2017., General, Collins Call No: QWF Bio D674b Edition: First edition. Availability:1 of 1 At Your Library Summary Note: Filming the reality documentary television series Boundless, Simon Donato has raced thousands human-powered kilometres across the globe - from the frigid tundra of Iceland to the searing heat of the Sahara, journeys that strip away the regular trappings of life and pit us against ourselves and the natural world. There are no modern conveniences to lean on as crutches, and every metre gained is earned through both physical and mental effort. Donato details the quest for adventure and the opportunities to test ourselves in ways that we aren't able to in our lives very much anymore. He takes you on an adventure-filled journey around the globe and shows how you can apply his lessons and experience to your everyday life. Donato, who has a PhD in geology, has travelled extensively to race and explore the planet. He also runs his oatmeal company, Stoked Oats. He splits his time between Canmore, Alberta, and his Long Trek Ranch in Sheenboro, Quebec.

-- My life as a humble comedy legend2014., Adult, Harper, an imprint of HarperCollins Publishers Call No: Bio S559i Edition: 1st edition. Availability:1 of 1 At Your Library Summary Note: "Martin Short reveals how a Canadian kid obsessed with American show business became the "comedian's comedian" (Vanity Fair). Martin Short is one of few celebrities in show business who has continually worked hard, found success, and maintained a normal, happy family life. His memoir is a reflection on his diverse collection of experiences, both hilarious and heartbreaking. Short takes us through his career, from his early years with Second City Toronto and Saturday Night Live to his movie, stage, and TV stardom. He recalls how he developed some of his enduring characters-manic man-child Ed Grimley, elderly Tin Pan Alley songmith Irving Cohen, slimy lawyer Nathan Thurm, and the blubbery and bizarrely insensitive Jiminy Glick. Here, too, are his movie and television appearances, from the classic Three Amigos to his Emmy-nominated role in Damages. Throughout, such friends and luminaries as Steve Martin, Tom Hanks, John Candy, Gilda Radner, Lorne Michaels, Nora Ephron, Frank Sinatra, and others share the spotlight. This deeply private man brings us into the circle of his family life. He recounts the pain of losing a brother and both parents by the time he was 20, and of the devastating death of Nancy, his wife of thirty years, in 2010. Despite the hardships, Short's life has been full of laughter. In this wise and entertaining memoir, he shares his irrepressible joy"--Provided by publisher.
