Marianna Sommer always dreamed of a simple Amish wedding, but there's nothing simple about marrying rock star Ben Stone. She loves him-but what about her traditions? Worse, suddenly Ben has questions-the kind that have him putting their wedding on hold. Ben loves Marianna, but he has regrets-and fears-that are suddenly getting in the way of his happy ending. He doubts he's going to "hear from God" in the high mountains like Marianna's father suggests. But sure, he'll go... But he might not return. Because high on the continental divide, trouble finds them. Now, it'll take a miracle for Ben, Abe, and Abe's brother, Ike, to make it down alive. Maybe Ben will hear from God after all...but if he does, can he become the man he needs to be to save them...and keep Marianna's heart? When a runaway horse with a bloody saddle shows up, not only is the media alerted, but Marianna fears she'll lose them all-her uncle, her father, and her beloved Ben. Suddenly she doesn't care what the wedding looks like...as long as Ben makes it home. But is there more to Ben than she knows? And when she discovers his secrets, what sacrifices will she make to save...and marry...the man she loves? Fall in love with the first book in the cherished Big Sky Amish Collection.

Beyond the Mountains explores the ways in which Appalachia often served as a laboratory for the exploration and practice of American conceptions of nature. The region operated alternately as frontier, wilderness, rural hinterland, region of subsistence agriculture, bastion of yeoman farmers, and place to experiment with modernization. In these various takes on the southern mountains, scattered across time and space, both mountain residents and outsiders consistently believed that the region's environment made Appalachia distinctive, for better or worse. With chapters dedicated to microhistories focused on particular commodities, Drew A. Swanson builds upon recent Appalachian studies scholarship, emphasizing the diversity of a region so long considered a homogenous backwater. While Appalachia has a recognizable and real coherence rooted in folkways, agriculture, and politics (among other things), it is also a region of varied environments, people, and histories. These discrete stories are, however, linked through the power of conceptualizing nature and work together to reveal the ways in which ideas and uses of nature often created a sense of identity in Appalachia. Delving into the environmental history of the region reveals that Appalachian environments, rather than separating the mountains from the broader world, often served to connect the region to outside places.

What does it take to be one of the world's best high-altitude mountain climbers? A lot of fundraising; traveling in some of the world's most dangerous countries; enduring cold bivouacs, searing lungs, and a cloudy mind when you can least afford one. It means learning the hard lessons the mountains teach. Steve House built his reputation on ascents throughout the Alps, Canada, Alaska, the Karakoram and the Himalaya that have expanded possibilities of style, speed, and difficulty. In 2005 Steve and alpinist Vince Anderson pioneered a direct new route on the Rupal Face of 26,600-foot Nanga Parbat, which had never before been climbed in alpine style. It was the third ascent of the face and the achievement earned Steveand Vince the first Piolet d"or (Golden Ice Axe) awarded to North Americans. Steve is an accomplished and spellbinding storyteller in the tradition of Maurice Herzog and Lionel Terray. Beyond the Mountain is a gripping read destined to be a mountain classic. And it

Winner, Publishers Weekly Best Books of 2002, Non-Fiction The story of Pec—Kosovo's most destroyed city during the wars in Serbia For every survivor of a crime, there is a criminal who forces his way into the victim's thoughts long after the act has been committed. Reporters weren’t allowed into Kosovo during the war without the permission of the Yugoslavian government but Matthew McAllester went anyway. In Beyond the Mountains of the Damned he tells the story of Pec, Kosovo’s most destroyed city and the site of the earliest and worst atrocities of the war, through the lives of two men—one Serb and one Kosovar. They had known each other, and been neighbors for years before one visited tragedy on the other. With a journalist’s eye for detail McAllester asks the great question of war: What kind of men could devastate an entire city, killing whole families, and feel no sense of guilt? The answer lies in the culture of gangsterism and ethnic hatred that began with the collapse of Yugoslavia.
