Over the Edge: A Regular Guy's Odyssey in Extreme Sports

Sports & Outdoors

Extreme Sports

Macmillan General* Reference

One day a few years ago, Michael Bane put down his remote control and picked up a whole new way of living that risked dying almost every day. He entered the world of extreme sports -- kayaking off waterfalls, diving in underwater caves, marathoning in Death Valley -- and has never looked back. Over the Edge is the gripping tale of his adventures tackling 13 risky sports. It details the physical and mental preparation, the participation in these punishing yet exhilarating endeavors, and the arrival at the realization that this climb, flight, or dive might be his last. But he s survived so far to tell his tale, and it's an engrossing read. Not a guide book, a sourcebook, or a how-to, Over the Edge is a regular guy's journey to the edge and back.

Over the Edge: An Odyssey in Extreme Sports

"White Boy Singin' the Blues" is both a musical history of Memphis, the city which gave birth to rock'n'roll, and an examination of the ways in which white and black musics have interacted. In this work, Michael Bane examines the whole history of the music, from the black roots of spirituals and blues, through the beginnings of rock'n'roll, and its evolution through the Twist, the British Invasion, Motown, funk, Southern boogie, and disco. The result is an idiosyncratic history of rock, and a culturally penetrating account of this hybrid music.
