Shortlisted for the William Hill Sports Book of the Year, this is
the bestselling story about a rowing team's quest for Olympic gold
in Nazi Germany. Cast aside by his family at an early age,
abandoned and left to fend for himself in the woods of Washington
State, young Joe Rantz turns to rowing as a way of escaping his
past. What follows is an extraordinary journey, as Joe and eight
other working-class boys exchange the sweat and dust of life in
1930s America for the promise of glory at the heart of Hitler's
Berlin. Stroke by stroke, a remarkable young man strives to regain
his shattered self-regard, to dare again to trust in others - and
to find his way back home. Told against the backdrop of the Great
Depression, Daniel James Brown's The Boys in the Boat is narrative
non-fiction of the first order; a personal story full of lyricism
and unexpected beauty that rises above the grand sweep of history,
and captures instead the purest essence of what it means to be
alive. 'I really can't rave enough about this book . . . I read the
last fifty pages with white knuckles, and the last twenty-five with
tears in my eyes' - David Laskin, author of The Children's Blizzard
and The Long Way Home.

pollination, butterfly feeder, how to make a bug hotel.
