Waymaking is an anthology of prose, poetry and artwork by women who are inspired by wild places, adventure and landscape. Published in 1961, Gwen Moffat's Space Below My Feet tells the story of a woman who shirked the conventions of society and chose to live a life in the mountains. Some years later in 1977, Nan Shepherd published The Living Mountain, her prose bringing each contour of the Cairngorm mountains to life. These pioneering women set a precedent for a way of writing about wilderness that isn't about conquering landscapes, reaching higher, harder or faster, but instead about living and breathing alongside them, becoming part of a larger adventure. The artists in this inspired collection continue Gwen and Nan's legacies, redressing the balance of gender in outdoor adventure literature. Their creativity urges us to stop and engage our senses: the smell of rain-soaked heather, wind resonating through a col, the touch of cool rock against skin, and most importantly a taste of restoring mind, body and spirit to a former equanimity. With contributions from adventurers including Alpinist magazine editor Katie Ives, multi-award-winning author Bernadette McDonald, adventurers Sarah Outen and Anna McNuff, renowned filmmaker Jen Randall and many more, Waymaking is an inspiring and pivotal work published in an era when wilderness conservation and gender equality are at the fore.Show book
Five generations of Marnie O. Mamminga’s family have been rejuvenated by times together in Wisconsin’s Northwoods. In a series of evocative remembrances accompanied by a treasure trove of vintage family photos, Mamminga takes us to Wake Robin, the cabin her grandparents built in 1929 on Big Spider Lake near Hayward, on land adjacent to Moody’s Camp. Along the way she preserves the spirit and cultural heritage of a vanishing era, conveying the heart of a place and the community that gathered there.Bookended by the close of the logging era and the 1970s shift to modern lake homes, condos, and Jet Skis, the 1920s to 1960s period covered in these essays represents the golden age of Northwoods camps and cabins—a time when retreats such as Wake Robin were the essence of simplicity. In Return to Wake Robin, Mamminga describes the familiar cadre of fishing guides casting their charm, the camaraderie and friendships among resort workers and vacationers, the call of the weekly square dance, the splash announcing a perfectly executed cannonball, the lodge as gathering place. By tracing the history of one resort and cabin, she recalls a time and experience that will resonate with anyone who spent their summers Up North—or wishes they had.Show book

The opinions expressed are not necessarily those of anyone involved in the production of this book, and are not the views of LibriVox.Dale Ahlquist calls the book a "philosophical travelogue" of Chesterton's journey across Europe to Palestine. "On the road to Cairo one may see twenty groups exactly like that of the Holy Family in the pictures of the Flight into Egypt; with only one difference. The man is riding on the ass." "The real mistake of the Muslims is something much more modern in its application than any particular passing persecution of Christians as such. It lay in the very fact that they did think they had a simpler and saner sort of Christianity, as do many modern Christians. They thought it could be made universal merely by being made uninteresting. Now a man preaching what he thinks is a platitude is far more intolerant than a man preaching what he admits is a paradox. It was exactly because it seemed self-evident, to Muslims as to Bolshevists, that their simple creed was suited to everybody, that they wished in that particular sweeping fashion to impose it on everybody."

'One of the funniest books of the year' - Paul Ross, talkRADIO WARNING: CONTAINS AN UNLIKELY IMMIGRANT, AN UNSUNG COUNTRY, A BUMPY ROMANCE, SEVERAL SHATTERED PRECONCEPTIONS, TRACES OF INSIGHT, A DOZEN NUNS AND A REFERENDUM. Not many Brits move to Poland to work in a fish and chip shop. Fewer still come back wanting to be a Member of the European Parliament. In 2016 Ben Aitken moved to Poland while he still could. It wasn't love that took him but curiosity: he wanted to know what the Poles in the UK had left behind. He flew to a place he'd never heard of and then accepted a job in a chip shop on the minimum wage. When he wasn't peeling potatoes he was on the road scratching the country's surface: he milked cows with a Eurosceptic farmer; missed the bus to Auschwitz; spent Christmas with complete strangers and went to Gdansk to learn how communism got the chop. By the year's end he had a better sense of what the Poles had turned their backs on - southern mountains, northern beaches, dumplings! - and an uncanny ability to bone cod. This is a candid, funny and offbeat tale of a year as an unlikely immigrant.Show book
Are you looking for an introduction to Walt Disney World Resort? Have you been to Disney World, but things have changed or you're looking for some new tips? Maybe when you look at a guidebook or visit a website, it's kind of like drinking water from a fire hose - too much information and too little introduction. An introduction should be brief - not giving you hundreds of pages full of every detail. This book will introduce you to Walt Disney World Resort: the parks, types of hotels, dining, tickets, and a lot of tips and tricks. This isn't a guidebook that tells you about every ride, every resort and what to order at every restaurant. Instead, this guidebook is an introduction. So, if you aren't looking for the War and Peace version of a Walt Disney World Resort guidebook, then you've come to the right place. *** Will this be the only guidebook you'll ever need? Probably not. Think of this guidebook as a gateway to your destination. Maybe you'll want to read restaurant reviews online or visit Disney travel websites to learn about current vacation discounts. Use this book as a way to know what to look for. Use this book as a way to know what questions to ask. Use this book like an introductory college course. This book will introduce you to the four major theme parks: Magic Kingdom, Epcot, Hollywood Studios, and Animal Kingdom. This book will introduce you to the two water parks: Blizzard Beach and Typhoon Lagoon. This book has sections on dining, hotels, other entertainment, tickets, promotions, crowd sizes, Fastpass+, Magic Bands, how to get there, how to get around once you're there, and more! So, what are you waiting for - it's time to get introduced to Walt Disney World Resort! *** Here are some tips found in the book: DINING TIP: "You can purchase many things that aren't listed on the menu. Consider asking for an entrée without the side that is listed with it. You might even be able to order a slice of bread or a slice of bacon on the side." BOOKING HOTELS: "You can also book Disney hotels through online booking sites such as Expedia or Orbitz. While these sites don't offer packages with tickets, they often offer similar room-only discounts when Disney World is running promotions. A great tip is that sometimes these online booking sites have coupon codes that offer a percentage off your booking. Some people even have rewards dollars or credits that they can use with online booking sites." USING FASTPASS+: "Be aggressive when using the My Disney Experience app to select additional Fastpasses once your original three are done. Never give up on a certain ride or a certain time. People are always changing their Fastpasses which makes Fastpass availability change every second. Therefore, you can refresh the available Fastpasses by selecting different times at the top of the screen. It is possible that rides that aren't available at all now will be available the next minute."Show book
