The Badwater Ultra-marathon is commonly referred to as the toughest footrace on the planet. In 2003, defending champion Pam Reed, Dean Karnazes and 71 other runners took the ultimate challenge of running 135 miles in California from Badwater to the portals of Mount Whitney. Their journey would take them through the hostile environment of Death Valley and subject them to temperatures ranking among the highest ever recorded on earth. Twenty-five runners tell of their adventures in arguably the absolute toughest of the roughest footrace on the plane - the good, the bad and yes, the ugly - in this incredible and fascinating compilation. You are certain to gain a respect for the runners you will meet and perhaps an even greater respect for the area known as Death Valley. The runners who experienced heat exhaustion, dehydration, nausea, blisters, hallucinations, and fatigue during the race - competed in temperatures literally a few degrees from hell.

We meet a heroic mother trying to hold together the semblance of normalcy while raising her two brave boys and dealing with her own demons. It is well written, organized and easy to read. Respect for the author, while asking tough questions.. This is an excellent, intelligent book--a must for the scholar and general reader alike interested in religion, politics, and the law.. Groups usually move very, very slowlymostly because of being resistant to change. I would love to give this book 4 stars simply because of the content. For example, let's say you were diagnosed with an illness that your family believes is incurable. I give the authors a great deal of credit for giving me a greater insight into sexuality and religion, topics I thought I had rather a good grasp of.
