{"product_id":"fearless-joe-glickman-9780762772872","title":"Fearless: One Woman, One Kayak, One Continent","description":"Like the instant classic \u003ci\u003eThe Last American Man, Fearless\u003c\/i\u003e is the story of a remarkable individual who accepts no personal limits--including fear. Freya Hoffmeister, a forty-six-year-old former sky diver, gymnast, marksman, and Miss Germany contestant, left her twelve-year-old son behind to paddle alone and unsupported around Australia--a year-long adventure that virtually every expert guaranteed would get her killed. She planned not only to survive the 9,420-mile trip through huge, shark-infested seas, but to do it faster than the only other paddler who did it. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAs journalist and expert kayaker Joe Glickman details the voyage of this Teutonic force of nature, he captures interminable days on the water and nights camped out on deserted islands; hair-raising encounters with crocs and great white sharks; and the daring 300-mile open-ocean crossing that shaved three weeks off her trip. For 332 days Glickman followed Freya's journey on her blog--along with a far-flung audience of awestruck, even lovesick, groupies--as she took on one terrifying ordeal after the next. In the end, he says, \"her vanity and pigheadedness paled next to her nearly superhuman ability to master fear and persevere.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Joe Glickman\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0762772875\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780762772872\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Falcon Press Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/24\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 216\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.50lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.90h x 5.40w x 0.80d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/20\/2012","brand":"Joe Glickman","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":50593203683583,"sku":"9780762772872","price":16.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/fearless-joe-glickman-9780762772872","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
