Season of Adventure edited by Jean GouldTraveling Tales and Outdoor Journeys of Women Over FiftyGrabbing their backpacks, passports and a lifetime of experience, the women in this collection of stories prove once and for all that the spirit of adventure does not wane with age. Whether they are watching birds in the Galápagos, camel-touring through the Egyptian pyramids, or exploring the Pacific Cascades with grandchidren, these women display an uncommon joie de vivre and a keen awareness of the cultures and the landscapes they explore. "Women of all ages will find inspiration in the courage and sense of self shown by these women who venture into uncharted territory. Their stories - from the everyday thrill of an unauthorized cold water swim to the tension and terror of an unauthorized crossing of Tibet - will entertain and inform. The fact that the women are over fifty is icing on the cake." --Sandra Haldeman Martz (4/01)
