Thanks to the successes of directors and actors like John Woo, Jackie Chan, and Chow Yun-Fat, the cinema of Hong Kong is wildly popular worldwide, and there is much more to this diverse film culture than most Western audiences realize. Beyond martial arts and comedy, Hong Kong films are a celebration of the grand diversity and pageantry of moviemaking--covering action, comedy, horror, eroticism, mythology, historical drama, modern romances, and experimental films.

Jill Homer has an outlandish ambition: Racing a mountain bike 2,740 miles from Canada to Mexico along the Continental Divide. But her dream starts to unravel the minute she sets it in motion. An accident on the Iditarod Trail results in serious frostbite. She struggles with painful recovery and growing uncertainties. Then, just two days before their departure, her boyfriend ends their eight-year relationship, dismantling everything Jill thought she knew about life, love and her identity. This is the story of an adventure driven relentlessly forward as foundations crumble. During her record-breaking ride in the 2009 Tour Divide, Jill battles a torrent of anger, self-doubt, fatigue, loneliness, pain, grief, bicycle failures, crashes and violent storms. Each night, she collapses under the crushing effort of this savage new way of life. And every morning, she picks up the pieces and strikes out to find what lies on the other side of the Divide: Astonishing beauty, unconditional kindness, and boundless strength.

“Was it a bird, a kite, a ghost or a flag? Believe it or not, it was a dirty plastic bag! How did it get there? What did this mean? It was the strangest sight he’d ever seen.” This book was created by Ethan and his Poppy. There was a plastic bag stuck in the tree just outside Ethan’s Brooklyn living-room window. The bag was well beyond the reach of anyone. Ethan and Poppy would see the bag and comment about how it got there, and how to remove it. As they walked the streets of NYC and beyond, they found many more plastic bags stuck in trees, behind bushes, in fences, etc. This book is a product of their research and numerous discussions. It is our greatest hope that by publishing this book, others will become more aware and dedicated to cleaning our environment.
