Xenophobe's Guide to the Canadians - by Vaughn Roste & Peter W Wilson (Paperback)
Number of Pages: 85Genre: TravelSub-Genre: CanadaSeries Title: Xenophobe's GuideFormat: PaperbackPublisher: Oval BooksAge Range: AdultBook theme: GeneralAuthor: Vaughn Roste & Peter W WilsonLanguage: English About the Book Highlights the unique character and behavior of the nation. Frank, irreverent, funny--almost guaranteed to cure Xenophobia. Book Synopsis The fabric of societyThe nation aspires towards a "cultural mosaic," something like a patchwork quilt, whereas Americans have aimed for the "melting pot." Canadians are essentially practical, and have figured out that the bat-brained idea of a melting pot would simply never work in a country where 50% of the land never completely thaws at all. A quilt is a much more pragmatic idea: it's cold outside. On a clear day you can see foreverHaving so much land has a great effect on the character, customs, and culture of the nation. Take, for example, the prairies. The plains of Canada stretch out endlessly. The flattest spot in the world can be found here, with nary a tree to obstruct the view, which leaves the prairie observer with a remarkably huge view of nothing. In Saskatchewan it is said that you can watch your dog running away for three days. Honesty is the best policyIn the settling of the Canadian prairies, the early pioneers had no-one to rely on but themselves and their near neighbors. Honesty and integrity were important, not to mention things like a good reputation and a virtuous character. It's an attitude that persists to this day. In areas with sparse population, one cannot underestimate the power of public opinion (and the potential damage of the rumor mill). Peer pressure promotes public propriety. Politicians are expected to live up to their promises (and are regularly voted out when they regularly don't). The bear truthCanadians are down-to-earth, even earthy, people, and there are fewer extremes of class in Canadian society than in many others. Arrogance is curtailed by a lack of things about which to brag, although in your presence a Canadian might have caught a larger fish or climbed a higher mountain than you have, and killed a more ferocious grizzly bear (with his bare hands, naturally). From the Back Cover "Much time and government funding has been spent in the public contemplation of the question of nationalism. All that anyone can seem to agree on is that Canadians are NOT American. Any other statement made about Canadians pales in the face of this one.Being NOT something else is the guiding principle around which the whole of Canadian society is based. French Canadians have less of a difficulty with being NOT American, but are equally obsessed with protecting their identity and being NOT English Canadian, so the principle is the same."Xenophobia is an irrational fear of foreigners, probably justified, always understandable.Xenophobe's Guides - an irreverent look at the beliefs and foibles of nations, almost guaranteed to cure Xenophobia. Review Quotes "Xenophobe's Guides aim to help us understand our differences. "--"Daily Express" "Short, aphoristic, seriously funny, not that xenophobic and almost entirely apt guide, perfect homework for the fortunate on ferry or plane." --"The Observer"

A Description of the New York Central Park - (Washington Mews Books) by Clarence C Cook (Hardcover)
Number of Pages: 240Genre: TravelSub-Genre: Parks & CampgroundsSeries Title: Washington Mews BooksFormat: HardcoverPublisher: New York University PressAge Range: AdultAuthor: Clarence C CookLanguage: English About the Book A facsimile reproduction of the 1869 edition, along with a new introduction by Maureen Meister. Book Synopsis A new facsimile edition of a classic work on New York's architectural masterpiece--Central Park Central Park receives millions of visitors every year, tourists and locals alike. A Description of the New York Central Park, published in 1869, is recognized today as the most important book about the park to appear during its early years. The lively, often wry, text was written by Clarence C. Cook, a distinguished Victorian art critic, while the illustrations were drawn by the popular Albert Fitch Bellows. The author and artist examine many sites in the park that survive to this day as well as features that have vanished over time. In a new Introduction, Maureen Meister reveals how the book came about. In the mid-1860s, the park's designers, Frederick Law Olmsted and Calvert Vaux, were battling to defend their plan. Of greatest concern was a proposal to build ornate entrances, suggestive of French imperialism. If realized, the gates would have undermined the park's natural and democratic image. At the same time, the park was threatened by a proliferation of monuments. Meister tells how Olmsted and Vaux advised Cook on what he wrote, and she has found evidence to suggest that they initiated the book's publication. This book is their book. While the original volume offers much to delight the modern reader, Meister's Introduction sheds light on how the book served a greater purpose. It was published to champion Olmsted and Vaux and to advocate for their vision--a dream for a magnificent public park that has come to be regarded as New York City's achievement and a model for the nation. Review Quotes A Description of the New York Central Park by Clarence Cook was one of the first comprehensive guides to Central Park and it remains one of the finest. Albert Fitch Bellows's rich illustrations of the Parks historic structures were an essential reference tool as the Conservancy fulfilled its mission of bringing the Park back from decades of decline to the healthy vibrant park of today. This book is a must for anyone who cherishes Central Park and understands its historic significance as a masterpiece of landscape architecture.--Douglas Blonsky, President and CEO of the Central Park Conservancy and Central Park AdministratorClarence Cook is essential reading for anyone who wishes to understand how the original creators of Central Park wished visitors to experience this first great public designed landscape. In her introduction, Maureen Meister reveals the interesting circumstances surrounding the book's conception and production.