Product Description
Customer review: "An interesting read for anyone who has found answers to life in running, and a highly recommended read."
When journalist Robert Andrew Powell finished his first marathon, he cried, cradled in his father’s arms. Long distance runners understand where those tears come from, even if there are others who will never understand what drives someone to run 26.2 consecutive miles in a grueling mental and physical test. Powell’s emotional reaction to completing the race wasn’t just about the run, though. It was also about the joy and relief of coming back up after hitting rock bottom.
Running Away is the story of how one decision can alter the course of a life. Knocked down by a painful divorce and inspired by his father, Powell decided to change his mindset and circumstances. He moved to Boulder and began running in earnest for the first time in his life. Over the 26.2 chapters that follow, Powell grapples with his past relationships, gaining insight and hard-won discipline that give him hope for the future.

Japanese is one of the most popular languages to learn in our multicultural society, and My First Book of Japanese Words introduces it in a playful and gentle way. Organized in a familiar ABC structure, everyday words and expressions—as well as words that have special significance in Japanese culture—offer even very young children an enticing glimpse into Japanese daily life. This delightfully illustrated preschool book shows each word in Kanji and Hiragana as well as in Romanized form. Teachers and parents—bilingual and English-speaking only alike—will appreciate the book's cultural and linguistic notes, while Kenji and his friends encourage young readers to join the fun!
