Requests:  0 Summary:  As a teenager, Kate Harris realized that the career she craved--to be an explorer, equal parts swashbuckler and metaphysician--had gone extinct. From what she could tell of the world from small-town Ontario, the likes of Marco Polo and Magellan had mapped the whole earth; there was nothing left to be discovered. Looking beyond this planet, she decided to become a scientist and go to Mars. In between studying at Oxford and MIT, Harris set off by bicycle down the fabled Silk Road with her childhood friend Mel. Pedaling mile upon mile in some of the remotest places on earth, she realized that an explorer, in any day and age, is the kind of person who refuses to live between the lines. Forget charting maps, naming peaks: what she yearned for was the feeling of soaring completely out of bounds. The farther she traveled, the closer she came to a world as wild as she felt within.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status Due Date   Aina Haina Public Library Adult Nonfiction 958.0443 Ha Checked out 05/10/2024 Add Copy to MyList Hawaii Kai Public Library Adult Nonfiction 958.0443 Ha Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Hawaii State Library Language, Literature & History 958.0443 Ha Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library Adult Nonfiction 958.0443 Harris Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Kailua-Kona Public Library Adult Nonfiction 958.0443 Ha Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Kihei Public Library Adult Nonfiction 958.0443 Ha missing from shelf   Add Copy to MyList Koloa P/S Library Adult Nonfiction 958.0443 Ha Checked In   Add Copy to MyList McCully-Moiliili Public Library Adult Nonfiction 958.0443 Ha Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Mililani Public Library Adult Nonfiction 958.0443 Ha Checked In   Add Copy to MyList
