* Entertaining climbing narrative about a destination many dream of visiting * Perfect gift for adventure travelers and climbers alike * Dorr's story was featured on the Outdoor Life Network's "Countdown to the 25 Most Dangerous Places" Mount Kilimanjaro is sometimes called "Everyman's Everest" because it is possible for a novice climber to reach the summit. And every year, more than 30,000 adventure tourists try. But for each person who goes to the mountain, there are thousands more who chat about it at cocktail parties, making plans to go...someday. That's how Daniel Dorr got started: flirting with a beautiful brunette over hot cocoa and spouting impressive plans. Six months later, he was lying on the cold gravel trail at 18,000 feet, panting and hacking in the darkness. Dorr is a typical marketing exec by day but, amped up by his re-acquaintance with a romantic interest, he gained the determination to pursue one of his lifelong dreams -- summiting Kilimanjaro. When Dorr left behind the familiarity of his weekend-warrior lifestyle in Southern California to reach the top of the 19,340-foot peak, he didn't realize he would cross a threshold to a new way of life. As he fondles expensive hi-tech gear, gets vaccinated for the jungle, travels local-style across East Africa, and vomits on top of the African continent, readers share in the rewards, both large and small, of reaching for personal fulfillment through adventure travel.

I discovered these four letters in a place I cannot disclose. Each of them contains a tale (or so I thought). Actually, they were not tales, but testimonies of people who had met the Magi of Bethlehem. The strangest thing is that one of the letters dates back to the first Christian centuries, one to the early Middle Ages, one, obviously, is from 1646, and the last from 1822. How the Magi got to these places at different times in history is a mystery. What I can prove and demonstrate is that these are absolutely genuine testimonies. All I have added to them are the (hopefully, but by no means certainly, adequate) titles.

A biography of Poe--aimed at YA readers--but also for general readers.

Certainly, he had substance abuse problems at periods in his life, but he simply could not have accomplished all that he did--all the stories, poems, essays, reviews, and other writing--if he had been under the influence thoughout his short life of forty years.
