Daniel grew up in the shadow of his older sister, the brash, self-assured, and utterly reckless Jackie, now living with her dirtbag boyfriend and wandering through dead-end jobs. When his parents find her marijuana stash in his closet and decide they do not want him to turn out like his sister, Daniel suffers the trickle-down parenting effect and is sent to Quest Trail. Surrounded by other similarly uprooted teens, Daniel endures a series of preposterous self-discovery exercises and gets caught up in a rivalry with Troy, a too-tough poser, as they vie for the attention of Vera, a charismatic California teen who grew up with too much money and not enough emotional connection.Just as Daniel's confidence begins to grow and things start to look up, the Quest Trail program dissolves into complete chaos.Sometimes humorous, sometimes painful, Off Trail shows an authentic account of all the embarrassing and heart-wrenching moments of being a teen.…

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. Uncovers the long-mystery location of the Stone Tower, the Silk Road's ancient midpoint, and explores its historical, cultural, and trade significance.For over 2,000 years, the precise location of the Stone Tower--the midpoint of the ancient Silk Road, where caravans traveling between Europe and Asia paused to rest, trade, and resupply--has remained a mystery. Claudius Ptolemy (AD 90-168), an Alexandrian, was an astronomer and geographer. In his third work Geographia, he described the Stone Tower, a special place high up in the mountains in a region referred to as the Roof of the World, which marked the mid-point on a complex network of overland routes collectively known today as the Silk Road. Scholars have long debated its location, but no work until now has focused solely on identifying this elusive site.This book explores the search for the Stone Tower and its significance in ancient geography, cartography, and trade. Determining its location not only resolves a historical puzzle but could also lead to the discovery of other lost settlements described in Ptolemy's Geographia. The book is divided into three sections: the origins of the Silk Road, the historical forces that led to the tower's prominence, and the precise identification of its location.The author demonstrates why Ptolemy's text alone is insufficient to pinpoint the site and introduces four key criteria that the location would have logically needed to satisfy for it to have become such a prominent meeting place and caravanserai. He argues that the Stone Tower corresponds to the Sulaiman-Too in Kyrgyzstan, the holiest mountain in Central Asia. This site was a key meeting point for traders and holds significant spiritual and cultural importance, with connections to Zoroastrianism and the Sasanian Empire.By solving this ancient riddle, the book sheds new light on Silk Road history, offering fresh perspectives on trade, geography, and the civilizations that shaped this vital network of commerce and cultural exchange.…

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. Get swept up in this holiday romance as Chelsea Bobulski's All I Want for Christmas young-adult contemporary series comes to an end by exploring the hope and magic of unforgettable love.College freshman Savannah Mason doesn't believe in magic or true love. She believes in science, and science tells her that love is nothing more than a biological impulse to breed-an impulse that can, thankfully, be ignored. Which is a good thing because no woman in her family has ever been lucky in love. In fact, all of them have ended up broken hearted and insistent on blaming a mysterious, vengeful curse. But Savannah is determined to rewrite her story, and as far as she's concerned, she's never going to fall in love.Jordan Merrick is a junior at William & Mary and on the fast track to obtaining his life's goal: becoming the next Ron Chernow. He vaguely imagines that, someday, he'll have a wife and kids. But like Hamilton himself, Jordan's drive is to accomplish his goals as quickly as possible. Love can come another day once his career is cemented.What neither Savannah nor Jordan planned on is meeting each other, and as they keep crossing paths on campus and Savannah finds herself helping at Jordan's archaeology site, all their reasons for putting their love lives on the back burner start to blur.Forged together, Savannah and Jordan investigate Savannah's family's curse on love and explore a collection of love letters between a revolutionary soldier and the girl he left behind. But when they come face-to-face with the truth about themselves-and with the truth about what they've become to each other-Jordan's outlook on love starts to waver, and he begins to wonder if he can convince Savannah that love is real. But will Savannah run before her heart is able to let go of cynicism and believe in the power and magic of love?At once thought-provoking and charming, All I Want for Christmas is the Girl Who Can't Love will stir a longing in every reader's heart for the hope in magic and romance that can only be found during the holiday season.…
