The Devil's Teeth
Summary
Travel 30 miles north, south, or east of San Francisco city hall and you'll be engulfed in a landscape of thick traffic, fast enterprise, and $6 cappuccinos. Venture 30 miles due west, however, and you will find yourself on what is virtually another planet: a spooky cluster of rocky islands called the Farallones. Journalist Susan Casey was in her living room when she first glimpsed this strange place and its resident sharks, their dark fins swirling around a tiny boat in a documentary. These great whites were the alphas among alphas, the narrator said, some of them topping 18 feet in length, and each fall they congregated here off the northern California coast. That so many of these magnificent and elusive animals lived in the 415 area code, crisscrossing each other under the surface like jets stacked in a holding pattern, seemed stunningly improbable and irresistible. Casey knew she had to see them for herself. Within a matter of months she was in a 17-foot Boston Whaler, being hoisted up a cliff to face onto the barren surface of Southeast Farallon Island, part of the group known to 19th-century sailors as the "Devil's Teeth". There she joined the two biologists who study the sharks, bunking down in the island's one habitable building, a haunted, 120-year-old house spackled with lichen and gull guano. Less than 48 hours later she had her first encounter with the famous, terrifying jaws and was instantly hooked. Curiosity yielded to obsession, and when the opportunity arose to return for a longer stay she jumped at it. But as Casey readied herself for shark season, she had no way of preparing for what she would find among the dangerous, forgotten islands. The Devil's Teeth offers a rare glimpse into the lives of nature's most mysterious predators, and of those who follow them. Here is a vivid dispatch from an otherworldly outpost, a story of crossing the boundary between society and an untamed place where humans are neither wanted nor needed. PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your Library section along with the audio.

A Highly Unlikely Bicycle Tourist
Summary
A highly unlikely bicycle tourist Many an incredible story may have been told about young courageous men and women cycling the globe in search of adventure, covering vast distances at speed each day with not a care in the world, sleeping wherever they could pitch a tent or find someone willing to give them a free meal and bed for the night. Well, this incredible story is a little different. It is a story about a 350-pound middle-aged, disabled, working-class husband and father. I was never a regular cyclist, and I knew nothing about bicycle maintenance and repair. And yet, without a single day of bicycle touring practice, I loaded up my shiny new bike with everything I thought I’d need and cycled out of Cheshire to see the world. Solo, self-financed, with no support network and without any fixed route plan other than, “I’m going that way.” What could go wrong? I wondered. Bicycle Touring Bicycle touring is often referred to as cycle touring, bike touring, and bikepacking. However, bikepacking usually involves travelling ultra-light. Bicycles and other pedal-powered vehicles, as well as electric-assist, are perfect for exploring the world at just the right speed and in any way you choose. A day out or a long weekend, with an organized tour group or partner. On a shoestring or healthy budget. Travel as your fitness will permit, for as far and for as long as you wish. There are no rules, and you don’t have to love cycling or be a regular cyclist to love touring. Info Fourteen chapters about a far from typical bicycle touring adventure Organic reviews. No pre-launch reviews, no paid for reviews, and no review swaps Kindle and Paperback versions with 70 high-resolution images are also available

The Whole Truths You Should Know Before You Travel to the Philippines: Second Edition
Summary
This book was written from an American perspective. The author believes that the Philippines, as a country, is an island paradise that has been tarnished by several deadly Islamic terrorist groups and organized-crime syndicates. This book provides you with reliable and up-to-date information on places in the Philippines that are deadly to foreign visitors where a great number of them have been kidnapped, brutally beaten, and killed. The author believes that you should be a well-informed traveler for your own safety and security in the Philippines.On the one hand, the book lists some of the safest tourist spots where you can enjoy your stay and have memorable moments; on the other hand, it alerts you of the illegal organ trade, which constitutes a grave danger to foreign visitors. You will learn, among other things: Why kidnapping for ransom is such a lucrative business in the Philippines What you should know about deadly deeds of some taxi drivers in the Philippines Some places that should be classified "off-limits" to foreign visitors and why the travel industry keeps quiet about it How to avoid being car jacked in the Philippines And much more. Additionally, the author lets you in on some secrets and techniques you will not find or read anywhere else, which makes this book unique and authentic. If you set your eye on a Filipino woman or women, before your relationship gets serious you should be fully aware of the following factors that really matter in your relationship with your Filipino woman, such as the "Age Factor", the "Many Babies Factor", the "Pregnancy factor", and the "Pawn shop Factor". Many foreign nationals have made some regrettable and irreparable mistakes in marrying Filipino women just to realize afterward that they should have known these factors before tying the knot. Why should you make the same mistake? This book can help prevent these unwanted and dreadful mistakes. The book also teaches you "how to make a woman agree with you nearly all the time", "how to detect con artists who pose as legitimate Filipino female pen pals", "how to connect with and seduce a Filipino woman successfully online and in person", and among others, "how to outsmart online Filipino female con artists". The author presents a specific list of places which are a breeding ground for kidnapping; therefore, he strongly recommends that these areas in the Philippines should be off-limits to foreigners. The warnings that he has listed in this book are not intended to deter the listener from traveling to the Philippines; on the contrary, he encourages them to visit with their loved-ones and friends, provided that they get relevant, unbiased, and truthful information about places to stay away from. He feels an obligation, as a foreign national himself, to share with them some hard and plain truths that they need to know before they travel to the Philippines, so they can enjoy their stay with confidence and peace of mind. If this book has contributed in helping to save a life from the terrorists and bandits, then that would be, as he put it, his utmost satisfaction.

