'I loved delving into the deeper meanings of our search for new, challenging experiences. It’s a unique and fascinating adventure tale. 5 stars!' -Joan Griffin, author of Force of Nature: Three Women Tackle the John Muir TrailAn epic bike ride across the United States turns nearly to tragedy. A rowing journey along the East coast through storms and tidal surges tests physical and mental limits and forces a reckoning with life’s priorities. A five-hundred-mile pilgrimage across northern Spain triggers personal and spiritual renewal.What happens when a part-time adventurer takes the progressive ideas that defined his career as a teacher-real world problem solving, expeditionary learning, following your passion-and turns them on himself?Everest and the Rest of Us: Four Journeys in Search of Adventure delivers an exciting, three-part tale of cross-country cycling, coastal rowing, and trekking on the Camino de Santiago, by turns suspenseful and comic, painful and triumphant. The fourth journey? Examining why we pursue adventure-pushing our limits, the thrill of taking risks and facing danger, renewal that comes from stepping outside our daily routines, personal empowerment from a challenge met-and exploring the gendered and racialized history of adventure.Most of us will never climb Mt. Everest, surf a fifty-foot monster wave off Hawaii, or row single-handedly across the Atlantic Ocean. But everyone loves a good adventure. Everest and the Rest of Us celebrates the adventurous spirit in us all!
