Marion, MA: Stella's Dream, 2007. Second Edition, Revised and Expanded. Trade paperback. Very good. Format is approximately 8.75 inches by 8.5 inches. Various paginations (approximately 300 pages). Illustrations. Maps. Appendix (Itineraries, Articles, Physical Form, Letter, Thanks). Inscribed by Linguini on half-title. Cover has some soiling, wear and creasing at back. Charlie 'Linguini' Duane has become a trail celebrity. He has hiked from the tip of Florida to the Appalachian Trail and then to the International Appalachian Trail (IAT) to the tip of Canada. Along the way he took many black and white photos (he's an artist) and made many friends. This is his story. He writes candidly about how he evolved and changed through the course of his long hikes. He tells of the people he met and the sites he saw. He writes about the things he learned about his body and nutrition on a longer than long hike. His reflections of the hike reveal the wisdom gained by introspection while persevering on a distance hike. The book features museum quality printing done on archival paper. The pictures while small are crystal clear and starkly riveting (think Ansel Adams)... See why those who know him are so impressed by his dedication and earnestness. Racing Light tells about events which inspire us to surpass all expectations. Four long hikes, 180 days, 9,886,500 footsteps, 12 pairs of shoes, 470 photographs, a glimpse of enlightenment, and a taste of immortality. Wildlife encounters, angels, demons, mean streets, and signs in the sky. Injury, illness, and healing. All this began when Trica asked Charlie to walk her dog Stella. Nobody dreamed that he would later complete a solitary walk of the North American east coast. Nobody except, perhaps, for Stella. Find out what inspired this ordinary walker, and imagine your own dreams emerging, step by step. Feel the exhilaration, the drudgery, and inevitability of this remarkable long walk, as presented in the Photo-Diary format specially developed for this book. The page layout of Racing Light emphasizes the steady flow of time, with full and empty days passing at the same rate.

Signed by the author on half title. Gloria Marie Steinem (born March 25, 1934) is an American feminist, journalist, and social political activist, who became nationally recognized as a leader and a spokeswoman for the American feminist movement in the late 1960s and early 1970s. She is listed in Who's Who in America. Steinem was a columnist for New York magazine, and a co-founder of Ms. magazine. In 1969, Steinem published an article, "After Black Power, Women's Liberation", which brought her to national fame as a feminist leader. In 2005, Steinem, Jane Fonda, and Robin Morgan co-founded the Women's Media Center, an organization that works "to make women visible and powerful in the media". Steinem currently travels internationally as an organizer and lecturer, and is a media spokeswoman on issues of equality. Derived from a Kirkus review: Steinem's inwardly turned examination of how men and women sabotage themselves by suppressing the ``child within'' is insightful. Her reflections on her own and others' spiritual struggles may give a new generation of activists pause for further reflection. In the wake of Ms. magazine's sale and her own resignation as its editor, Steinem found herself, she says, with the time and inspiration to write a book she'd had in mind for years--a study of the psychological and societal factors that negatively influence self-esteem. Recounting her own early life as the daughter of a factory worker who divorced his mentally ill wife when Gloria was only ten, Steinem details the natural progression from a co-dependent relationship with her mother to an unconscious adult sense of being ``co-dependent with the world.'' Forced by her need to wall off her past, she led a life of outer-world confrontations until, through therapy undertaken as research for her book, she began to master her ``inner child.'' By including others' tales of self- actualization through a ``revolution from within''--the creation of a winning chess team in Spanish Harlem, the transformation of a housewife into an entrepreneur, etc.--Steinem illustrates how others' psychic journeys may lead in much different directions than her own. Still, much of what is recommended here will strike many as old hat--and, in the end, more interesting as an update on the feminist's life than as a practical aid to others. A piquant counterpoint to recently revitalized, outer-directed feminism., Little, Brown and Company, 1992<