--Francis R. Kowsky, author of Country, Park & City: The Architecture and Life of Calvert VauxI love reissues of essential books with new forewords that provide the backstories of the creators.. Maureen Meister ...unpacks the personalities, prejudices, and relationships between the publisher, printer, author, illustrator and the designers of the object of their attention, Central Park, all of whom were interconnected in multiple, fascinating ways.--Keith N. Morgan, Professor Emeritus, History of Art and Architecture, Boston UniversityThis delightful early history of Central Park was written with considerable assistance from Frederick Law Olmsted and Calvert Vaux and thus accurately reflects their intent in designing and administering the park. To Clarence Cook's insightful tour of the park and the handsome engravings prepared by Albert F. Bellows, Maureen Meister has contributed an intelligent introduction that explains the book's publication history, especially the roles of Cook, Bellows, printer Corydon Alvord, and publisher F. J. Huntington.--David Schuyler, author of Sanctified Landscape: Writers, and the Hudson River Valley

Enchanted New York - by Kevin Dann (Paperback)
Number of Pages: 352Genre: TravelSub-Genre: United StatesFormat: PaperbackPublisher: New York University PressAge Range: AdultBook theme: Northeast, Middle Atlantic (NJ, NY, PA)Author: Kevin DannLanguage: English About the Book "Enchanted New York" explores Manhattan's past."-- Book Synopsis A fantastical field guide to the hidden history of New York's magical past Manhattan has a pervasive quality of glamour-a heightened sense of personality generated by a place whose cinematic, literary, and commercial celebrity lends an aura of the fantastic to even its most commonplace locales. Enchanted New York chronicles an alternate history of this magical isle. It offers a tour along Broadway, focusing on times and places that illuminate a forgotten and sometimes hidden history of New York through site-specific stories of wizards, illuminati, fortune tellers, magicians, and more. Progressing up New York's central thoroughfare, this guidebook to magical Manhattan offers a history you won't find in your Lonely Planet or Fodor's guide, tracing the arc of American technological alchemies-from Samuel Morse and Robert Fulton to the Manhattan Project-to Mesmeric physicians, to wonder-working Madame Blavatsky, and seers Helena Roerich and Alice Bailey. Harry Houdini appears and disappears, as the world's premier stage magician's feats of prestidigitation fade away to reveal a much more mysterious-and meaningful-marquee of magic. Unlike old-world cities, New York has no ancient monuments to mark its magical adolescence. There is no local memory embedded in the landscape of celebrated witches, warlocks, gods, or goddesses-no myths of magical metamorphoses. As we follow Kevin Dann in geographical and chronological progression up Broadway from Battery Park to Inwood, each chapter provides a surprising picture of a city whose ever-changing fortunes have always been founded on magical activity. Review Quotes Enchanted New York is full of wonderful anecdotes, and I enjoyed seeing how many of these addresses were still extant. It's a nice mental ramble in these claustrophobic times.-- "Religion Dispatches"For over a decade Kevin Dann has been cycling friends, family, and clients over the streets of Manhattan to reveal delicious and tragic histories of the tension between the humane desire to understand the supra-sensible universe and the soul-crushing materialism that inundates Gotham. A more talented, erudite, and soulful guide does not exist. Enchanted New York renders those voyages into a book like a butterfly unfurling its wings as it emerges from the chrysalis shaped island.--Gary Kroll, State University of New York, PlattsburghIt's a place where poetry grows of chance encounters among strangers below the piers conjuring an alchemy of ideas, where we imagine other worlds; rituals invoke spirits, the dead dance with the living, and the faeries lead us into a blurry world in between. Here pieces of green find inspiration in the cracks in the sidewalk, crawling up from unknown worlds, eternal returns of the repressed. Cycling through these streets, one occasionally stumbles upon urbanist flaneur Kevin Dann, disappearing and reappearing on chance occasions; his Enchanted New York rightfully reminds us "New York City since the American Revolution has been a place where, at each step of its prodigious biography, both witting and unwitting actors have engaged in magic, often with enormous historical consequences rippling out far beyond Manhattan's shores." An important and abundant journey through a secret history of a distinct urban space informed by witches and dreams, faerie magic and a creative clash between a new colossus and Moloch. At a time of plague, when the poor are sleeping in the streets, and a cavalcade of bodies are marching for something better, read Enchanted New York and reimagine the city.--Benjamin Heim Shepard, author of Illuminations on Market StreetPacked with fascinating details and arresting insights, Enchanted New York is a page-turner that illuminates forgotten corners of our cultural past.--Jackson Lears, author of Rebirth of a Nation: The Making of Modern America, 1877-1920There are no ancient monuments to mark New York City's magical history; in their place, Dann's historical guide chronicles the city's lesser-known magical past.-- "Foreword Reviews" About the Author Kevin Dann is the author of Expect Great Things: The Life and Search of Henry David Thoreau and a dozen other books of exploration. He received his PhD from Rutgers University in American and Environmental History, and has taught at Rutgers University, the University of Vermont, and the State University of New York. He leads magical bike and walking tours in Manhattan and Brooklyn. Learn more at drdann.com.

