Auto-biographical list-making is a pathway to rediscovering fun and poignant memories, visualizing dreams for the future, and keeping a record of books, films, music, and all your other experiences that made you who you are today. If I asked you to list memorable objects inside your childhood home , or the places youve lived , a colorful assortment of memories would surface that are unique to you. Its your LISTOGRAPHY. I have been creating lists for years and I began to notice that most of them were autobiographical in nature. I would often come across a memory and tell myself Ive really got to write that down before its gone. Making a list augments your brains storage capacity. If its in a list, then its never lost. And once youve started the list, its easy to add to over the years. A completed list on, lets say, songs that remind you of loves from your past might bring up feelings and memories in the unique way a photograph can and sometimes even more so. I cant make a list on my favorite games from childhood without remembering what it was like to hit the white cubes nervously out of the Dont Break The Ice game or my neighbors dad conducting Simon Says. So autobiographical listing can ignite our memory. All of these pieces make a map of who we are: a LISTOGRAPHY . Even a to do list can be autobiographical. Ive used practical lists over the years to help inspire me and remind me to get things done. Making a list of all the countries I want to visit reveals a lot about me and helps encourage me to make it happen. Some lists memorialize. I once made a list of things I dont want to forget about my grandma . As I sat there thinking of things to list, I remembered much about her that might have slipped away. People often think of lists as boring to do lists or grocery lists. Not so! List making can help you reimagine your life, make changes, and alter brain chemistry. If you make a list of what you are most grateful for , or your favorite things to smell , or your happiest memories , your emotions will shift. I also used lists to get me through difficult times, like losing my...

-Titulo Original : Dead Mountain The Untold True Story Of The Dyatlov Pass Incident (historical Nonfiction Bestseller, True Story Book Of Survival)-Fabricante : Chronicle Books-Descripcion Original: A New York Times and Wall Street Journal Nonfiction Bestseller! - What happened that night on Dead Mountain?The mystery of Dead Mountain: In February 1959, a group of nine experienced hikers in the Russian Ural Mountains died mysteriously on an elevation known as Dead Mountain. Eerie aspects of the mountain climbing incident-unexplained violent injuries, signs that they cut open and fled the tent without proper clothing or shoes, a strange final photograph taken by one of the hikers, and elevated levels of radiation found on some of their clothes-have led to decades of speculation over the true stories and what really happened.As gripping and bizarre as Hunt for the Skin Walker: This New York Times bestseller, Dead Mountain: The Untold True Story of the Dyatlov Pass Incident, is a gripping work of literary nonfiction that delves into the untold story of Dead Mountain through unprecedented access to the hikers own journals and photographs, rarely seen government records, dozens of interviews, and the authors retracing of the hikers fateful journey in the Russian winter.Youll love this real-life tale: Dead Mountain is a fascinating portrait of young adventurers in the Soviet era, and a skillful interweaving of the hikers narrative, the investigators efforts, and the authors investigations. Here for the first time is a historical nonfiction bestseller with the real story of what happened that night on Dead Mountain. Review Dead Mountain reads like a mystery, with flashback chapters that lead up to the last known details of the ill-fated adventure.

His research leads him to sort through the classic explanations?avalanche, attack by the local Mansi people, high winds, armed men, weapons testing, and even aliens. Punctuated with primary source documents, readers will be riveted to the final conclusion of the true story of the Dyatlov Pass incident.School Library JournalA Junior Library Guild SelectionFive Stars...The best investigation on [The Dyatlov Pass Incident] that I have ever read. -Mysterious Universe podcastThe Dyatlov Pass incident is virtually unknown outside Russia, but in that country, its been a much-discussed mystery for decades. In 1959, nine Russian university students disappeared on a hiking expedition in the Ural Mountains. A rescue team found their bodies weeks later, nearly a mile from their campsite, partially clothed, shoeless, three of them having died from injuries that indicated a physical confrontation. What happened here? There have been a lot of theories, ranging from misadventure to government conspiracy to freak weather to extraterrestrials, but no one has managed to get to the truth. Drawing on interviews with people who knew the hikers (and with the lone survivor of the expedition, whod had to turn back due to illness), Russian case documents, and the hikers own diaries, Eichar, an American documentarian, re-creates the ill-fated expedition and the investigation that followed. The authors explanation of what happened on Dead Mountain is necessarily speculative, but it has the advantage of answering most of the long-standing questions while being intuitively plausible. A gripping book, at least as dramatic as Krakauers Into Thin Air (1997). -BooklistAn American documentary filmmaker drops into the well of one of Soviet Russias greatest mysteries. . . .

-Titulo Original : The Enlightened Cyclist Commuter Angst, Dangerous Drivers, And Other Obstacles On The Path To Two-wheeled Trancendence-Fabricante : Chronicle Books-Descripcion Original: The joys of commuting by bike attract scores of new converts every year. But as fresh-faced cyclists fill the roads, they also encounter their share of frustrations-careless drivers, wide-flung car doors, zoned-out pedestrians, and aggressive fellow cyclists, to name a few. In this follow-up to the best-selling Bike Snob, BikeSnobNYC takes on the trials and triumphs of bike commuting with snark, humor, and enthusiasm, asking the question: If we become better commuters, will that make us better people? From the deadly sins of biking to tactics for dealing with cars, pedestrians, and other cyclists, this primer on bike travel is a must-read for cyclists new and seasoned alike. Review Weiss is a Brooklyn-based cyclist and writer. His book is 240 pages of optimism hidden in snark, of hope cloaked in sarcasm, and its full of sometimes scathing, always accurate cycling observations that occasionally border on genius....But for all its sardonic wit - and there is a lot of it - The Enlightened Cyclist at its core is an honest look at a growing culture of bicycle commuters vying for a slice of the road in a car-dominated culture that still considers the bicycle an alternative means of transportation. Mixed into the snark stew is a plea for commuters of all stripes - pedestrian, cyclist and driver - simply to get along. - The Unnamed Cyclist According to the irreverent Bike Snob NYC (Bike Snob: Systematically and Mercilessly Realigning the World of Cycling), the nom de guerre of Eben Weiss, the main thing commuters want is To be happy, and to not get killed. And in this hilarious faux-epic volume, the author uses the Bible as a loose template for how cyclists and cars can, and should, all get along. Though theres some take-home advice, such as driving behaviors to avoid and which kind of bike to buy, most of the book is a rollicking window into urban cycling from a self-professed smug dork. There are several extended glossaries--in the annals of Annoying Cyclist Behavior, Weiss describes the differences between salmoning, shoaling, and wheelsucking. And sidebars include Understanding Bipedal Idiocy and The Dachshund of Time. Occasionally, the author flips into an earnest, philosophical voice; though his description of his experience on 9/11 and his rant about the pointlessness of dressing up for work are thought-provoking, their tone is somewhat out of place in what is, at heart, a truly fun and witty ride. The book shines when the author combines his self-deprecation on behalf of all cyclists (we are kind of the nerds in the school cafeteria of transportation) with heavier topics (when it comes to integrating our transportation, were as closed-minded as the racists of yesteryear), creating a call to arms for the ultimate commuting goals: transcendence and highways of happiness. - Publishers Weekly About the Author BikeSnobNYC (a.k.a. Eben Weiss) is the blogger behind bikesnobnyc.blogspot , a massively popular cycling blog. He also writes a monthly column in Bicycling magazine. He lives in Brooklyn, New York...
