Synopsis Born to Run by : Christopher McDougall
A New York Times bestseller 'A sensation ... a rollicking tale well told' - The Times At the heart of Born to Run lies a mysterious tribe of Mexican Indians, the Tarahumara, who live quietly in canyons and are reputed to be the best distance runners in the world; in 1993, one of them, aged 57, came first in a prestigious 100-mile race wearing a toga and sandals. A small group of the world's top ultra-runners (and the awe-inspiring author) make the treacherous journey into the canyons to try to learn the tribe's secrets and then take them on over a course 50 miles long. With incredible energy and smart observation, McDougall tells this story while asking what the secrets are to being an incredible runner. Travelling to labs at Harvard, Nike, and elsewhere, he comes across an incredible cast of characters, including the woman who recently broke the world record for 100 miles and for her encore ran a 2:50 marathon in a bikini, pausing to down a beer at the 20 mile mark.

Synopsis Tarahumara by : Bernard L. Fontana
Inhabiting the Sierra Madre Occidental of southwestern Chihuahua in Mexico, the Tarahumara (or Rar‡muri) are known in their language as the "foot runners" due to the way in which they must navigate their rugged terrain. This book offers an accessible ethnography of their history, customs, and current life, accompanied by photographs that offer striking images of these gentle people. The subtitle of the book derives from the Tarahumar's belief that the soul works at night while the body sleeps and that during this "day of the moon" both the spirits of the dead and the souls of the living move about in their mysterious ways. As the authors observe, the fact that "so many men, women, and children persist in distinctive, centuries-old cultural traditions in spite of their nearness to all the complexities and attractions of modern industrial society is an importatn part of the story." Their book tells that story and brings readers closer to understanding the Tarahumara world and way of life.

Synopsis Copper Canyon by : Tim Means
Copper Canyon is both upmarket commercial fiction and a suspenseful literary legal thriller that will engage readers in questioning the proper balance between too little and too much government regulation and the role of law and morality in the battle between good and evil in determining the fate and fortunes of individuals and business enterprises. Taking readers on a page-turning journey into a strange new world, the novel introduces them to the fascinating realm of underground miners operating massive mining machines as they navigate dark excavations, sometimes as extensive as the street-scape of Manhattan Island but thousands of feet beneath the surface, where they work in constant peril of fires, floods, explosions, and cave-ins, not to mention Black Lung disease from inhaling coal dust. Copper Canyon tells a good, fresh story, worthy of investigative journalism, about a mine explosion that never should have happened; but the Mine's owners and its brotherhood of coal miners were no match for a government safety inspector with a personal agenda and a coal miner out for revenge. After a gripping courtroom drama of a hearing in which the government ought to have protected them, the miners were placed in real jeopardy by the very laws meant to protect their safety, proving once again that well-intended laws written in Washington, D.C. can put lives and livelihoods in the wrong hands. But the little town of Heavenly faced still darker threats and its fate depended on a lawyer and a creative young mine foreman willing to seek justice against all odds. Can they rescue the Mine and bring hope for the future?The novel speaks with compelling authenticity born of the author's decades of experience as a lawyer representing coal miners before, during, and after mine accidents.
