Publisher's Summary:

Although the kappa-maki, a slim cucumber roll, is a vegetarian standby on sushi menus all over the globe, few realize that it is named for a folkloric water sprite whose reputation was never as innocuous as his namesake dish. Once thought to inhabit the rivers of Japan, the kappa was known for all sorts of waterside evil, from pranks on farm animals to drownings of children. Only one talisman could ward off a kappa: a cleverly wielded cucumber. The malicious imp could be appeased by a cucumber thrown downstream, with the name of a family member carved onto it. But eating a cucumber before swimming was considered a deadly mistake.

Publisher's Summary:

While visiting a Brooklyn church whose subterranean tunnels were part of the Underground Railroad, I came across an arresting painting. It was a copy of an 1860 oil painting by Eastman Johnson called The Freedom Ring, and showed a young slave girl in a red coat. That same year, the congregation at the Plymouth Church of the Pilgrims in Brooklyn Heights, led by pastor Henry Ward Beecher (and brother of activist Harriet Beecher Stowe), had raised enough money to buy her freedom. A caption said the original painting was owned by Hallmark Cards Inc. of Kansas City, Missouri.

Publisher's Summary:

The Philadelphia Zoo is pretty small. Over the past couple of years, to help some of its residents stretch out a bit, the zoo has started installing what they call an "animal exploration trail system" - a network of corridors and tubes that critters can use to crawl, swing, and stroll between enclosures. Visitors, naturally, love it - they can watch monkeys strut and skitter above their heads. Zookeepers like it, too: it hits all the sweet spots of textbook animal enrichment, offering their charges room to roam, environmental variety, and personal choice.

Title: How a 4-Year-Old's Letter to His Father Survived the Civil War

Publisher's Summary:

At first glance, its hard to see why New York's Gilder Lehrman Institute of American History would hold the above letter in its collection. The yellowed paper holds a few lines of loops that look to have been lazily scribbled in pencil - the kind of thing you might doodle out of boredom when a call center operator places you on hold. The catalog entry lists its contents as "Mostly illegible scribbles."

Members Reviews:

My favorite line is "dehydration can kill you faster than starvation

I'm not going through the hassle of trying to get my money back. I agree with the previous review. I could have wrote this in 10 mins on the toilet copying and pasting info from the net. My favorite line is "dehydration can kill you faster than starvation, and it is not a pleasant way to go out." No kidding! Don't waste your money!

If you are looking into getting into backpacking, are an experienced backpacker who wants to sharpen their survival skills, or want to know how to create the perfect bug-out bag just in case the zombie apocalypse is real, then look no farther because this is the perfect book for you. Monefa always does an excellent job of researching his topics and writing in an esy to understand and approachable style. Great work!

Crap

Book was 11 minutes of reading for 3.99, it was a set up for his other books. I want my money back. I could have written this much info sitting on the toilet.

Title: Squirrel Pie (and Other Stories)

Subtitle: Adventures in Food Across the Globe

Author: Elisabeth Luard

Narrator: Sian Thomas

Format: Unabridged

Length: 11 hrs and 31 mins

Language: English

Release date: 07-14-16

Publisher: Audible Studios for Bloomsbury

Ratings: 3 of 5 out of 3 votes

Genres: Travel & Adventure, Adventure & Exploration

Publisher's Summary:

Elisabeth Luard, one of the food world's most entertaining and evocative writers, has travelled extensively throughout her life, meeting fascinating people, observing different cultures and uncovering extraordinary ingredients in unusual places.

In this enchanting food memoir, she shares tales and dishes gathered from her global ramblings. With refreshing honesty and warmth, she recounts anecdotes of the many places she has visited: scouring for snails in Crete, sampling exotic spices in Ethiopia and tasting pampered oysters in Tasmania. She describes encounters with a cellarer in chief and a mushroom king and explains why stress is good news for fruit and vegetables and how to spot a truffle lurking under an oak tree.

Divided into four landscapes - rivers, islands, deserts and forests - Elisabeth's stories are coupled with more than 50 authentic recipes, each one a reflection of its unique place of origin, including Boston bean-pot, Hawaiian poke, Cretan bouboutie, mung-bean roti, roasted buttered coffee beans, Anzac biscuits and Sardinian lemon macaroons.

Critic Reviews:

"Sacrilegious to say it but Elizabeth Luard even beats Elizabeth David. Exquisite writing and wonderful food, and funny too." (Prue Leith)

"Elisabeth Luard proves that no matter where you are, there is food to be gathered, or hunted, or found. Squirrel Pie is a beautifully written tribute to food that has all but vanished from our everyday lives." (Alice Waters)

Members Reviews:

Terrible.

Narration jumps all over the place. Poorly written and edited. Good performance by the narrator.

La Sagrada Familia è uno dei simboli della Spagna e della città che la ospita, Barcellona.

È il capolavoro di Antoni Gaudì, uno dei più influenti e innovativi architetti del XX secolo. Entrare nella Sagrada Familia è come entrare in una foresta fantastica e surreale, con luci e colori sistematicamente organizzati per far immergere il fedele in un luogo di meditazione e preghiera.

Members Reviews:

Six good books in a row

Of course all his other books rock as well. But for self there is no competition. Like self help is a competition. I can say some stupid things. Thanks again Hugh

Excellent

As with the previous books in the Wayfinding series, I loved this entry. HH is such an excellent writer, and the tone is comforting and conversational - the advice and knowledge he is sharing is like having lunch with a good friend. The views he expresses may not always be breakthroughs (as in something we haven't heard before) but the way it is stated made little light bulbs go on in my head like "aha, THATS what that means." These books have been life changing for me, honestly, as I have tried implementing some of HH advice into my day to day routines. I look forward to future entries... and when its complete I see myself reading them all again.

Thought-provoking and entertaining at the same time.

I totally binge read the first 6 books in this series (and I'm twiddling my thumbs waiting for more)

Incredibly thought-provoking. Hugh has a fantastic way of distilling the information down to easy to understand concepts and consequences that make it easy to apply to my own situations.

(I will admit that sometimes I skip to the end to read his mariner tale first :)

This Series Just Keeps Getting Better

Another great addition in a series that just gets better and better and has covers featuring the author in sexier and sexier poses:) If you or someone you know suffers from depression, this book isn't a cure-all, but it's a great addition to your arsenal. As with the other books, there's lots of great practical advice and food for thought. I haven't suffered from real depression that last longer than an afternoon in years, but back when I did I put together a strategy similar to what Hugh Howey outlines here.

Bullets for The Fight

Another great entry into the series. This time Hugh tackles depression, explaining his view on it as one that developed as a survival method, and how we can battle it whenever it rears its ugly head.
