A humorous yet sensible guide filled with motivating and surprising advice along with illuminating charts and graphs for runners who have a love/hate relationship with the sport.

Nobody gets tapped with a magic wand and suddenly has the ability to make great music, photos, films, writing, or any other kind of creative expression-they just try. And you probably should too."OK," you say. "But what about ________ ?"That's exactly what's in Make It: answers to all the reasons we give ourselves to not sit down and start working on our Real Art Thing. If you could use a polite but firm kick in the ass to get going, or just some reassurance that you're not the only would-be creative with a slight to moderate crisis of confidence, this book is for you: 50 illustrated micro-essays to get you through roadblocks at the beginning, middle, or end of your project, and onto the next one.

Welche Tagesverpflegung ist bei einem Ausflug optimal? Wie flicke ich einen Fahrradreifen? Und wie finde ich Feuerholz zum Grillen? Hier finden Sie die passenden Antworten! Mit rund 400 Techniken, Tipps, und Tricks, um souverän (fast) alle Herausforderungen zu meistern, stellt dieser praktische Outdoor-Ratgeber sicher, dass auch ein kompletter Outdoor-Frischling weder bei einer Bergwanderung noch beim Wildcampen verlorengeht. Und wenn es doch einmal zum Ernstfall kommen sollte, zeigt das Buch auch, wie man eine Wunde versorgt, eine topografische Karte liest oder eine Zecke richtig entfernt.

When your life plan explodes, you ask yourself the big questions: What do I really need in life? How can I make my life a work of art? Should I buy a house? Have kids? What is a life?Following in Kerouac and Steinbeck's tire tracks, a 32-year-old, post-breakup Brendan Leonard hits the road in search of healing and a new, post-economic-downturn American Dream. Sleeping in the back of a beat-up station wagon, he seeks answers-and hopefully, the occasional shower-in the postcard-worthy places of the American West. Part ballad to the romance of the road and part heart-searching treatise on the American Dream, The New American Road Trip Mixtape is Leonard's raw, often hilarious, barstool storytelling at its best.
