Story
Discover the remarkable life of Daniel Boone... Daniel Boone is one of those figures in American history whose life often intertwines with myths and legends. While numerous tall tales surround this American adventurer, many of his greatest feats are actually true. They are not merely artifacts of folklore—they genuinely happened. Daniel Boone really did blaze a trail through the Cumberland Gap into the western frontier. He really did become initiated as a member of the Shawnee (who gave him the name “Big Turtle”), and he really did serve under Revolutionary War General George Rogers Clark.

In June 2023, writer Dan Rubinstein lashed camping gear to his stand-up paddle board and embarked on an improbable solo voyage from Ottawa to Montreal, New York City, Toronto, and back to Ottawa along the rivers, lakes, and canals of a landlocked region. Over 1,200 miles and ten weeks, he explored the healing potential of "blue space"—the aquatic equivalent of green space—and sought out others drawn to their local waters.

In the heart of the Swiss Alps stand the three majestic peaks of the Bernese Oberland, Europe's most famous mountain range. The highest, at 13,638 feet, is the Jungfrau. Next is the Mönch, at 13,465 feet. But it is the smallest, the Eiger, rising 13,038 feet above sea level, that is by far the deadliest.

Story
They called her Mountain Mama. She didn’t mind. She’d earned it. Alone for over twenty years in the heart of the Ozarks, she carved out a life from snow, silence, and stubbornness. No electricity. No company. No regrets. The quiet didn’t scare her—it fed her. She survived not just the elements, but her past. And when something ancient began to stir beneath the mountain, it wasn’t a rescue party she needed—it was resolve. This is not a love story. It’s not a tragedy. It’s the true rhythm of one woman’s survival, transformation, and unbreakable bond with the wild. If ...

The Durrells are probably the most celebrated literary family of the 20th century. Gerald turned them into celebrities with his tripartite memoir, beginning with My Family and Other Animals (1956) which told of his experiences with his widowed mother Louisa and three siblings during their time in 1930s Corfu. We know of the Durrells from their own writings and from the image of them created by TV, film and biographical accounts of specific figures. What we do not know is the truth.

In this searing memoir, Chanchal Garg reveals the spiritual and sexual abuse that shattered her sense of self and forced her to question a life defined by duty and sacrifice. Raised as a devoted Indian daughter, she was taught never to question authority-until a transformative moment during a yoga class, while pregnant with her daughter, awakened a truth she could no longer ignore. That realization set her on a solitary journey, as she lost her faith, community, and the life she had always known.

Golden Globe Race 2018-19: The Long Way Without GPS is not merely a chronicle of a race. It is a meditation on the human spirit tested by the sea—the kind of test that strips away comfort, technology, and pretense, and leaves only the sailor, the boat, and the long, unrelenting ocean. In 2018, fifty years after the original Golden Globe Race first dared men to sail alone, non-stop, around the world, a new generation of sailors answered the same call. But this was no modern regatta. There were no satellites, no GPS, no weather routing. The rules were spartan. The solitude, absolute. These ...

There was a time when the only thing that kept him going was the promise of another high, another escape, another slow fade into nothingness.

From a young age, I always had a special place in my heart for children. Growing up in metropolitan Detroit, my childhood was marked by the shadows of abuse and neglect. The love I so desperately needed was often out of touch, but it ignited a deep desire to give it to others. I vowed that one day, I would create a safe and nurturing environment for children, filled with the affection I rarely received. At sixteen, my world was turned upside down when I was forced to drop out of school.
