Ghiglieri, author of Canyon, Over the Edge, and First Through Grand Canyon “Represents the best in humorous outdoors writing and the lowest in guide culture.” —John Weisheit, co-founder of Colorado River Guides and Conservation Director of Living Rivers River wisdom postulates that there are two kinds of boaters: Those who have flipped and those who will. Most of the contributors to this anthology fall into the former category. You will find stories of rafters, canoeists, kayakers, and dory men. You will meet two brave youths swimming the entire Grand Canyon, a bear hitching a ride in a boat, naked canoeists, egg-slinging river guides, a floating turkey, and rangers assassinating a goat. You will witness epic wrecks, strange games and vehicles, and tourists getting lost on the river. They are all here: The misfits and misanthropes, the dreamers and daredevils, weekend warriors and professional guides, nataphobes and bibliophiles, “established voices” and undiscovered gems. Hell’s Half Mile is likely to become a classic in the genre of humorous adventure writing. ________ Michael Engelhard works as an outdoors instructor and river guide on the Colorado Plateau. He is the author of an essay collection, Where the Rain Children Sleep, and has contributed to a number of magazines. His most recent project is a book of stories about the western horse.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle.

But it happened. Doug wilder's stunning upset election as Lieutenant Governor of Virginia in 1985 marks a milestone in the South: Not only was Wilder the first black to win a statewide election in Virginia, he became the first black to win a statewide executive office in the South since Reconstruction. Wilder became the nation's highest-ranking black elected official -- and a serious contender for governor, an office that no black anywhere has ever won. Now one of the journalists who covered the 1985 campaign tells the behind-the-scenes story of how Wilder pulled off his remarkable upset. "When Hell Froze Over" offers a rare glimpse of how politics really works. -- From publisher's description.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A classic reference book that has been used by millions all over the world, Roget’s International Thesaurus is the product of more than a century and a half of continual expansion, reorganization, and improvement. Today this book is not only the most time-tested and bestselling thesaurus ever, but, newly revised, it is also the most up-to-date and comprehensive reflection of the English language as it is currently used. The revolutionary achievement of Dr. Peter Mark Roget’s first edition in 1852 was the development of a brand-new principle: the arrangement of words and phrases according to their meanings. Dr. Roget’s system brings together in one place all the terms associated with a single thought or concept; it allows a wide-ranging survey of language within a book of relatively modest size, without the space-consuming repetitions that so severely limit the scope of thesauruses arranged in a dictionary format with A-to-Z entries. This brilliant organization makes Roget’s International Thesaurus both the most efficient word finder and a cutting-edge aid in stimulating thought, organizing ideas, and writing and speaking more clearly and effectively. This revised and updated seventh edition features thousands of new words and phrases, including the newest slang words and expressions that color and inform everyday language. At the same time, it retains all the hallmarks that have made Roget’s International Thesaurus the most popular word reference book next to the dictionary.
