DOWNLOAD EBOOKWilliam O. Douglas was one of that rare mix of man that helped define America, a judge of the supreme court and also a lifelong outdoorsman. This is his story in his words and conveys the joy he felt for the wild untouched vastness of the great forests and the high snow capped peaks which he pitted himself against. Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. We are republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKWith its massive faces, punishing rocks, and treacherous currents, Maverick's presents a surfing challenge like no other. Author Matt Warshaw has updated his critically acclaimed illustrated history of Maverick's to cover important recent developments, and we've added a fresh new cover to kick this edition off in style. "A fascinating account," to quote Surfer magazine, it takes "a cue from Sebastian Junger's The Perfect Storm...Warshaw focused on a single event...and expands on it to illuminate an entire culture and its world beyond waves." The event was the death of celebrated surfer Mark Foo, one of those who congregate every winter to test themselves in the dark, foreboding waters. And what unfolds in Maverick's is no less than the story of big-wave surfing, from its ancient Hawaiian origins to modern tow-in riders. It's a book to be enjoyed not only by those who surf deep in the waves, but also by those whose taste for adventure is satisfied deep in the pages of a very good book.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKIt's 1942 and Salim, a young hardworking man, has spent eight long years in the coal mines to make his biggest dream a reality. With money in his pocket, he purchases one hundred acres of fertile farmland. He believes he is a rich man and is content to toil on his farm. But his simple life becomes complicated when he meets the young Selma, who lives on a nearby ranch with her elderly father. A feud develops when rival farmer Kadir Toprak pursues both Salim's land and his new love, Selma. This rivalry passes from one generation to the next when the building of a railroad dissects Salim's land. It's possible that Salim might have the final solution to the decades-old conflict between the two men and their families. Telling the saga of a man fighting for his home, his family, and his way of life, the title novella in this earthy collection is joined by four other short stories-including "Love With a Ghost," "Lost," "To Be on the Road (When the Cat Decides)," and "Children of Destiny"-all revealing the simple but meaningful lives of inhabitants of small villages where the culture is rooted in family life and the land.