Alfa Romeo Montreal - (Essential Companion) by Bruce Taylor (Hardcover)
Number of Pages: 320Genre: TransportationSub-Genre: AutomotiveSeries Title: Essential CompanionFormat: HardcoverPublisher: Veloce PublishingAge Range: AdultBook theme: HistoryAuthor: Bruce TaylorLanguage: English Book Synopsis Classic Reprint of 500 copiesAlmost 4000 Alfa Romeo Montreals were produced between 1970 and 1977, and sound cars are readily available today at very affordable prices. It is a powerful car that can be immensely enjoyable to drive and that turns heads wherever it appears. But up to now, the lack of detailed information about the Montreal has frustrated many owners and discouraged others from purchasing the car. This book provides detailed technical information and practical tips to help owners with maintenance, tuning and upgrading the performance of this unique vehicle. It explains how the car's specific weaknesses can be rectified so that it can realise its full potential. It also contains information about Montreal history, production, racing, meetings, reviews, drawings, art, special tools, paint finishes, models, prices and service providers. This comprehensive book can help present owners enjoy the Alfa Romeo Montreal to the fullest, and it shows other discerning car enthusiasts that this beautiful and potent classic GT is a hidden treasure that is well worth seeking. Review Quotes Montreal enthusiasts are lucky to have an owner as dedicated as Bruce Taylor. His remarkable 318-page work covers every aspect of Alfa's exotic '70s V8 coupé, from the show car launch to a comprehensive list of worldwide specialists. If you own or are thinking of buying one of these Bertone-styled budget supercars then this book is an essential purchase. In-depth chapters include buying tips, tuning, maintenance and bodywork, plus the car's Achilles' heels, such as weak water-pump bearings, steering-box problems and the fuel-injection system's thermostatic actuator. Taylor's writing is clear and thorough as he guides readers through the design, its problems and improvements. A wealth of photographs superbly illustrates all points. To balance the technical section, Taylor also looks at Montreals in motor sport, including the wild Autodelta Group 4 car, the Bobcar IMSA racer, a Dutch dirt-track machine and even powerboats with Montreal power. Capping it all are the final chapters covering miniatures, printed memorabilia, factory tools and the original styling drawings. A staggering effort born of the obsessive author's pioneering website and the assistance of fellow Montreal owners. " Classic Sports CarA useful but rather pricey reference book for anyone wanting to know all things Montreal, this 315-page volume does its best to cover model history, buying, maintaining, improving and even racing this exotic machine. All the photography is in color and you're left in no doubt as to what should go where or how a Montreal should look. A good starting point for anyone wanting to familiarize themselves with one of Alfa's most distinctive cars. " Classic CarsThe more we read of the book, the deeper it went. The author appears to have missed nothing; Paint codes, Appendix II; injection tune up, a full chapter; weak spots, how to spot and correct, in full color, chapter 5. Rocker switches, how to repair, page 136. Mechanical maintenance is given its own long and profusely illustrated chapter, written by someone who has been there and done that more than once. The author also provides great photos ... to give an idea of how functionally equivalent substitute tools can be fabricated ... This is followed by 24 pages of factory tool drawings! Now that's the kind of information we like to read about!!! Just a cursory glance told us this was a very special book. Who was the Merlin that put all of this together? The photographs, though many are obvious home brewed, are excellent throughout no matter what the source. The author explains clearly the foibles of the V8, how to do everything from set the valve clearances to replace bad bearings in the timing cover. He does it all while covering Montreals made for Europe, Great Britain and the US. It was time to read the back flap.Author Bruce Taylor lives in Switzerland. He devotes a large part of his time helping Montreal owners get the most from their cars. The fact that he can write so to make others understand is an added pleasure. Don't be put off, or on, by the cover. It's a bit of a fooler; an attractive model with mesh stockings sits provocatively on the hood of a Montreal. We didn't mind this, but the complexities, depth, and sheer intensity