Sailing Off the Anchor
In his multiple incarnations as a sailor, outdoorsman, explorer, engineer, inventor, businessman and author, Don Douglass has always lived life on his own terms. Inheriting his father's entrepreneurial spirit, he has made a career out of turning his passion for outdoor pursuits into a series of money-making enterprises, reinventing himself numerous times in the process. In this book, Don tells his story, from his peripatetic Depression-era childhood, to his years as a project engineer with Lockheed Aircraft and Beckman Instruments, to the establishment of his own companies, including Wilderness Group Inc. and Fine Edge Productions. Joining him in these adventures has been his wife, business partner, and fellow adventurer, Reanne Hemingway-Douglass. Alpenlite backpacks, Plumline outdoor clothing, Kangaroo Baggs bicycle panniers, and the Douglass's numerous mountain biking and nautical navigation guidebooks are well-known to several generations of hikers, bikers and boaters. Here, Don reveals how these products came to be, and he tells of his many other adventures sailing off the anchor, literally and metaphorically, in life, love, and the great outdoors.

THE ACCLAIMED BOOK, NOW IN PAPERBACK, with a reading group guide and a new afterword by the author.

Horrified by the specter of nuclear annihilation, Kennedy gradually turned away from his long-held Cold Warrior beliefs and toward a policy of lasting peace.

Douglass and Melville
Frederick Douglass was born into slavery in Maryland; Herman Melville was born into prosperity in New York. Despite their divergent backgrounds, these contemporary American authors shared amazingly similar ideas about the most pressing issues of their day, including war, slavery, abolition, and race relations.

Wallace raises that provacative question, seeking clues as he follows their parallel footsteps through New Bedford, New York City and Albany in this most unusal and fasicnating book!
