 | Shouting at the Sky by Gary Ferguson
In the spring of 1997, Gary Ferguson spent three months with one of the best wilderness therapy programs in the country -- living with two dozen bright, troubled, and surprisingly average American kids. He heard their stories and watched them struggle against a backdrop of staggering beauty. Later, Ferguson kept in close contact with them for a year after they climbed their last mountain and headed home. This is the unforgettable story of what it is like to be a teenager -- and a parent -- in America today. How life gets broken, and the surprising, life -- affirming changes that can happen in the middle of nowhere. AUTHOR: Gary Ferguson

Learn how to keep the club, arms, and shoulders on the proper planes. See what happens at the moment of impact and how it affects the flight of the ball; and practice the follow-through. Warm-up exercises are included. AUTHOR: Elisabeth E. Reinersmann, Oliver Heuler

 | Sea Change by Barrett Whitener, Peter Nichols
Peter Nichols restores a rundown wooden boat with his wife and sails across the Atlantic with her. Then, his marriage on the rocks, he sails home alone, which gives him plenty of time to think about what went wrong, to reminisce about the boat's restoration, and to experience a profound loneliness. He writes about all these things, and more, in this memoir of the experience. AUTHOR: Barrett Whitener, Peter Nichols
