The Land Beyond

A Thousand Miles on Foot through the Heart of the Middle East

By: Leon McCarron

SHORTLISTED FOR THE ADVENTURE TRAVEL BOOK OF THE YEAR AT THE EDWARD STANFORD TRAVEL WRITING AWARDS. There are many reasons why it might seem unwise to walk, mostly alone, through the Middle East. That, in part, is exactly why Leon McCarron did it. From Jerusalem, McCarron followed a series of wild hiking trails that trace ancient trading and pilgrimage routes and traverse some of the most contested landscapes in the world. In the West Bank, he met families struggling to lead normal lives amidst political turmoil and had a surreal encounter with the world's oldest and smallest religious sect. In Jordan, he visited the ruins of Hellenic citadels and trekked through the legendary Wadi Rum. His journey culminated in the vast deserts of the Sinai, home to Bedouin tribes and haunted by the ghosts of Biblical history. The Land Beyond is a journey through time, from the quagmire of current geopolitics to the original ideals of the faithful, through the layers of history, culture and religion that have shaped the Holy Land. But at its heart, it is the story of people, not politics and of the connections that can bridge seemingly insurmountable barriers.

Wounded Tigris

A River Journey Through the Cradle of Civilization

By: Leon McCarron

A fascinating journey down the Tigris River—the lifeblood of human civilization—in search of history and hope. Starting at the source of this storied river, where ancient Mesopotamians and Assyrian kings had their images carved into stone, explorer Leon McCarron and his small team will journey through the Turkish mountains, across north-east Syria and into the heart of Iraq. Along the way, they will pass through historic cities like Diyarbakir, Mosul, and Baghdad. We will meet fishermen and farmers, along with artists, activists, and archaeologists, who rely on the flow of the river. Occasionally harassed by militias, often helped by soldiers, McCarron rode his luck in areas still troubled by ISIS and relied on the generosity of a network of strangers as he follows the river to its end in the Persian Gulf. For readers of Simon Winchester, Erika Fatland, and Kevin Fedarko, Wounded Tigris is the story of what humanity stands to lose with the death of a great river, and what can be done to try to save it.

The Road Headed West

A 6,000-Mile Cycling Odyssey through North America

By: Leon McCarron

What happens when you swap the nine-to-five for two wheels and a journey of a lifetime? Terrified of the prospect of a life spent behind a desk, without challenge or excitement, Leon takes off to cross America on an overloaded bicycle packed with everything but common sense. Over five months and 6000 miles, he cycled from New York to Seattle and then on to the Mexican border, facing tornados, swollen river crossings, wild roaming buffalo and one hungry black bear along the way. But he also met kind strangers, who offered their food, wisdom, hospitality and even the occasional local history lesson, and learned what happens when you take a chance and follow the scent of adventure. With a sharp eye and a genuine go-where-the-wind-takes-me attitude, McCarron makes for an ideal guide on this cycling adventure. He passes through small towns, rolls up and flies down the winding roads of the Blacks Hills is taken in and fed by strangers, all on a quest to discover the “real” America, and in the process, learn a little about himself. Funny, insightful, and full of life, The Road Headed West will inspire readers to chase their dreams and go off in search of adventure.

Beautiful Bones Without Hormones

The All-New Natural Diet and Exercise Program to Reduce the Risk of Osteoporosis and Keep Your Bones Healthy and Strong

By: Leon Root,Betty Kelly Sargent

Dr. Leon Root, world-renowned orthopedic surgeon and author of the million-copy bestseller Oh, My Aching Back, presents a 100% natural, HRT-free diet and exercise program for increasing bone density and reducing the risk of osteoporosis. “Save your bones, save your life.” That’s Dr. Leon Root’s motto after thirty-five years as an orthopedic surgeon. Today, forty-four million Americans suffer from osteoporosis or osteopenia. Having seen scores of people lose their independence and their lives to osteoporosis-related fractures, Dr. Root has become a crusader against this silent killer. Dr. Root’s plan is the first and only one written since the Women’s Health Initiative Study, which questioned the safety of HRT. His simple, all-natural approach consists of an easy-to-follow diet and exercise program that will safeguard anyone’s bones against the incurable—and wholly preventable—disease of osteoporosis. The book includes: A 14-Day High Calcium Diet (with foods you know), including variations for Children, Vegetarians and the Lactose Intolerant with an emphasis on forming healthy habits for a lifetime A breakdown of the amount of absorbablecalcium in common foods More than sixty simple, calcium-rich recipes for delicious—not “diet”—meals, including calorie count and nutritional information A fully-illustrated, twenty-minute exercise routine that people of any fitness level can do at home Cutting edge information on recent breakthroughs in drug treatment for osteoporosis patients An extensive glossary, plus a list of organizations and websites devoted to beating osteoporosis No other book on the market comes close to providing the comprehensive, up-to-the- minute information and advice Dr. Root gives in Beautiful Bones Without Hormones. "Dr. Root writes in the clearest and most informative way. His is a book that anyone who even suspects that he or she has osteoporosis—and that is a great number of us—should immediately read." ?Barbara Walters, ABC News “Beautiful Bones Without Hormonesoffers an incredibly sound and wholesome diet and exercise program certain to minimize the risk of osteoporosis in anyone who follows it. It's an exceptional book, and I recommend it heartily.” ?Miriam E. Nelson, Ph.D., associate professor, The Friedman School of Nutrition Science and Policy, Tufts University, and author of the national bestseller Strong Women, Strong Bones “Do we need this book? Yes, yes, yes! Having read it, I plan to have the strongest bones this side of a Tyrannosaurus rex… It’s extraordinarily lively, easy to read, and packed with information you won’t find anywhere else.” ?Helen Gurley Brown, Editor-in-Chief, Cosmopolitan International “Osteoporosis is a terrible thief, stealing health and independence from women of all ages. Fight back with Beautiful Bones Without Hormones, this simple and effective do-it-yourself manual from one of America's most experienced and trustworthy orthopedic surgeons.” ?Lisa R. Callahan, M.D., author of The Fitness Factorand medical director of the Women's Sports Medicine Center, Hospital for Special Surgery “An eye-opening account of a very serious disease, osteoporosis, by a thoughtful leader in the field.” ?Tim McCarver, Fox Sports “This book has become a fixture on my bedside table.” ?Beverly Sills, Coloratura Soprano and former director of the New York City Opera "This is a practical, how-to book that lists the new bone-building medications available and provides readers with a 14-day healthy, high-calcium diet for vegetarians; and one for the lactose-intolerant, as well. […] The coup de grace is the cookbook at the book's end. With recipes for The Famous Croque Monsieur Sandwich and Maccaroni and Cheese, calcium never looked so good." ?Publishers Weekly
