In 1959 a nineteen year-old lama, Chogyam Trungpa, led 300 Tibetan men, women and children on a desperate nine-month escape from pursuing Communist troops. Forced to travel where people had never been, they trekked through some of the world's harshest weather and most treacherous mountain terrain. Then, starving and exhausted, they attempted a river crossing under heavy gunfire in flimsy vessels they'd made themselves -- only to face a midwinter climb over the Himalayas. This near-mythic journey can be seen to stand with such legendary accounts of courage, adventure and leadership as Shackleton's famous 1914-17 Antarctic expedition. Unlike those, it was sometimes shaken by dissension and even outright sabotage - but it was also marked by great compassion and good humor, and touched by a magic long gone from the Western world. At heart it is the story of ordinary people and their young leader taking a vast leap into the unknown, to make one of history's most extraordinary escapes. Told in spare, gripping language, the story is enhanced by Chogyam Trungpa's hand-drawn maps and illustrations, survivors' recollections and a commentary highlighting the back stories. Links to a gallery of images, video footage and satellite imagery enable readers to follow the stunning route and breathe in the spectacular landscape."

Skateboarding is both a sport and a way of life. Creative, physical, graphic, urban and controversial, it is full of contradictions – a billion-dollar global industry which still retains its vibrant, counter-cultural heart. Skateboarding and the City presents the only complete history of the sport, exploring the story of skate culture from the surf-beaches of '60s California to the latest developments in street-skating today. Written by a life-long skater who also happens to be an architectural historian, and packed through with full-colour images – of skaters, boards, moves, graphics, and film-stills – this passionate, readable and rigorously-researched book explores the history of skateboarding and reveals a vivid understanding of how skateboarders, through their actions, experience the city and its architecture in a unique way.

Beating the Nephilim to the prize is the least of their worries. Back in the States, the cult's leader has evolved a plan to release a deadly plague on an unsuspecting world just as his henchman zeroes in on the whereabouts of his child bride. Every effort to throw the hunter off the girl's trail only draws him nearer to his prey. A rift among the members of the Arkana crew threatens to destroy the relic quest altogether. Held captive on a frigid mountaintop in the Himalayas, they are forced to summon all their resources not merely to complete their mission but simply to survive the night. If you thought you knew where this saga was headed, be prepared for a shocking twist when the Arkana team wanders blindly into the lion's jaws.
