A Hike For Mike: An Uplifting Adventure Across the Sierra Nevada for Depression Awareness, by Jeff Alt, $14.95  

A heartwarming, humbling, humorous, true-life adventure of a couple who trekked the John Muir Trail as a depression awareness campaign. After losing a brother-in-law to suicide, Jeff and his wife (Beth) walk the 218-mile John Muir Trail across the Sierra Nevada mountain range to spread the word that depression is treatable. As you walk vicariously alongside Jeff and Beth, through three national parks, ending atop the highest mountain in the contiguous United States, you‚ll encounter bears, lightening bolts, fascinating people, and beautifully rugged scenery. You‚ll also see a ray of light emerge from the dark ashes of tragedy. Jeff's story reflects on perseverance, overcoming adversity, and navigating the mountains and valleys of life. For more details http://www.awalkforsunshine.com/AHikeForMike.htm

"...His descriptions capture the magnificence of the varying vistas, the travails of the trail, and the camaraderie of hiking. Alt...candidly shares the joys and challenges of a long-distance trek and the positive discoveries that both he and his wife have made about each other. Reading about their journey is itself a reprieve from the frantic pace of everyday life. Indeed, Alt's conversational writing style makes one feel like a participant rather than an observer. Recommended for public libraries."

-Jo-Anne Mary Benson, Library Journal

"Thank you, Jeff and Beth, for A Hike For Mike. It gave me the chance to relive my own JMT adventures and to plan new ones. I also appreciate its critically important message about depression, something that's dogged me all my life!"

-Kathy Morey, co-author,

Purpose
VRlog provides news, developments and analysis of the virtual reality (VR) world from a nature photographer's perspective. Since I am not connected to or funded by any VR vendor, I intend to objectively appraise what's going on, and the direction VR is headed in. -- erik goetze