of the material behind the cover is betrayed by the lightness of the cover material. In short, a detailed cutaway of the Alfa V8 engine would have been more in keeping with the book's depth and excellence. Alas, far less attractive. There are two downsides to this incredible book; one is the cost, about $130 US. The other is that if you buy the book without already owning a Montreal, you may be very tempted, encouraged and excited about going out and finding a good Montreal. And that, my friend, will cost you a great deal more than just the book. " VeloceToday.comThe whole book is very comprehensively illustrated with 950 color and monochrome pictures, the vast majority of which will be unfamiliar to UK readers. It is nice to see pictures of the interior of the prototype courtesy of Alfa Romeo and Bertone, pictures which fail to make most other books and articles. There are relatively few pictures of UK registered cars which may disappoint some of our own Register owners but I did spot a whole page devoted to the restoration of Phil Robinson's MFK 592P and a photo of the car elsewhere, taken at Goodwood by Ken Carrington. The Racing Chapter shows a black and white picture of Jon Dooley punishing the Alfa GB demonstrator at Silverstone and rare shots of the prototype Montreal-engined Alfetta GT which had an engine stretched to 3.0 liters, along with a 2.6-litre production engined version of which a handful were marketed in Germany. Interesting stuff. A really decent Montreal book has been a long time coming but not only is this one well worth the wait, it's in English. Perhaps the greatest compliment one can pay this book is that it may finally lay to rest the myth that the Montreal is a temperamental beast which is expensive and difficult to maintain. The Montreal has long suffered an undervalued reputation. This book may go a long way to right the balance. " Alfa Romeo Owners Club Magazine About the Author Bruce Taylor is a Chartered Engineer with a PhD from Edinburgh University, and has 40 years of practical experience in research and development work. Since retiring from CERN (The European Organization for Nuclear Research in Geneva, Switzerland), he has devoted his experience and energy to helping owners of the Alfa Romeo Montreal get the most from their cars. In addition to a Montreal website, he runs a forum which has handled over 32,000 messages from Montreal owners. Bruce is a Fellow of the Institution of Engineering and Technology, and also authored the Montreal technical bible Alfa Romeo Montreal. He writes with clarity, enthusiasm and expert knowledge about all the major aspects of this elegant, powerful, and yet very affordable, classic GT. He lives in Chardonne, Switzerland.
High Latitudes - by Farley Mowat (Paperback)
Number of Pages: 320Genre: TravelSub-Genre: Essays & TraveloguesFormat: PaperbackPublisher: Skyhorse PublishingAge Range: AdultAuthor: Farley MowatLanguage: English About the Book In a voice alternately filled with rage, humor, and pathos, Mowat seasons his story with photos, maps, and verbatim transcriptions of testimonies from northern peoples, Inuit and white, at a time when the old ways of life were disappearing. Book Synopsis Ideal for fans of Master a Million and Blue Latitudes Chronicles Mowat's hazardous 1966 journey across northern CanadaA must-have for wilderness loversFarley Mowat is a world-renowned author. More than 17 million of his books have sold, and the New York Times calls him a "master storyteller." In High Latitudes, Farley Mowat hoped to write a book that would let northern people speak for themselves and would expose the false view of the North as "a bloody great wasteland" with no people in it. That perspective led to resource developers abusing the land however they chose. For several reasons that Mowat explains, he did not write that book when he originally wanted to. At long last, here it is. Within its pages are the original conversations that Mowat recorded during his journey. Mowat is a natural and a master storyteller, which old fans will remember and new fans will quickly learn. In old-fashioned Mowat style, the legendary writer shares a glorious narrative filled with breathtaking nature writing, larger-than-life characters, suspenseful storytelling, pitiless rage, ferocious humor, compassionate concern, and iconoclastic insights. In her foreword, Margaret Atwood writes, "High Latitudes gives us, with passion and insight, a vertical section of time past--the time that preceded our present. The choices that were made then affect our now, just as the choices we make now will determine the future..."

