Book excerpt: “I wish I’d read this book before everything I went through.’ Sumeer, Part-time writer, full-time lover ‘Author may be exaggerating some stuff. Not everything has to be believed.’ Priya Jain, 100-meter specialist, bad at marathons ‘My favourite travel companion.’ Kanika Malhotra, Gypsy with a vintage car ‘If you know your destination, your speed would tell you the time needed to cover the distance. But what if the distance is zero and the destination is inside of you? How much time does it take then? More importantly, which vehicle do you choose?’ Maria, Sumeer, Kanika and Nigel embark on a similar journey at different points in their lives, to realise that love can have a different meaning for everyone, that no love can have a different meaning for everyone, that no love is greater than the other, and that love comes with possibilities, not limitations. Wandering Wheels is a gripping, stay-up-all-night treat to all the anxious souls trying to discover their places in this unfair yet beautiful world. It gives a lesson or two about unconditional love and forgiveness, incessant pain and liberation, and the serendipitous twists and turns fate brings in this journey called life, from one wheel to another.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Motoring unmasks the forces that shape the American driving experience--commercial, aesthetic, cultural, mechanical--as it takes a timely look back at our historically unconditional love of motor travel. Focusing on recreational travel between 1900 and 1960, John A. Jakle and Keith A. Sculle cover dozens of topics related to drivers, cars, and highways and explain how they all converge to uphold that illusory notion of release and rejuvenation we call the "open road." Jakle and Sculle have collaborated on five previous books on the history, culture, and landscape of the American road. Here, with an emphasis on the driver's perspective, they discuss garages and gas stations, roadside tourist attractions, freeways and toll roads, truck stops, bus travel, the rise of the convenience store, and much more. All the while, the authors make us think about aspects of driving that are often taken for granted: how, for instance, the many lodging and food options along our highways reinforce the connection between driving and "freedom" and how, by enabling greater speeds, highway engineers helped to stoke motorists' "blessed fantasy of flight." Although driving originally celebrated freedom and touted a common experience, it has increasingly become a highly regulated, isolated activity. The motive behind America's first embrace of the automobile--individual prerogative--still substantially obscures this reality. "Americans did not have the automobile imposed on them," say the authors. Jakle and Sculle ask why some of the early prophetic warnings about our car culture went unheeded and why the arguments of its promoters resonated so persuasively. Today, the automobile is implicated in any number of environmental, even social, problems. As the wisdom of our dependence on automobile travel has come into serious question, reassessment of how we first became that way is more important than ever.

Download or read book The Invisible Mountain written by Robert P. Vande Kappelle and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2010-09-01 with total page 174 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1989 Dr. Robert Vande Kappelle cycled solo cross-country. The 3,400-mile trip was the seed project for the Washington County (Pennsylvania) chapter of Habitat for Humanity. For forty-two days he went "Homeless for Habitat," placing himself and his personal needs in the hands of strangers he met along the way. At the beginning he cycled across some of the most mountainous--and spectacular--terrain in America. After he crossed the Rockies, a nagging headwind arose, which only intensified with time. That, coupled with a deteriorating bicycle--along one of the most desolate stretches of the journey--produced spiritual testing of epic proportions. He was tempted to compromise the integrity of the trek, then to quit the trek, and finally to curse his circumstances. He sensed he was climbing an invisible mountain, whose top could not be reached. After venting his anger and frustration, he discerned that tailwinds and flat terrain rarely evoke wisdom. Insight flows freely, however, from the watershed atop life's invisible mountains. The Invisible Mountain narrates the account of that trek. The story examines the trek as adventure, spiritual odyssey, and as metaphor for the journey of life. In the words of Millard Fuller, co-founder of Habitat for Humanity International and The Fuller Center for Housing: "Ride with [Bob Vande Kappelle] as you read. You will enjoy the trip and you will gain all sorts of insights . . . and perhaps most importantly, you will learn about yourself and grow spiritually as you experience vicariously the wonderful adventure of this 'journey of faith.'"

