A Guide to Hiking, Camping, Fishing and Other Adventures

* Best hiking trails, campsites, fishing spots, paddle routes, beachcombing, and more
* Trip and activity options include related natural history information
* Includes Olympic National Park's spectacular 70-mile-long wilderness beach strip

A wild ocean snuggled up to a wild land in the furthest corner of our Lower 48 states--the Washington coast is a unique adventure destination and this new guidebook covers all 157 miles of it. Whether you're out for a single day of salt air and sand castles, or a week long backpack with surf lulling you to sleep at night, you'll discover your best options with Washington's Pacific Coast.

Author Greg Johnston has had a long and intimate relationship with this coast, and his voice is distinctive, passionate, often opinionated, and clearly knowledgeable. His authoritative guide provides detailed, fun, and family-friendly activities, as well as expansive information, history, and geology. (If Captain Cook passed by where you are, this guide will tell you--and make the trip feel all the more satisfying.) In addition to numerous hiking options--including some never-before-published trails--Greg covers every state park along the coast, other public parks, campgrounds, fishing and clamming spots, paddling options, and the best beachcombing destinations.

In addition to describing the abundant outdoor recreation opportunities, Johnston also delves into the rich cultural and natural history of the coast, as well as practical details such as tsunami preparedness, Leave No Trace practices, weather and ocean beach precautions, and more.

A Sailor's Extraordinary Solo Race Around the Globe

The Incredible Story Of The Fastest Woman To Sail Around The Globe Solo The Vendee Globe around-the-world sailboat race is sailing's ultimate challenge and the pinnacle of extreme sports--a single handed, nonstop race including 13,000 miles through the planet's most dangerous waters: the Southern Ocean that encircles Antarctica. Small wonder that fewer than half the boats that start a Vendee Globe race can finish it. Of those who don't, the luckier drop out; the rest are claimed by the sea. At 5 feet 2 inches tall and age 24, Ellen MacArthur was the smallest and youngest competitor in the 2000-01 Vendee Globe and one of just a handful of women ever to have attempted it. In an event dominated by older men of the elite French long-distance racing fraternity, she was a long shot even to finish. Yet on February 11, 2001, she finished second, and became the youngest sailor to complete the race, the first woman to earn a top-three placing, the fastest woman ever to sail around the world, and the second fastest person ever to do so alone. Her time of 94 days 4 hours 25 minutes shaved 11 days from the previous record. On the day Ellen reached the finish line off the French resort town of Les Sables d'Olonne, an estimated 200,000 people turned out to greet her, and her race website received 4.5 million hits. Her reception, and the media coverage, eclipsed that accorded the winner--the Frenchman Michel Desjoyeaux--the day before. Ellen's accomplishment transcended national boundaries.

A Parent's Guide to Understanding Your Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, Transgendered, or Questioning Son or Daughter

The first book to focus on the day-to-day experiences of adolescents dealing with sexual identity issues, Always My Child provides the insights and practical strategies parents need to support their kids and cope themselves.

Parents whose children are gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender or who are going through a "questioning phase" are often in the dark about what their children face every day. As a result, offering support that will comfort and fortify them feels like solving a puzzle with missing pieces.
In Always My Child, Kevin Jennings supplies the missing pieces by guiding parents through the world their child inhabits. He explains what these teens often encounter -- teasing and harassment -- and offers solutions for parents who want to better understand their LGBTQ children and learn how to protect their self-esteem. He offers advice, including how to:


 * Initiate constructive communication with their child
   
 * Respond effectively to frequently asked questions
   
 * Recognize depression and signs of drug abuse and harassment
   
 * Successfully advocate for their child's well-being outside the home
   



Always My Child makes it possible for parents to create the kind of relationship with their children that allows them to grow into emotionally healthy adults.

This exclusive Modern Library edition, excerpted from Plutarch's Lives, is a riveting tale of honor, power, scandal, and bravery written by the most eminent biographer of the ancient world.

I Hate Beilng Bipolar, but It Has Actually Helped Me Have a Great and Fulfilling Life

Oh, By the Way, I Have a Mental Illness¿By Michael Trzcinski My book examines my struggle with bipolar disorder. I was undiagnosed for years, finally got some help, and now hope to help some folks by describing my life, my mistakes and my growth. I believe my illness has a good side, it has contributed significantly to my ability to be creative, connect emotionally with people and give service. I wouldn't trade my adventures and accomplishments for anything. I raised money for, and helped build, a school in Indonesia where hundreds of bright-eyed kids of several faiths have been educated. I can stand in front of that school and say, This is something that actually makes a difference in the world. I've held several interesting jobs. I've evaluated hundreds of advanced technologies and helped commercialize several dozen of them.I worked as an operative for a U.S. government, doing undercover work overseas for a national security organization. I worked for NASA, where my boss said, Mike, I like the way you think. You think differently from everyone else here. I have mastered the trumpet and written more than 30 compositions and songs. I've learned several life lessons that I think are worth sharing. Above all, I want to help you see that people with mental illnesses are regular human beings. This is my story, my full story, no holds barred.
