$8.99

NOTICE:

This Kindle edition is a condensed version of the original 740 page softcover book. The 450 illustrations of the softcover book were removed from within the text body, along with their captions, and about one fourth of those original images were replaced following the text, although no captions are present. Other than caption text, the entire text body of the original softcover book remains in this Kindle edition. As a supplement to this book, you may view many of the color photographs at the following website:

These compromises were necessary due to the physical book's immense size, which required significant reduction of content for a Kindle edition. Graphics were chosen for reduction, thereby leaving text intact. The softcover edition is also available, and allows for the full sensory experience.

FROM THE BOOK'S REAR COVER:

$9.99

What is life like for someone who travels cross country on a human powered recumbent tricycle? Find out, as Steve Greene shares three of his overland tricycle journals in this book of adventure and survival on the edge of the road. As part of his environmental preservation paradigm, Steve sold his final petroleum powered vehicle in 2008, and has learned to adapt to being his own engine in a vehicle that weighs only 33 pounds instead of 4,000, a recumbent cycle that emits no toxic pollutants as it enables him to travel wherever he has the spunk to venture. Share the adventure of 2,446 miles, pedaling during the day, and sleeping in a tent during the night. The distance a car can cover in one hour is covered by Steve on his trike in one day, and he shares aspects of travel never known by petrol powered motorists. Born in the mid twentieth century, Steve continues to reveal that the human body is able to flourish and improve as it ages gracefully - in the seat of a recumbent tricycle!

BIOFORM: Evolution Beyond Self Jan 6, 2013

A BOOK ABOUT RESPECTING TRUE LIFE ... BEYOND OUR EPHEMERAL SELF

http://bioformevolution.wordpress.com/steves-vision/

A declaration for rational thought and life-friendly action ...

In this probing book, BIOFORM, naturalist and philosopher Steve Greene takes us on a mindful odyssey far beyond the traditional cultural comfort zones, into an exciting arena of unobstructed thought, transcending the limitations of the human self. Steve’s core ideological premise asserts that many self-centered belief paradigms, both on the individual level and collective cultural plane, serve to perpetuate the common “me against them” and “me first” mindsets, the infectious worldviews he perceives as emanating from internalized, and often suppressed, fears, as well as selfish desires for personal, corporate, and national convenience. His path moves beyond the temporal ways.
Steve believes that numerous embarrassing social aspects of humanity are traditionally ignored, in an attempt to uphold a sanitized existence of perceived private and societal needs, with little authentic vision of, or respect for, the larger harmonious balance of life. He discusses how evolving beyond one’s flawed and finite self will open doors to enlightened awareness, revealing the lack of compassion and sensitivity demonstrated daily through encounters with anything not considered the self. Self protects, he says, while it imprisons.
Through the telling of his own personal story, he describes where he has been emotionally and intellectually, how certain key events and issues during his temporal life and throughout history have influenced his thoughts, and how he evolves according to the ethical demands that flow from his ongoing study of life. No longer content with following the status quo, Steve explains his independent journey away from misguided teachings and into a new consciousness that recognizes all life as one organism in a vast cosmos not fully knowable by human beings. His evocative viewpoints are guaranteed to kindle flame in readers’ minds, whether newly aware travelers, or those who have witnessed the injustices and bigotry of humanity and now seek truth and inner peace – an often difficult path to personal freedom.
This book frees today’s new generations from centuries of imagined fears – a liberating manifesto for independent minds.

-----
Life is a journey, one on which we involuntarily found ourselves a member prior to our new and untainted minds comprehending a sense of self. Proof of joining sentient life as a newborn bioform came from the humans known as parents. With teachers, preachers, and others trusted with our survival, they offered essential maps, itineraries, and expected behaviors of our travels, instilling awareness of good, evil, truth, falsehood, reality, and myth. We believed their knowledge to be flawless. We questioned nothing.
Yet, ageless fears about our journey grew, revealing sacred closets designed to preserve convenient existence, with little respectful vision of life’s primal harmony. What is life, and how do we fit? By what reality do we guide our wanderings? Can we all happily coexist? How do humans understand their corporeal demise? Is God real? Will living in the present moment be the key to our enlightenment? Is freedom from self possible, or is the effort futile?
Naturalist and philosopher Steve Greene, inspired by reality and truth, rather than ritual and tradition, offers stimulating insight on numerous aspects of our communal, yet frequently self centered, journey.

Dirt Roads of the Death Valley Territory: 1300 Miles of Rugged Unpaved Adventure Feb 28, 2017

by Steve Greene

( 8 )

$9.99

This immense Death Valley territory, largely contained within the borders of Death Valley National Park, is an explorer's dream. It is laced with a hidden network of dirt roads, ranging from easy Class-1 roads to nearly impassible Class-5 rockways. More than 1000 miles of these unpaved trails are identifiable on maps, yet there exist more that are not officially marked. It is safe to say that roughly 1300 miles of adventure await a backcountry explorer who has sufficient motivation to go out and discover all of it. Clearly, this would require years of effort. Steve Greene has been exploring the Death Valley territory for sixty years, hiking, driving his Jeep, and now pedaling his human powered tricycle. Inside this book, he introduces the dirt roads of the alluring and remote Death Valley territory.
