Richard Parks has what must be one of contemporary sport's most
extraordinary and inspirational stories. Soon after he turned
thirty, the professional career in rugby that had been his life for
over a decade was cut short by injury, leaving him faced with an
uncertain future. But unlike many other young athletes, Richard
decided to tackle his fears, anxiety and depression head on, taking
inspiration from Ranulph Fiennes and a line from his grandmother's
eulogy - "The horizon is only the limit of our sight" and setting
out on challenges that have become part of his everyday life.
Richard created history with his first endeavour - the 737
Challenge - by becoming the first person to conquer the highest
mountain on each of the world's continents and venture to both the
North and South Poles within seven months. Then in 2013 he tackled
three hugely challenging events - an ultramarathon through the
Peruvian jungle, the world's highest mountain bike race, and a
double iron man triathlon in Snowdonia - in preparation for an even
more extraordinary challenge: to record the fastest solo,
unsupported and unassisted journey to the South Pole. These three
challenges and the Antarctic speed record quest that saw Richard
ski 11 hours a day enduring perishing conditions, broken skis and
spending Christmas and New Year alone on the ice, were all filmed
for a major four-part series to be broadcast on Channel 5 later
this year. Beyond the Horizon is an amazing, inspiring, and
exciting story for armchair adventurers, extreme sports and
mountaineering fans alike.
Some of the best sport fishing in and around Wyoming, Montana, and
Idaho is found in Yellowstone National Park. Cutthroat trout,
browns, rainbows, brookies, lake trout, and grayling are among the
premier game fish found in the park's pristine lakes, powerful
rivers, and meandering streams. "Fishing Yellowstone National Park"
describes all the waters and their fishes, so anglers will know
exactly when and where to fish, how to get there, and what kind of
fly, lure, or other gear to use.
Montana angler, fishing guide, and author Richard Parks has
fished these waters for more than fifty years. He shares his
intimate knowledge of 106 top fishing spots, including in-depth
site descriptions, the species present, and the best times to fish;
tips on lures, flies, bait, and tackle; and information about
trails, distances, terrain, availability of campgrounds, river
access, and regulations. Detailed site maps and an illustrated
section describing the habits and habitats of Yellowstone's game
fish round out this angler's companion.

Legal Assistant Jin Lee Hannigan thought she had problems enough as
a single woman in rundown Medias, Mississippi. That was before Jin
meets a homeless man on Pepper Street who just happens to be the
King of Hell, and learns that she's really the mortal incarnation
of Guan Shi Yin, the Buddhist Goddess of Mercy, charged with the
rescue of unfortunates trapped in the various -- and nasty -- hells
scattered around the cosmos. That doesn't even turn out to be her
biggest problem. It seems that the Goddess of Mercy is on the run
and in hiding, which is why she incarnated as a human in the first
place. Hiding from what? Love. But why would anyone fear love? Jin
already knows that love is powerful, but what she has to learn, and
fast, is that the wrong kind of love is also potentially the most
destructive force in all the universe and--even more important--how
to stop it.
