Book excerpt: A native of Long Island, New York, Pete Young first grew cannabis on the roof of a friend’s apartment building when he was fifteen years of age. A fascination with marijuana cultivation quickly followed, with Young mastering the specifics of HID lighting, hydroponics, water polymers, genetics, organic fertilization, soil mix, outdoor growing and seed generation. After permanently relocating to southwestern Ontario in the late-1980s, Young took part in one of the first constitutional challenges to Canada’s drug laws following a police raid on the Great Canadian Hemporium, a head shop in London, Ontario. Around this time, Young befriended a young man whose severe cystic fibrosis was aided by one thing only – marijuana consumption. Young started growing marijuana for medical users, and over the next twenty years became one of the biggest producers and distributors of illicit medical marijuana in Canada. A once-frequent contributor to High Times magazine, and a regular medal winner at the international Cannabis Cup, Young has had to overcome every obstacle facing the guerilla grower, including crop theft, forest fire, police arrest, bankruptcy, home invasion, physical assault and, perhaps most intimidating of all, hungry male deer. In 2015, Young stepped onto the right side of the law when he was named master grower at Indiva, a licensed, government-sanctioned producer of medical marijuana. Riveting, funny and unsparingly truthful, Master Grower recalls one man’s transformation from renegade gardener to boardroom participant, a high-octane voyage that also captures the way in which a culture’s attitude toward its illegal substances can, and will, evolve.

Excerpt: ...Variety is the paramount feature of the route. In the first instance the road itself, apart from the windings on the zigzags, takes many directions. Starting due east, it runs to the south-east towards Pieve di Livinallongo, beyond which it veers round to the north-east, and, continuing almost due north to the summit, it addresses every point of the compass on the zigzags. At the summit it turns due east again, but, when a few kilometres above Cortina, it winds northwards once more, then turns east, south, and east again into Cortina itself. To the frequent change of outlook which the road itself necessarily confers, there is added the amazing variety of the mountains themselves, which display more diversity of shape than in any other district of the Alps--some nobly massive, some wonderfully symmetrical, and others ruggedly fantastic. The crossing of the pass, in fact, is a liberal education in outlines. In the degree of outlook itself, moreover, there is great variety; at one point the road is almost hemmed in by adjoining hills, while at another a panorama of immense range unfolds itself. The road surface is good throughout, though at the time of my crossing it was not quite settled at the sides; at the same time there was nothing on the ascent itself which in any way interfered with the freedom of one's progression. In the way of habitations, as I have said, there is little to intercept the gaze, but high above Andraz stands the picturesque ruin of Buchenstein Castle. Four kilometres from the summit is the Dolomitenziel Inn, above which is a curiosity in the shape of a "hairpin" corner which is pierced through a rock tunnel, and it is after passing through this that there comes into view one of the finest prospects of the...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The High-Roads of the Alps: A Motoring Guide to One Hundred Mountain Passes From the first tour to the last I have felt the need of practical information, in concrete form, of a kind which the road tourist may seek in vain in the standard guide-books. They ignore the road route whenever there is a railway within measurable distance; and, when a Pass must needs be described because it is the sole link between two valleys, the vital questions of width, gradients, corners and surface quality are never vouchsafed a single line. In a word, then, this volume is designed to meet a want - a want which is the more pressing now that the power and efficiency of the modern car have made England seem small, and all low land touring grounds only too familiar. If there is one place on earth where the tireless qualities of the motor-car may justify themselves, it is on the long-drawn but glorious ascent of an Alpine Pass. The very fact that horsed locomotion, Where rises of ten or twenty miles are concerned, being taken of necessity rather than choice; but there is nothing nowadays to prevent the easy, safe and systematic exploration of mountain routes by car, and the amassing of a huge fund of delightful experiences.

Download or read book The Alps written by Ronald Clark and published by A&C Black. This book was released on 2011-10-28 with total page 285 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The unrivalled scenery of the Alps attracts increasing numbers of visitors every year, while for those who seek the more active and dangerous pursuits of climbing and skiing, the region offers unique opportunities. Ronald Clark, a distinguished historian of mountaineering, who knows the Alps from end to end, describes the history of the mountains and their most famous peaks. The heroic story of their exploration, first by scientists, then by such early mountaineers as Whymper, Coolidge, Miss Brevoort and their guides, is related with extensive quotations from letters, diaries and contemporary records. With the mountaineers came the pioneer photographers whose cumbersome but fragile equipment had to be manhandled up ice-slopes and across glaciers to enable them to take their photographs, a procedure which necessitated hours of intricate manoeuvring, in freezing weather, to obtain one successful shot. Other chapters discuss the development of the Alps as a mountain health centre, the coming of roads and railways and the growth of the winter sports industry and Mr Clark warns that the mountains, like a Highland deer forest, can carry only a certain number of living creatures without facing disaster.
