A Road Warrior's work life demands travel-lots of travel. This Road Warrior's life landed him in all 50 states and 6 foreign countries, covered 4.7 million air miles, and required more than 4,000 nights in hotels. And that's where the glamour ends. Road Warrior is for anyone who has ever traveled and experienced airport lines, TSA checkpoints, weather delays, equipment delays, security delays, middle seats, traffic jams, or fellow travelers who are by turns, enjoyable, crazy, knowledgeable, clueless, helpful, selfish, agreeable...and disagreeable...and still managed to come out smiling. You'll discover there's no commute like a Road Warrior's commute, and you'll delight in the unusual diversity of destinations in this Road Warrior's life-one week "working" at Churchill Downs, another week flying to a school in a remote Alaskan village on the Iditarod Trail, and at other times, walking through the heavily guarded precincts of twelve California State prisons. Arranged alphabetically from A is for Advice to Zzzz is for Sleep-Road Warrior is NOT a "how to travel" book. It is an anecdotal memoir of the author's determination to thrive-not just survive-during more than two-and-a-half decades on the road. Whether he's finding the fun in B is for Baseball, explaining a comically embarrassing situation in the Big Apple in X is for X-Rated, confessing to rude behavior in C is for Credit Card, or admitting to fearing for his life in P is for Prayer, the chapters provide a potpourri of fun, fear, fascination, laughter, and insights.

Take a stroll through the City by the Bay with renowned artist Wendy MacNaughton in this collection of illustrated documentaries. With her beloved city as a backdrop, a sketchbook in hand, and a natural sense of curiosity, MacNaughton spent months getting to know people in their own neighborhoods, drawing them and recording their words. Her street-smart graphic journalism is as diverse and beautiful as San Francisco itself, ranging from the vendors at the farmers' market to people combing the shelves at the public library, from MUNI drivers to the bison of Golden Gate Park, and much more. Meanwhile in San Francisco offers both lifelong residents and those just blowing through with the fog an opportunity to see the city with new eyes.
