Annie Londonderry war die erste Frau, die mit dem Fahrrad die Welt umrundete. Ihre 15-monatige Reise von 1894 bis 1895 verband die Frauenbewegung mit dem Fahrrad-Boom und beeinflusste viele Frauen. Als jüdische Einwanderin und Mutter wagte sie ein Abenteuer, um eine Wette zu gewinnen und wurde zu einem Symbol der Gleichberechtigung.
The extraordinary story of one man who has driven more than 1 million miles to rescue thousands of dogs from hunger, abuse and neglect and give them a second chance at life and love. Twice a month, Greg Mahle leaves his home in Ohio in a 12-wheel rig bound for the rural South, where he rescues abused and abandoned dogs and brings them to loving "forever homes." In this inspiring book, journalist Peter Zheutlin interweaves Greg's experiences with the heartwarming stories of the dogs and the families who adopt them. This dramatic, uplifting account shines a spotlight on critical issues facing dogs and people (like canine overpopulation) and shows how love and a little luck can be the difference between grief and hope for these dogs—and for us all.
Until 1894 there were no female sport stars, no product endorsement deals, and no young mothers with the chutzpah to circle the globe on a bicycle. Annie Londonderry changed all of that. When Annie left Boston in June of that year, she was a brash young lady with a 42-pound bicycle, a revolver, a change of underwear, and a dream of freedom. She was also a feisty mother of three who had become the center of what one newspaper called "one of the most novel wagers ever made": a high-stakes bet between two wealthy merchants that a woman could not ride around the world on a bicycle. The epic journey that followed took the connection between athletics and commercialism to dizzying new heights, and turned Annie Londonderry into a symbol of women's equality.

Jak daleko byste zašli, abyste zachránili život? Toto je mimořádný příběh muže, který absolvoval cestu dlouho milion mil, aby zachránil tisíce opuštěných psů před hladem, zneužíváním a zanedbáváním a dal jim tak druhou šanci na život a lásku. Po celá léta se Greg Mahle snažil udržet při životě svou rodinnou restauraci v Ohiu. Když ji byl nucen zavřít, byl na mizině a v nejistotě, co dál. Pak ovšem navždy změnila jeho život štěňata. Novinář Peter Zheutlin cestuje s Gregem z Ohia až na pobřeží Mexického zálivu a pomáhá mu zachraňovat psy, kteří neměli štěstí na Jihu, k rodinám milujícím zvířata na Severu. Po cestě jim nezištně pomáhá mnoho dobrovolníků. Ze zbídačelé staré houstonské čtvrti, kde se tisíce psů potulují po ulicích, se přesunou k novým páníčkům na severovýchodě. Tato záchranná cesta je plná lásky: inspirující příběh o unikátním spojení mezi psy a lidmi, který nám ukazuje, jak vymanění se z bídy těchto psů může změnit i náš život. Dojemný a inspirující příběh o tom, jak jeden člověk může ovlivnit tolik životů, lidských a štěněcích.