Book excerpt: Beyond the traditional purposes of moving people, goods, raw materials, and mail from place to place lies a world of unconventional uses of motor vehicles. Rolling grocery stores, churches, classrooms and health clinics have taken traditionally stationary services directly to those who need them. Companies have built vehicles in the shapes of their products (the Oscar Mayer Wienermobile being just one famous example) from the early years of automobiles. This lively history gives a fascinating overview of the many special purposes vehicles have served. The unconventional uses of motor vehicles stretch one's imagination. The author here divides them into eight types based on their purposes and uses. Sales vehicles support a successful sales volume; advertising vehicles retain present customers and attract new ones; education and training vehicles provide skills updates for employees; charity vehicles are used to serve various populations of the needy, suffering, and distressed; religious vehicles promote a particular faith; functional vehicles perform an on-the-spot function normally done by a fixed-base facility; multimodal vehicles have the ability to traverse land, water, and air; and government vehicles provide a host of services to constituencies. Examples are provided for each type of vehicle and examples from other nations besides the United States are included as well.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As a young man, David Winyard rode his bicycle from Oregon to Delaware with Wandering Wheels, an Indiana-based cycling organization.

In 2002, after years of preparation, Winyard set out on the same bike to duplicate his youthful experience with his oldest child, David Charles, then fourteen. At age 45, Winyard found the trip to be a much greater challenge than expected. The result, SHORE TO SHORE: A Father-and-Son Journey Across America, describes their adventure, including the surprising lessons learned before, during, and after their trip.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: his book is the life journey of a seventy-nine-year-old man who was asked by his grandchildren, “What did you do before you met Grandma?” He pondered the thought, intrigued by the question, and answered that he had done a thing or two they might be interested in: produced television programs, helped produce The Joy of Painting programs with Bob Ross, worked for President Nixon on a special project and with the woman who edited the original Jaws movie. When they sat there, eating dessert after Thanksgiving that day in 2017, their eyes rapt with attention, he fleshed out the stories a bit to see if they really were interested. They seemed to be, so he asked them, “If I wrote it down, would you read it?” “Oh yes, Grandpa,” they urged him. “Would you do that for us?” And that became the odyssey that is now this book. Grandpa Jim has been on television most of his life, tested his parents’ limits as a small child, fought with a skunk and lost, nearly lost his life several times by refusing to be an obedient child and driving too long multiple times when he was tired and going off the road. And as a nine-year-old, Jim and a friend dug a cave in a clay and sand field beside the Chicago and Eastern Illinois Railroad, switching yard near Chicago, where one day, the cave collapsed. Now, every time he sees his grandchildren, their plaintive cry is, “Are you finished with the book yet, Grandpa?” Fortunately, he lived to tell the cave-in story. But his misbehavior isn’t the focus. His off-again, on-again journey with God is the story, with many adventures and misadventures along the way. As an adult who has recommitted his life to Christ, Jim has been a Young Life Leader, an Adult Sunday School teacher, a Mission Committee Chair, Mission Team Leader, television producer, talk-show host, mentor, and Teacher of the Year for the TCOM—now MEDIA Department at a Major University. Most of all, for over forty-seven years, he has been learning to see God’s fingerprints wherever he goes, and you will too. It is an adventure worth joining and one you will never, ever forget.

Download or read book Heading Out written by Terence Young and published by Cornell University Press. This book was released on 2017-06-06 with total page 659 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Who are the real campers? Through-hiking backpackers traversing the Appalachian Trail? The family in an SUV making a tour of national parks and sleeping in tents at campgrounds? People committed to the RV lifestyle who move their homes from state to state as season and whim dictate? Terence Young would say: all of the above. Camping is one of the country's most popular pastimes—tens of millions of Americans go camping every year. Whether on foot, on horseback, or in RVs, campers have been enjoying themselves for well more than a century, during which time camping’s appeal has shifted and evolved. In Heading Out, Young takes readers into nature and explores with them the history of camping in the United States.Young shows how camping progressed from an impulse among city-dwellers to seek temporary retreat from their exhausting everyday surroundings to a form of recreation so popular that an industry grew up around it to provide an endless supply of ever-lighter and more convenient gear. Young humanizes camping’s history by spotlighting key figures in its development and a sampling of the campers and the variety of their excursions. Readers will meet William H. H. Murray, who launched a craze for camping in 1869; Mary Bedell, who car camped around America for 12,000 miles in 1922; William Trent Jr., who struggled to end racial segregation in national park campgrounds before World War II; and Carolyn Patterson, who worked with the U.S. Department of State in the 1960s and 1970s to introduce foreign service personnel to the "real" America through trailer camping. These and many additional characters give readers a reason to don a headlamp, pull up a chair beside the campfire, and discover the invigorating and refreshing history of sleeping under the stars.
