Böcker av Michael Clinton

Running: it's as simple as striding forward just one foot after another, but as author Michael Clinton has learned over more than 40 years as a runner, it's so much more than just exercise. It's a test of physical and mental endurance and a way to connect with the environment, the global community of runners, and, ultimately, yourself. From the streets of Paris, Buenos Aires, all the way to Sydney, Clinton has gone the distance, never forgetting his running shoes in all of his globetrotting adventures to over 120 countries. In Tales from the Trails, Clinton along with numerous contributors, including George A. Hirsch, chairman of the New York Road Runners and founder of the New York City five-borough marathon, detail inspirational stories of trial, tribulation, and triumph, revealing how running has helped one find love, strengthened a relationship with God, and assisted in overcoming fear and disappointment. Tales from the Trails is a reminder to lace up and hit the trails to run for your life, love, and happiness.

Traveler extraordinaire Michael Clinton is back with the second installment in his Snaps Series that defines sense of place in some of the world's most beautiful yet essentially unexplored locations. Following his glimpse into New York's preeminent summer destination¿the Hamptons¿Clinton travels to Santa Fe, New Mexico, and captures the essence of what makes this city one of the most prominent and largest centers for arts and culture in the world. Here Clinton, the accomplished photographer, uses his unique eye to transform ordinary, everyday moments into insightful and inspiring images. From the bronze sculptures that depict the diverse blend of Spanish, Native American, and Anglo cultures, and the earth tones of weathered sixteenth-century adobe architecture, to horses grazing on secluded pastures under brilliant blue skies and serene views of the freshly changed yellow leaves of the aspens in the Sangre de Cristo Mountains, these illustrious images invite viewers to contemplate and focus on the small, yet telling moments that create a larger sense of beauty and wonder. This book will appeal to anyone who loves Santa Fe, art, or photography and is popularly priced and conveniently sized for quick purchase and carry.