Vancouver
Summary
Named after George Vancouver, the British explorer who sailed down the Pacific Coast to Burrard Inlet in 1792, Vancouver is one of the world's great natural harbors. The downtown area is flanked on three sides by ocean with Burrard Inlet to the north that extends eastward for miles to Port Moody. English Bay sits to the west of downtown and False Creek to the south. The Fraser River flows from northern British Columbia into the ocean just south of False Creek and the airport, located on Sea Island, one of many islands at the mouth of the Fraser River, is only a few feet above sea level. Vancouver is also a city of mountains that, on a clear day, are visible from the entire city. The luxurious homes of North and West Vancouver wash up onto them. At night, the ski hill on Grouse Mountain shines like a constellation. Just beyond the “lions”, the two prominent bumps that look more like the ears of a lion, is Whistler, one of the world's most prestigious ski resorts. Highlighting this geographical gem is the lush vegetation that thrives in the city's temperate rain forest climate. But Vancouver is more than scenery and outdoor sports. The town is world-known for its first-rate ethnic restaurants, its trendy bars and its high-end fashion shops. There are more ethnic groups and languages spoken in Vancouver than any other city in the world. The oldest nationalities by far are the Coastal First Nations groups that have dotted the shores of the Pacific all the way to Alaska for the last 3,000 years.

One for the Road
Summary
"A high-spirited, comic ramble into the savage Outback populated by irreverent, beer-guzzling frontiersmen." (Chicago Tribune) "A fascinating insight into what we're all about on the highways and byways along the outback track." (The Telegraph, Sydney) Swept off to live in Sydney by his Australian bride, American writer Tony Horwitz longs to explore the exotic reaches of his adopted land. So one day, armed only with a backpack and fantasies of the open road, he hitchhikes off into the awesome emptiness of Australia's outback. What follows is a hilarious, hair-raising ride into the hot red center of a continent so desolate that civilization dwindles to a gas pump and a pub. While the outback's terrain is inhospitable, its scattered inhabitants are anything but. Horwitz entrusts himself to Aborigines, opal diggers, jackeroos, card sharks, and sunstruck wanderers who measure distance in the number of beers consumed en route. Along the way, Horwitz discovers that the outback is as treacherous as it is colorful. Bug-bitten, sunblasted, dust-choked, and bloodied by a near-fatal accident, Horwitz endures 7,000 miles of the world's most forbidding real estate, and some very bizarre personal encounters, as he winds his way to Queensland, Alice Springs, Perth, Darwin - and a hundred bush pubs in between. Horwitz, the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of two national best sellers, Confederates in the Attic and Baghdad Without a Map, is the ideal tour guide for anyone who has ever dreamed of a genuine Australian adventure. "Lively, fast-paced and amusing...a consistently interesting and entertaining account." (Kirkus Reviews) "Ironical, perceptive and subtle...will have readers getting out their maps and itching to follow Horwitz's tracks... The internal journey is his finest achievement; he allows the reader into his heart, to go travelling with him there, sharing his adventures of the spirit." (Sunday Times, London)

Travels in an American Imagination
Summary
Is our era both the most wondrous and the most horrific time ever to be alive in the history of the human race? Award-winning travel journalist Lee Foster thinks so. His audiobook, Travels in an American Imagination: The Spiritual Geography of Our Time consists of 25 essays, in which Foster evokes a place in his worldwide travels and then addresses the spiritual geography of our era. Foster's work has won eight Lowell Thomas Awards, the highest accolades in travel writing, including him being named Travel Journalist of the Year (Silver Winner). More than 200 of his worldwide coverages can be seen at fostertravel.com. Foster suggests that a balanced perception of modern life, with sufficient imagination, can enable a modern person to live in a healthy, constructive manner and not be overwhelmed by pessimism or despair. Modern life is defined by the constant media or actual-life barrage of polar positive and negative experiences on the average informed person. Those seeking an inner peace need to balance these assaults on their sensibilities through a deeper understanding of the current human drama. Foster views modern life with an unflinching clarity. For example, in his chapter "Brazil: The Decline of the Environment," he describes the experience of walking in a perishing rain forest with its irreversible loss of species. Yet Foster balances this encounter with the wondrous, as in "Canaveral: The Adventure of Space Flight," in which he celebrates that we put a man on the moon, no small feat, in his lifetime.
