Polo in the United States
Though polo is commonly associated with Britain and South America, the sport also enjoys a strong following in the United States. This comprehensive history describes the evolution of polo in the U.S., from its beginnings in a New York City riding academy in 1876 to the 2010 Open Championship held in Florida. The principal early players and the first polo clubs are covered, as is American participation in the Olympics, polo at universities and colleges, women's polo, indoor polo, and polo in the military. Additionally, chapters also examine polo in the arts and in literature.
The Girl Who Fished With a Worm
Swedish billionaire Olaf Gedda is found dead and his eccentric fishing colleague, Gotilda Salamander, is arrested for firing the fatal shot. Her prints were found all over the bucket of worms beside the body, so who else could it be? Salamander's old flame, investigative journalist Jerker Rhindtwist, discovers that a few others had motives as well but, in the end, Salamander must escape from jail and, using her computer hacking expertise, hook the murderer herself. With the help of solid research on Rhindtwist's part, and well-planted karate kicks on Salamander's, the efficient duo finds its way to justice, Swedish style.
Thirty Below
Carrie Ritter runs away to the wilds of Alaska with Bart McFee, a manly yet gentle fugitive from society, to escape her repetitive life in southern California where she has experienced one too many failed relationships. A harrowing plane ride and dog-sled trek later Carrie is shocked when she arrives at a tiny, wood-heated cabin with an outhouse set a daunting distance away amid a waist-high October snowfall. She finds surviving in her new world bewildering and uncomfortable. She is forced to deal with sled dogs, wolves, sub-zero temperatures, blizzards, cabin fever and an eccentric native Alaskan intruder but the majestic scenery dazzles her and the rigors of frontier life give her a bracing sense of self-sufficiency. Eventually she falls in love with her cabin mate and the natural landscape that defines her new life until the suffocating winter darkness sets in and her struggle to survive begins in earnest... Kirkus Discoveries says this about Thirty Below: ..".when Groome tests his characters, human and animal, against the wilderness, he moves us with the harshness and beauty of an uncivilized world. The result is a gripping portrait of life stripped to the bare essentials."
