Book excerpt: In this book, John Mulhern III writes about traveling a total of 7,694 miles in 18 days-a route through eighteen widely (and wildly) different states including not only stops in the the cities of Chicago, Santa Fe, Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Seattle, but also nights in the small towns of Claremore, Point Arena, and Murdo. Adventures on the road (multiple encounters with both high winds and snow) yield to visits with friends old and new, encounters with various other Corvettes and other vehicles of interest, and more than a few great restaurants, sometimes in the most unexpected places. This is a book for travel lovers and most certainly for Corvette lovers, but most of all for devotees of the stunning beauty and endless variety of America. It includes several detailed maps of the route, an annotated bibliography, and over 150 color photos.

Book excerpt: IntroductionYoure making your way down the highway with new, unexplored destinations sprawled out before you. The sun is shining and your favorite song is on the radio. Everything is perfect. Then, suddenly, a sound like no other pierces your serenity and the moment of peace is gone. A screeching sound that only a parent would recognize. Somehow, you are able to discern the words that are intermingled with the glass-breaking, high-pitched shrieks. ARE WE THERE YET?, and the real adventure begins.Yes, only a parent knows what it feels like to have the back of his or her drivers seat kicked continuously, to have spit balls shot at the back of your head, and to struggle to hear the lyrics of your favorite songs while your children criticize music that you could have sworn was cool just yesterday. If youre a parent, youve been through it. And if youre a parent who hasnt gone through it, odds are that at some point in the near future, you will. Since the inception of the road trip, there have been parents who have tried to tackle the task of entertaining children in a vehicle. In the same way that a caged cat paces back and forth growling at her captors, children writhe beneath their seatbelts figuring out ways to torture their parents. The only reprieve parents can hope for is to find ways to entertain their children in the car. And thats where this book comes in.Are We There Yet?: A Parents Guide to 21st Century Road Trip Sanity is going to be your new best friend. If you have children and you own a car, this must-have book provides you with age-old, tried-and-true favorites as well as cutting-edge 21st century methods of keeping kids quiet during long rides in the car (and simultaneously preserving your sanity). While the frazzled parent in the car next to you will be going through the trial-and-error approach of taming the wild child in their vehicle; youll be calm, cool, collected and well-prepared with little angels sitting in your backseat. If only we could do this for all aspects of your life.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • In Sapiens, he explored our past. In Homo Deus, he looked to our future. Now, one of the most innovative thinkers on the planet turns to the present to make sense of today’s most pressing issues. “Fascinating . . . a crucial global conversation about how to take on the problems of the twenty-first century.”—Bill Gates, The New York Times Book Review NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY FINANCIAL TIMES AND PAMELA PAUL, KQED How do computers and robots change the meaning of being human? How do we deal with the epidemic of fake news? Are nations and religions still relevant? What should we teach our children? Yuval Noah Harari’s 21 Lessons for the 21st Century is a probing and visionary investigation into today’s most urgent issues as we move into the uncharted territory of the future. As technology advances faster than our understanding of it, hacking becomes a tactic of war, and the world feels more polarized than ever, Harari addresses the challenge of navigating life in the face of constant and disorienting change and raises the important questions we need to ask ourselves in order to survive. In twenty-one accessible chapters that are both provocative and profound, Harari builds on the ideas explored in his previous books, untangling political, technological, social, and existential issues and offering advice on how to prepare for a very different future from the world we now live in: How can we retain freedom of choice when Big Data is watching us? What will the future workforce look like, and how should we ready ourselves for it? How should we deal with the threat of terrorism? Why is liberal democracy in crisis? Harari’s unique ability to make sense of where we have come from and where we are going has captured the imaginations of millions of readers. Here he invites us to consider values, meaning, and personal engagement in a world full of noise and uncertainty. When we are deluged with irrelevant information, clarity is power. Presenting complex contemporary challenges clearly and accessibly, 21 Lessons for the 21st Century is essential reading. “If there were such a thing as a required instruction manual for politicians and thought leaders, Israeli historian Yuval Noah Harari’s 21 Lessons for the 21st Century would deserve serious consideration. In this collection of provocative essays, Harari . . . tackles a daunting array of issues, endeavoring to answer a persistent question: ‘What is happening in the world today, and what is the deep meaning of these events?’”—BookPage (top pick)

Book excerpt: A 21st Century Son tells the story of Thurmond, who after a religious epiphany, reviews his life and seeks to connect its events to answer the question, what is my purpose on earth? A 21st Century Son is the journey and reflections of Thurmond and his efforts to please and be like the strong willed father he loves and respects. Yet as he nears adulthood he still must discover for himself what it is that makes a man. This rough water passage from youth to adulthood is one that many men have taken but few have been willing to articulate. "You and I have always marched to the beat of a different drummer, Son. Don't let people change you." What does it mean to be a man? Am I my father's son? Can I be a better man than my father? Men and women alike will feel the warmth, have a laugh and shed a few tears as they travel a Southern road with Thurmond from childhood to adulthood.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How a new generation of counterculture talent changed the landscape of Hollywood, the film industry, and celebrity culture. By 1967, the commercial and political impact on Hollywood of the sixties counterculture had become impossible to ignore. The studios were in bad shape, still contending with a generation-long box office slump and struggling to get young people into the habit of going to the movies. Road Trip to Nowhere examines a ten-year span (from 1967 to 1976) rife with uneasy encounters between artists caught up in the counterculture and a corporate establishment still clinging to a studio system on the brink of collapse. Out of this tumultuous period many among the young and talented walked away from celebrity, turning down the best job Hollywood—and America—had on offer: movie star. Road Trip to Nowhere elaborates a primary-sourced history of movie production culture, examining the lives of a number of talented actors who got wrapped up in the politics and lifestyles of the counterculture. Thoroughly put off by celebrity culture, actors like Dennis Hopper, Christopher Jones, Jean Seberg, and others rejected the aspirational backstory and inevitable material trappings of success, much to the chagrin of the studios and directors who backed them. In Road Trip to Nowhere, film historian Jon Lewis details dramatic encounters on movie sets and in corporate boardrooms, on the job and on the streets, and in doing so offers an entertaining and rigorous historical account of an out-of-touch Hollywood establishment and the counterculture workforce they would never come to understand.

Book excerpt: After the end of World War II, the American road trip began appearing prominently in literature, music, movies, and photography. Many photographers embarked on trips across the U.S. in order to create work, including Robert Frank, whose seminal 1955 road trip resulted in The Americans. However, he was preceded by Edward Weston, who traveled across the country taking pictures to illustrate Walt Whitman's Leaves of Grass; Henri Cartier-Bresson, whose 1947 trip through the American South and into the West was published in the early 1950s in Harper's Bazaar; and Ed Ruscha, whose road trips between Los Angeles and Oklahoma later became Twentysix Gasoline Stations. Hundreds of photographers have continued the tradition of the photographic road trip on down to the present, from Stephen Shore to Taiyo Onorato and Nico Krebs. The Open Road considers the photographic road trip as a genre in and of itself, and presents the story of photographers for whom the American road is muse. The book features David Campany's introduction to the genre and eighteen chapters presented chronologically, each exploring one American road trip in depth through a portfolio of images and informative texts, highlighting some of the most important bodies of work made on the road from The Americans to present day.
