Opis

Is the idea of free beer too good to be true?

In the battle of boy versus squirrel, who will emerge victorious?

And just what could go wrong when a group of teens decides to wade a mile out, barefoot, in Utah's Great Salt Lake?

These questions and more are addressed in "Under Every Stone," a humorous and nostalgic look at one man's adventurous youth and travels.

From moral dilemmas, to perseverance, to serendipity and luck, this collection of fourteen true stories was carefully chosen from F.P. Nieman's repository of life experiences to reflect a wide range of different themes.

Born into poverty in the Saint Louis housing projects in 1957, Nieman's large family moved frequently during his childhood-instilling a sense of fearlessness and individualism at a young age. And while he didn't climb Mount Everest or explore the deepest seas, his unusual upbringing created a thirst for the adventures that would one day comprise this book.

The result? Plenty of youthful shenanigans, displays of daring determination, and spontaneous, bold actions that will inspire readers to live every day as if it is their last.
