Ice Palace by Tarjei Vesaas
Essential Information for Current and Future Skateboarders Skateboarding is back on top of the teen sport scene, and this new series has all the information teens need to learn about this extreme sport. Packed with full-color photographs capturing skateboarding's exciting action, these six books cover many aspects of the skateboarding world, including the basics of how to skate; the popularity of skateboarding in the X Games; buying, decorating, and repairing a skateboard; and a biography of the guru of skateboarding, Tony Hawk. Included in this series are two how-to titles that utilize step-by-step instructions combining text with stop-action photography. Stretch a skateboard to three times its length and lay down on it. Now you have a street luge board. Take a skateboard and give it big rubber wheels. Now you have a dirtboard. These hybrid boards are the oddball cousins of skateboards, and Murdico explains the in and outs of each sport. Readers will learn how lugers are able to take turns at 50 miles per hour, or how dirtboarders bomb down a hillside. Included are safety tips and profiles of the hottest skaters on today's pro circuits.Tarjei Vesaas wrote several novels, poetry collections, and a collection of short tales that won an international prize in Venice in 1952. He won a number of additional awards and was nominated for the Nobel Prize in 1964, 1968, and 1969.
