Book excerpt: Looking for an original mid-life crisis to celebrate her 50th birthday, Esther Parry sold her house, quit her jobs, and flew to America with nothing but a backpack and plans to walk the Appalachian Trail. After finishing her undergraduate degree and the subsequent failure of her second marriage, she embarks upon a journey that turns out to be as much spiritual and emotional as it is physical. It's a journey of discovery...mostly discovering that she really, REALLY, hates rocks. Very soon it becomes obvious that the trail's description as "a bit rocky" is a ludicrous understatement. The relentless boulder fields become a pivotal feature of her journey and take her mental and physical endurance to its limit. The practicalities and dangers of trail life, and the challenging situations she encounters with complete naivety, are both amusing and sobering but it's her faith and the amazing kindness, hospitality and encouragement of complete strangers that carry her through.Honest and often funny, it will inspire you to find the courage to do 'that thing' that you never thought you could, but that you always dreamt you might.

Book excerpt: The Pulitzer Prize-winning view of the continent, across the fortieth parallel and down through 4.6 billion years Twenty years ago, when John McPhee began his journeys back and forth across the United States, he planned to describe a cross section of North America at about the fortieth parallel and, in the process, come to an understanding not only of the science but of the style of the geologists he traveled with.

Download or read book Rocks written by Joe Perry and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2014-10-07 with total page 432 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Joe Perry exposes his unrepentant, unbridled life as the lead guitarist of Aerosmith. He delves deep into his volatile, profound, and enduring relationship with singer Steve Tyler and reveals the real people behind the larger-than-life rock-gods on stage. The nearly five-decade saga of Aerosmith is epic, at once a study in brotherhood and solitude that plays out on the killing fields of rock and roll. With record-making hits and colossal album sales, Aerosmith has earned their place in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. But theirs is ultimately a story of endurance, and it starts almost half a century ago with young Perry, the rebel whose loving parents wanted him to assimilate, but who quits school because he doesn't want to cut his hair. He meets Tyler in a restaurant in New Hampshire, sways him from pop music to rock-and-roll, and it doesn't take long for the "Toxic Twins" to skyrocket into a world of fame and utter excess. From the mega-successful song and music video with Run DMC, "Walk This Way," to the realization that he can't pay his room service bill, Perry takes a personal look into the human stories behind Aerosmith, the people who enabled them, the ones who controlled them, and the ones who changed them.
