Readers will be duly awed by his delicately layered story." -The New York Times Book Review In 1937, Adam Nicolson's father answered a newspaper ad for a small cluster of three islands-The Shiants (Gaelic meaning "holy" or "enchanted")-which lie east of the Outer Hebrides of Scotland. Sheer black cliffs drop five hundred feet into the cold, dark, rip currents of the Minch, lounging seals crowd at their feet and thousands upon thousands of sea birds swarm overhead in the sky. Nicolson inherited the islands when he was twenty-one... "Nicolson's chronicle is a fine book . . . Readers will be duly awed by his delicately layered story." -The New York Times Book Review |

Through the Valley of the Shadow
ISBN: 9781502583123 / Angielski / Miękka / 152 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Some people prefer to read novels but I've always enjoyed biographies. It seems to me that enough things happen in real life that are amazing, and stir the imagination sufficiently to inspire. My son Pete and I read the classic accounts of famous adventurers together; Shackleton, Shipton, Tilman, Herzog, Slocum, Cherry-Garrard, Lindbergh and Mawson. Some were written shortly after the particular events occurred, many of them were written years later. The ones that we particularly enjoyed showed incredible personal courage through epic hardship, "close calls" and frequently "one man against...

Past My 'Use-By' Date
ISBN: 9781482095999 / Angielski / Miękka / 502 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Two years ago I thought it would be a nice Birthday present to arrange the publishing of my father's autobiography - to say he was blown away was an understatement and the reaction I witnessed was monumental. Now most people would think that after getting their 80 year old dad's memoirs published that would be the end of it - obviously they didn't read the 1st edition We're 2 years down the road, my 82 year old (83 in 2 weeks) father is on leg two of a round the world kayak trip with his equally adventurous friend. He has sent me an update to his previous script that details the last few...
