Florida without Disney shows how you can take your own personal
visit to Florida, or anywhere else for that matter, and use it to
link yourself to an entire universe of knowledge, understanding and
adventure. People of all ages, children and adults alike, are
stimulated by: facts stranger than fiction
Experience the smiles, laughter, excitement, sadness and fear in
this keenly observed true story of exploration and adventure.
Richards puts himself at the centre of events and then interprets
them based upon his interesting and varied life history. The
honesty of his personal accounts provides powerful insights into
culture, people and relationships whilst his ability to describe
places, events, emotions and memories seamlessly transports the
reader between the past and present on amazing journeys with
breathtaking pace. It is an adventure of a life-time, from Pacific
to Atlantic traversing the southern USA, leading through mountains,
giant redwoods, and deserts to cities, natural wonders, national
treasures and even alien encounters. It carries us to the edge of
the precipice, within swiping distance of bears and striking range
of rattlesnakes. Wandering streets from wealth to dereliction we
gain insights into American culture. Revel in the adventure or
grasp the encouragement to travel - the choice yours.
This book was prompted by the successful completion of an epic
journey around America and the publication of three books: Tornado
Spring; Wild Summer and Desert Winter which document the author's
adventures. Conquering America brings together these three books to
present, for the first time, the entire adventure in a single
volume. Inspiration was found in both urban and natural settings,
through encounters with people, animals and environments. This
created interactions that were at times exciting and interesting,
and at others sad, joyous or downright terrifying. Throughout, the
author relates events to the political world and his intimate past.
He provides fascinating insights from the view of a stranger who
discovers an America which is often at odds with its image. His
open-minded approach sheds light on a culture and a country of
which every American should feel proud. Visit AmpUrLife.com for
