Produktbeschreibung

Almost Sixteen-year-old Josh Mayer has a falling out with his parents over their perception of his lack of accomplishments in school, work, and sports in comparison to his older brother. Their criticisms lead to Josh's self-evaluation of what he needs to do to "be better." He meets Kelly, a shy fellow student, who sees Josh in a much more pleasant light. With her encouragement, Josh attempts to solve his family problems by taking on another job for the rest of the school year and then getting away on a

long summer bicycle trip. Unimagined adventures and a lot of growing up are down the road.

Autorenporträt

Peter is an Emeritus professor at San Jose State University in California. During his forty years of association with the university, he played football as a student and was on the Athletics Board as a faculty member. Prior to that, he was an adventurous cyclist, riding from Pasadena to Yosemite several times, as a teenager. Both of these parts of his life play into his two books: 'Out of the Shadows and Into the Fire', and 'A Football Story'. As a Meteorology professor, he was known and respected worldwide, giving papers at conferences, being a witness in aircraft accident cases, and much more. His research specialty was clear air turbulence. He was beloved by his students, many of whom keep in touch to this day. After a long career based in California, he retired to Ashland, OR, and then Kailua Kona, HI, with his wife, Julia.
