Duren Jones loves hiking wilderness trails. He gets out as often as he can, and enjoys taking friends and…
family on his explorations. Most of those who have joined his adventures still talk to him. He has hiked hundreds of trails in the American West, has summited all of the 54 Colorado 14,000 ft. peaks (now on his second round with his granddaughter), and has trekked the nearly 500 miles of the Colorado Trail's 28 segments from Denver to Durango.

Par P. J. O'Rourke. 2011
P.J. O'Rourke is one of today's most celebrated political humorists, and has been hailed as "the funniest writer in America"…
by both Time and The Wall Street Journal. Two decades ago he published the classic travelogue Holidays in Hell, in which he traversed the globe on a fun-finding mission to what were then some of the most desperate places on the planet, including Warsaw, Managua, and Belfast.In Holidays in Heck, P.J. embarks on supposedly more comfortable and allegedly less dangerous travels—often with family in tow—which mostly leave him wishing he were under artillery fire again. The essays take O'Rourke on a whirlwind of adventures, beginning at the National Mall in Washington, which he describes as having been designed with the same amazing "greatest generation" aesthetic sensibility that informed his parents' living room. We follow him as he takes his family on a ski vacation (to the Aspen of the Midwest—Ohio—where the highest point of elevation is the six-food ski instructor that his wife thinks is cute). And later he experiences a harrowing horseback ride across the mountains of Kyrgyzstan.The result is a hilarious and often moving portrait of life in the fast lane—only this time as a husband and father.Fish in the Dark: A Play

Par Ray Bennett. 2006
Lower the bar. Turn it down a notch. Get off the Stairmaster. The Underachiever's Manifesto is the playfully persuasive pocket…
guide to living life to the least and loving it. With sharp humor and genuine wisdom, this welcome little book extols the fabulous benefits of underachievement in our overextended society. A witty introduction makes the case for the right amount of effort--a lot less than we've been led to believe. Ten principles of underachievement establish the basics (#8: The tallest blade of grass is the surest to be cut); and practical applications show how mediocrity is the key to happiness at work, in relationships, dieting, exercise, investment, and more. Devilishly enlisting examples from philosophy, economics, science, and good common sense, The Underachiever's Manifesto is a lighthearted, life-changing rallying call for those who dare to do less and enjoy more.Where can I shop for toys knowing they aren't teeming with lead paint?

ever find a safe, leak- and shatter-proof sippy cup? 2010's Spit That Out The Overly Informed Parent's Guide to Raising Children in the Age of Environmental Guilt answered many of the questions posed by mothers on the verge of a "green mom nervous breakdown. " But when it comes to new studies, new worries, and new resources for greener parenting, it can be a daily struggle to keep up. Over the past year, Paige Wolf has used her blog and social media to engage readers and experts, answering questions on everything from leaching plastics and phony farm stands to organic dairy discounts. The updated edition of Spit That Out includes new information and insights on some of the past year's personal and universal developments. In the current edition, you will find the story of Paige's transition to cloth diapers, an updated discussion of plastics, and a comprehensive list of hand-picked resources to make green living more practical, manageable, and affordable. As a new mother, Paige Wolf has been committed to living an eco-friendly and healthy lifestyle. And as an advocate for green living and owner of an eco-friendly public relations company, it has been especially important for her to "walk the walk" and be especially conscious of her choices. But with the flood of constantly changing information, it can become an increasingly impossible task. Parents in the 21st century have to deal with myriad concerns and information overload, the likes of which past generations never imagined. In addition to the age-old daunting task of raising happy, healthy babies, we are constantly bombarded with new and contradictory research concerning environmental toxins, long-term product effects, and the far-reaching impact of every product we purchase and decision we make. Spit That Out turns to experts in pediatrics, environmental advocacy, science, holistic health, and humanitarianism to present facts, debunk myths, and help parents stay on a reasonable and responsible course without losing their minds. The mothers themselves also offer anecdotes and advice on staying sane in an ever-changing landscape of conscientious parenting. Chapters include "Green Mom Sanity Tips," "Dollar-Savvy Sustainability Tips," and "Parent-to-Parent Pointers" from real moms who have been in the trenches of eco-anxiety. Real moms confess "eco-sins" and share solutions to everyday dilemmas. In addition to "everyday moms," comedians, authors, and actresses like Tammy Pescatelli, star of WE TV's "A Stand Up Mother"; Lisa Landry from Comedy Central's "Standup Showdown"; "Orange is the New Black" actress Alysia Reiner; Amy Wilson, actress and author of When Did I Get Like This?; Vicki Glembocki, author of The Second Nine Months; and Abby Sher, author of Amen, Amen, Amen: Memoir of a Girl Who Couldn't Stop Praying (Among Other Things) find humor in the journey from overwhelming madness to solace and sanity. Whether they are cloth-diapering, holistic mamas or moms who still can't give up their designer duds, all modern mothers can relate to the desperation of wanting to do the best for their children - and feeling hopelessly overwhelmed in the process. Spit That Out feeds an audience of mothers hungry for commiseration, direction, and relief.This Is Ridiculous This Is Amazing: Parenthood in 71 Lists

Par T. R. Todd. 2018
“The Bahamas are famous for sun, sand—and swimming pigs.” —National GeographicIn the middle of paradise, with billionaires and celebrities for…
neighbors, is an island populated only by swimming pigs. For decades, this archipelago of 365 islands would remain largely unknown to the world. It would not be a ruthless pirate, pioneering loyalists, a notorious drug kingpin, or the infamous Fyre Festival that would unveil Exuma to the world, but rather the most unlikely of creatures. Appearing in magazines, videos, newspapers, commercials, TV shows, and countless selfies, the Swimming Pigs of Exuma, in the Bahamas, have become a bucket-list sensation and have been named one of the marvels of the universe. But how did they reach this celebrity status? What made them so famous? And why, in February 2017, did so many of them die? Pigs of Paradise is an unlikely story of humble beginnings and a swift rise to stardom. With interviews from historians, world-renowned ecologists, famous pig owners, and boat captains, it thoughtfully considers what this phenomenon says about not only these animals but also about us.Cat High: The Yearbook
