For ambitious newbies and hardcore climbers alike, this revised guide includes 12 new climbs in the Cascades. * Details more than 75 of the most popular climbs in the Cascades * 200 black and white photographs, half with route overlays * Thirty maps Fun and challenging, this edition contains a mix of walk-ups, snow climbs, scrambles, wilderness alpine routes, hard rock climbs, ice climbs, and strenuous mixed climbs.

Harvard entomologist Dr. Trygve Lindstrom can't refuse a mysterious invitation to attend a conference in London, for "the greatest scientific expedition in history." The powerful pharmaceutical company, The Chapter, is funding dozens of prominent scientists for a year's sabattical to biological hotspots across the globe to collect specimens that may become tomorrow's miracle drugs. Lindstrom's assignment is a dream come true: collecting rare insects in a remote corner of Madagascar, the Red Island. Lindstrom soon befriends a reclusive Malagasy tribe of Rock People and begins sending hundreds of new and rare insect specimens to The Chapter. Sketchy documents and folklore attribute to the tribal shaman of this tribe an exceptionally long, youthful, disease-free life. Have the Rock People found the Fountain of Youth? Is there any truth to rumors of an insect, a bibeleky, whose bite confers youth and health? Lindstrom ridicules the native stories . . . until he discovers the frightening truth. The Chapter will stop at nothing to exploit such a priceless discovery.

“It's in the book. -Jim Nelson Did you know? Each king in a deck of playing cards represents a great king from history: Spades - King David, Clubs - Alexander the Great, Hearts - Charlemagne, and Diamonds - Julius Caesar. "When possums are playing'possium, they are not playing. They actually pass out from sheer terror. "In the 1940s, the Fcc assigned television's channel 1 to mobile services, two-way radios in taxicabs, etc. They never did assign any other channels. That's why our Tv's today start with channel 2. "Hershey's Kisses are called that because the machine that makes them looks like it's kissing the conveyor belt. "The reason firehouses have circular stairways is from the days when horses pulled the fire engines. The horses were stabled on the ground floor and figured out how to walk up straight stairways.

Just about any time somebody catches up a horse, there is a story in the works. Thoroughbred or bronc, work horse or saddle horse, they all seem to share that unpredictability that lends the laughter and suspense vital to any good tale. Over the years particular horses, horse people and horse situations have risen head and withers above the rest:
* Beady Bob has second thoughts after two freckle-faced boys conscript him and his VW bus to transport Silver down the road: the horse, confined to the van, hammers home a couple of hard truths * The search for a lost trail tests the mettle of a couple of riders: the combines effects of the heat, the insects, the bear track and the dust take their toll on the friendship and the situation disintegrates into hilarious chaos * A couple of rookies learn the hard way how to break a team--as they rocket overland in a rowboat.
No one tells these stories better than Jim Nelson, whose fourteen favorites collected here create an unforgettable book.
