Hardback. Condición: Good. Has the future -- ever more people with their houses, stores, roads, and sprawl -- been wrecking your past? Melissa Holbrook Pierson, with unalloyed insight, elucidates how it feels to lose that landscape of home.

Hardback. Condición: Good. For the 50,000 members of the Iron Butt Association--also known as the World's Toughest Motorcyclists--long-distance motorcycling is not a pastime but an obsession. These men and women push the limits of human endurance, often in rides of more than one thousand miles a day. Perhaps the most determined of them is John Ryan, a diabetic and a man who even in late middle age loves nothing better than riding impossible distances at no small risk to himself. But why? Melissa Holbrook Pierson, herself a longtime motorcyclist, chronicles the gratifications of long-distance riding as well as the challenges and solitude that accompany it.
