Book excerpt: This exciting account of adventure and competition follows several expeditions to be the first to descend China's longest river, from its headwaters in Tibet to the Three Gorges region, and eventually to the East China Sea. Among the players are a megalomaniac American fishing guide, patriotic members of China's youth movement, novice boaters full of fear and experienced rafters filled with hubris, thrown together to challenge one of the world's most dangerous rivers. Originally published in 1989, and winner of a Lowell Thomas Award that year for best travel book, "Riding the Dragon's Back" has been slightly revised to emphasize the drama and excitement of its narrative of competition and challenge, although the chapters on Chinese exploration and history remain. This is modern river exploration at its best, and the book has inspired numerous whitewater enthusiasts over the years to emulate its adventurous spirit.

Book excerpt: “Riding the Dragon gives the reader the chance to look for the lessons that are often hidden in our sorrows.”—Goodreads reviewer Twenty years and 70,000 copies after it was first released, Riding the Dragon—by popular author, speaker, and psychologist Robert J. Wicks—continues to help thousands each year to confront the “dragons” of stress, discouragement, burnout, and unexpected change that everyone struggles with in their daily lives. Instead of pretending these difficulties don’t exist or trying to remove them entirely, Wicks offers ten lessons to help us face them, overcome them, and grow from them. These simple yet profound lessons draw on the wisdom of Eastern and Western spiritual traditions as well as Wicks’s experience as a psychologist, and include pairing clarity with kindness, seeking perspective daily, and building a barrier of simplicity. Riding the Dragon is a concise, compassionate, and knowledgeable guide for anyone experiencing or supporting someone facing personal or professional challenges. This twentieth anniversary edition features a new preface from the author, highlighting how Riding the Dragon is, perhaps now more than ever, an indispensable spiritual and psychological companion for all of us who are yearning for our lives to be transformed.

Book excerpt: “In the land of Husanta, there are kings, and there are villains. There are friends, and there are foes. There are Dragos, and there are Majji. There are dragons, and there are girls. And for one young Dragontend, an attack on the castle and the accidental journey on a fleeing dragon will propel him on a reluctant search for the missing symbol of rightful royal rule. Then, there will be a hero.” An attack on the castle by renegade Majji led by the king’s evil brother-in-law, and an accidental journey on a fleeing dragon, propels young Dragontend Addler Berrington on a reluctant search for the Dragonstoen, the missing symbol of rightful royal rule. Torn between his love for the king’s granddaughter Alnya, and his lust for Genelie Coverton, daughter of the king’s brother-in-law, he is lured into accompanying Genelie on her obsessive search for the Dragonstoen amulet. But when Alnya, searching for the missing Addler and Nesra the dragon, finally meets up with them, she is forced to fight Genelie. Who will win Addler's heart and will the Dragonstoen amulet ever be found?
