bound up in it too – in order to complete his homework Kevan must delve into family memories and a grief that has passed down generations. Can Kevan break the cycle of his family’s silent sorrow? Will he win the heart of the girl he likes? Will he and his bezzy mate Anish thwart the school bully? And is it worth risking the Universe to avoid a grounding?
Download or read book Two Wheels Good written by Jody Rosen and published by Crown. This book was released on 2023-06-13 with total page 417 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A panoramic revisionist portrait of the nineteenth-century invention that is transforming the twenty-first-century world “Excellent . . . calls to mind Bill Bryson, John McPhee, Rebecca Solnit.”—The New York Times Book Review (Editors’ Choice) ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR: The New Yorker The bicycle is a vestige of the Victorian era, seemingly at odds with our age of smartphones and ride-sharing apps and driverless cars. Yet we live on a bicycle planet. Across the world, more people travel by bicycle than any other form of transportation. Almost anyone can learn to ride a bike—and nearly everyone does. In Two Wheels Good, journalist and critic Jody Rosen reshapes our understanding of this ubiquitous machine, an ever-present force in humanity’s life and dream life—and a flash point in culture wars—for more than two hundred years. Combining history, reportage, travelogue, and memoir, Rosen’s book sweeps across centuries and around the globe, unfolding the bicycle’s saga from its invention in 1817 to its present-day renaissance as a “green machine,” an emblem of sustainability in a world afflicted by pandemic and climate change. Readers meet unforgettable characters: feminist rebels who steered bikes to the barricades in the 1890s, a prospector who pedaled across the frozen Yukon to join the Klondike gold rush, a Bhutanese king who races mountain bikes in the Himalayas, a cycle-rickshaw driver who navigates the seething streets of the world’s fastest-growing megacity, astronauts who ride a floating bicycle in zero gravity aboard the International Space Station. Two Wheels Good examines the bicycle’s past and peers into its future, challenging myths and clichés while uncovering cycling’s connection to colonial conquest and the gentrification of cities. But the book is also a love letter: a reflection on the sensual and spiritual pleasures of bike riding and an ode to an engineering marvel—a wondrous vehicle whose passenger is also its engine.
