Gail Muller was told she’d be in a wheelchair by the age of 40. At 41, she set out to hike one of the world’s toughest treks: the Appalachian Trail - a 2,200-mile journey that would help her reclaim her life and heal her mind and body. An inspiring, moving, and uplifting memoir for fans of Cheryl Strayed’s Wild and Elizabeth Gilbert’s Eat, Pray, Love.

I feel it a great honor to be the bearer of this message to the world; but I do not claim any special privilege, nor do I claim any spiritual quality that makes me any different from my fellow men. I alone was not wholly responsible - as I now know - having been spiritually helped and guided throughout all these years of probation. It was not until one night when a mysterious Visitor appeared to me that I knew what my real mission was.

Why do some movements change the world and others fizzle out? Former U.S. officials Macon Phillips and Walter Kerr talk to the people behind the social movements that are challenging traditional power structures around the world, from farmers in India, to dissidents in Russia, to activists in Central America, and everywhere in between.

近年各地の神社が「パワースポット」として注目を浴び、それを目的として老若男女が参拝している。場所によっては、連日人が押し寄せ、縁結びや運気向上を願っている。あるいは「パワー」を得る為、境内の石に手を当てているような光景もまま見られる。こうした事は、近代以前からあり、神社信仰、文化の一側面ではある。しかし、それに偏重し、それをもって神社の主体のように思うのはいかがなものであろうか。神社に祀られる神々の多くは、過去実在した人物である。百社巡礼でも何度か取り上げた菅原道真公や安倍晴明公はもちろんの事、各地に祀られる氏族の祖神や開拓の祖神もそうであるし、天照大神ですらも実在の人間とする神道家もいる。そうした過去実在した人々は、皆、抜きん出た「パワー」に溢れた人々であり、だからこそ後世に語り継がれる実績を残し、神として祀られて来たのである。鬼や邪神とされた「まつろわぬ民」であっても、時代の趨勢によって敗者となっただけで、同じことである。彼らは皆、時代時代を精一杯生きて、何らかの大きな結果を出したのだ。今を生きる我々は、彼らを祀る神社でただ「パワー」を貰おうとするのではなく、彼らを畏怖し、目標として、自らも「パワー」溢れる存在となり、精一杯生きて行く必要があるのではなかろうか。神社における「パワー」の意義を再考。

If geologist, adventurer, and risk-prone eccentric John Lane can prove the existence of the elusive tree kangaroo on the remote Pacific island of New Britain, he just might be able to save one of the last truly wild endangered forests on Earth. But first he and his ragtag expedition party - college students, adventure-seeking biologists, disinterested local teenagers - will have to find the rare animal. Award-winning writer Matthew Power plunges into one of the world's most foreboding jungles alongside Lane. It is a quest that's equal parts noble, dangerous, and wacky, in a place that's truly off the map.

Boyhood in the 1960s and ‘70s was a time for exploration and mischief. Author Michael Tougias found more than his share of misadventures in the woods and on the water: some life-threatening, but others innocently hilarious. Over time - and after reading a multitude of adventure books - these experiences took shape in his quest to be a mountain man, owning a cabin in the forest and living off the land. Part of that dream would come true, but only after a family tragedy that shook his world and forced changes in his life.
