DOWNLOAD EBOOKCNN correspondent Tom Foreman's remarkable journey from half-hearted couch potato to ultra-marathon runner, with four half-marathons, three marathons, and 2,000 miles of training in between; a poignant and warm-hearted tale of parenting, overcoming the challenges of age, and quiet triumph. As a journalist whose career spans three decades, CNN correspondent Tom Foreman has reported from the heart of war zones, riots, and natural disasters. He has interviewed serial killers and been in the line of fire. But the most terrifying moment of his life didn't occur on the job--it occurred at home, when his 18-year old daughter asked, "How would you feel about running a marathon with me?" At the time, Foreman was approaching 51 years old, and his last marathon was almost 30 years behind him. The race was just sixteen weeks away, but Foreman reluctantly agreed. Training with his daughter, who had just started college, would be a great bonding experience, albeit a long and painful one. My Year of Running Dangerously is Foreman's journey through four half-marathons, three marathons, and one 55-mile race. What started as an innocent request from his daughter quickly turned into a rekindled passion for long-distance running--for the training, the camaraderie, the defeats, and the victories. Told with honesty and humor, Foreman's account captures the universal fears of aging and failure alongside the hard-won moments of triumph, tenacity, and going further than you ever thought possible.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKA foreman set in his ways and a hardheaded journalist with a mind of her own can’t abide by the conditions set forth in her father’s will. But they also can’t abide with the notion of being in the same country, much less the same ranch. Foreman Lewis Sutton’s been like a son to Richard Reed. Except he’s not his son. So when Richard dies and Lewis has to contact his estranged daughters to come claim the ranch that Lewis loves, he’s left with a bitter taste in his mouth. Sure that the estranged princesses from the east coast will send a lawyer to sell the property, Lewis finds himself in the unenviable position of knowing he’ll lose the only home he’s ever known. Molly Reed’s got a good life in Baltimore. She’s just taken a position that she’s been pursuing for what seems like forever. A journalist spot. She’s been trying to get that job for so long, and she’s written her heart out to get it. She can’t even use her own name. She can’t even conduct interviews. She’s had to ask her friend Cory Weston to go to the interviews and ask the questions she comes up with while she plays secretary and takes notes. Cory’s in love with her, so he’d agree to just about anything. She tells Cory she’ll be back, and she has to go settle some affairs at her father’s ranch. She doesn’t know the conditions yet. Little do either Molly or Lewis know, the conditions of the will are that Richard’s daughters must live on the ranch for a year before doing anything with it. Then there are more conditions, but the lawyer won’t tell anyone what those are until the year is up.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKOne reviewer wrote, "I couldn't put the book down. I kept thinking, 'You go Girl' as the heroine took on one challenge after another." "Tough But Tender is a great read for all women and girls interest rested in adventure and leadership" was the comment of another. They were talking about the story of a young girl whose father wanted her to be born a boy. He called her Frances and taught her to be tough like a boy. Every thing cowboys on his cattle ranch knew how to do she, under his tutelage, could do better. But her mother insisted that she be sent back East, to Radcliff College, to learn to be a lady as well as a cowgirl, to be tender as well as tough. Four years later, as she stood in the graduating line she kept rehearsing her valedictorian remarks "Ladies our centuries of servitude are over. No longer will we choose only nursing and teaching as careers--worthy as those professions are. Nor will we be limited to being secretaries in the office and mothers in the home. We will walk abreast or ahead of men, not behind them. We will be the company Presidents of the future. Our husbands will work for us." As the story of Tough But Tender unfolds, she was challenged to make her prediction a reality in her own life. Frances dealt with one challenge after another: her minister refusing to preside over her parents' funeral because she had committed what he said was a sin by having their bodies cremated, her catching the murderers, the attempted foreclosure by the bank by refusing to honor her father's loans because she was a woman, the refusal of the cowhands to work for a woman, and an attempt to rustle her cattle and burn down the ranch house, a cross burning by the Klu Klux Klan to protest her hiring Mexican cowboys. The panic in the cattle business; the depression in the community, and her love life with a Spanish boyfriend whom she had known as a child. It all makes a story that one reviewer said is a real "page turner".

DOWNLOAD EBOOKFinalist for the 2017 Washington State Book Award in General Nonfiction / History The plaque said this was the winter fishing hut of Thurídur Einarsdóttir, one of Iceland's greatest fishing captains, and that she lived from 1777 to 1863. "Wait," anthropologist and former seawoman Margaret Willson said. "She??" So began a quest. Were there more Icelandic seawomen? Most Icelanders said no, and, after all, in most parts of the world fishing is considered a male profession. What could she expect in Iceland? She found a surprise. This book is a glimpse into the lives of vibrant women who have braved the sea for centuries. Their accounts include the excitement, accidents, trials, and tribulations of fishing in Iceland from the historic times of small open rowboats to today's high-tech fisheries. Based on extensive historical and field research, Seawomen of Iceland allows the seawomen's voices to speak directly with strength, intelligence, and - above all - a knowledge of how to survive. This engaging ethnographic narrative will intrigue both general and academic readers interested in maritime culture, the anthropology of work, Nordic life, and gender studies.
