Lost in My Own Backyard: A Walk in Yellowstone National Park brings Tim together with one of his (and America’s) favorite Yellowstone, the world’s first national park. He’s been wandering around the park for 25 years by this point, slowly covering its vast scope and exploring its isolated backwoods. So does this mean that he knows what he is doing? Barely.
He stumbles from geyser to glacier, muses on the microbiology of thermal pools, encounters some wildlife, gets spooked in the mysterious Hoodoos, and sees moonbows arcing across waterfalls at midnight. Tim generally has a find time walking several hundred miles as he contemplates the concept and value of wilderness.
Divided into three sections: “The Trails”, which offers up a variety of favorite day hikes. “In the Backcountry”, which explores 3 different great backcountry trails very much off the beaten track. And lastly, “A Selected Yellowstone Bookshelf” is annotated bibliography of his favorite books about the park. It’s a hilarious, informative, and perfect guide for Yellowstone veterans and first timers. It’s adventure writing at its best.
In
Hold the Enlightenment, America’s funniest and favorite adventure writer has returned with his most entertaining collection of essays to date, while traveling the globe and faces down challenges which are topographical, animal, and human.
This book takes him to sites as far-flung as the Congolese jungle, Saharan salt mines, and Hanford, Washington, which is home of the largest toxic waste dump in the Western hemisphere. With his trademark insight and wit, he describes stalking the legendary Caspian tiger in the mountains which border Iraq, diving with great white sharks in South Africa, slogging through a pitch black Australian eucalyptus forest to find the nocturnal platypus, staving off enlightenment at a yoga retreat in Jamaica, and so much more.
In each of these essays, masterly and vivid storytelling combine with outrageously sly humor and jolts of real emotion in order to show one of the most popular journalists of our time at the top of his game.