Number of Pages: 228Genre: TravelSub-Genre: Special InterestFormat: HardcoverPublisher: Tredition GmbhAge Range: AdultBook theme: AdventureAuthor: Peter FoerthmannLanguage: English Book Synopsis Peter Foerthmann has been the first port of call for bluewater sailors seeking advice in steering matters for decades. His unrivalled expertise - the product of a lifetime developing and manufacturing windvane self-steering systems and contemplating their every complexity - continues to draw enquiries from all over the world. Now available in six languages, his specialist books present the state of the art and provide reassurance - should any be needed - that the fundamental rules of physics still apply in a world increasingly dominated by bits and bytes. This book recounts both the author's personal history of almost half a century in the windvane self-steering segment of the international marine industry and the story of how a business that once built everything by hand has managed to transform itself into what must surely be one of the smallest high-tech engineering companies in existence. The Windvane Report shares the milestones of the author's progress over the decades and recounts some of the remarkable disputes that have erupted in the sector as well as discussing and comparing important technical developments in the field. A roller-coaster ride through the highs and lows of a life on and by the water, this book offers the reader a wide-ranging insight into how Windpilot and the man behind it came to be what they are today.

The Brooklyn Nobody Knows - by William B Helmreich (Paperback)
Number of Pages: 424Genre: TravelSub-Genre: United StatesFormat: PaperbackPublisher: Princeton University PressAge Range: AdultBook theme: Northeast, Middle Atlantic (NJ, NY, PA)Author: William B HelmreichLanguage: English Book Synopsis A one-of-a-kind walking guide to Brooklyn, from the man who walked every block in New York City Bill Helmreich walked every block of New York City--6,000 miles in all--to write the award-winning The New York Nobody Knows. Later, he re-walked Brooklyn--some 816 miles--to write this one-of-a-kind walking guide to the city's hottest borough. Drawing on hundreds of conversations he had with residents during his block-by-block journeys, The Brooklyn Nobody Knows captures the heart and soul of a diverse, booming, and constantly changing borough that defines cool around the world. The guide covers every one of Brooklyn's forty-four neighborhoods, from Greenpoint to Coney Island, providing a colorful portrait of each section's most interesting, unusual, and unknown people, places, and things. Along the way you will learn about a Greenpoint park devoted to plants and trees that produce materials used in industry; a hornsmith who practices his craft in Prospect-Lefferts Gardens; a collection of 1,140 stuffed animals hanging from a tree in Bergen Beach; a five-story Brownsville mural that depicts Zionist leader Theodor Herzl--and that was the brainchild of black teenagers; Brooklyn's most private--yet public--beach in Manhattan Beach; and much, much more. An unforgettably vivid chronicle of today's Brooklyn, the book can also be enjoyed without ever leaving home--but it's almost guaranteed to inspire you to get out and explore one of the most fascinating urban areas anywhere.Covers every one of Brooklyn's 44 neighborhoods, providing a colorful portrait of their most interesting, unusual, and unknown people, places, and thingsEach neighborhood section features a brief overview and history; a detailed, user-friendly map keyed to the text; and a lively guided walking tourDraws on the author's 816-mile walk through every Brooklyn neighborhoodIncludes insights from conversations with hundreds of residents From the Back Cover "The Brooklyn Nobody Knows is a unique ground-level travel guide that opens up the human sides of New York's most dynamic borough, introducing the reader to the Brooklynites that bring life to its streets and neighborhoods."--Richard Alba, CUNY Graduate Center"A superb guide to New York's most fascinating, endlessly changing borough. Written by a master ethnographer, The Brooklyn Nobody Knows will provide both the urbanist and the tourist with the sociological insight and street-level detail sure to make their wanderings through Brooklyn satisfying and pleasurable."--Roger Waldinger, UCLA"This guidebook is a delight to read and it's going to be a big hit with Brooklynites and anyone else who is curious about the borough. Far more than the usual travel guide, it is just filled with insight. It makes me want to jump on the subway and head over to Brooklyn. I want to see all the idiosyncratic things it describes, from the City Reliquary, to the resurgence of the Syrian Jewish community, to the outlandish McMansions."--Harvey Molotch, New York University Review Quotes [Helmreich] knocks around all forty-four neighborhoods, all seventy-one square miles, and may well have wished a good day to each of the borough's 2.6 million inhabitants. Helmreich is smitten with Brooklyn; I'll even take the liberty of saying he loves the place, loves the whole city. He's the kind of guy who asks questions. . . . He knows there are parts of Brooklyn that can only be disarmed by common decency--not that he isn't commonly decent. . . . That takes a special, radiant aura of street credibility. He also knows the power of laughter, and when to laugh.---Peter Lewis, Barnes and Noble ReviewHelmreich's chatty Baedeker is a hefty, multifaceted deep dive into New York's popular and most populous borough. He trekked 816 miles from Greenpoint to Cypress Hills, organizing the borough's 71 square miles into 44 communities along the way. New Yorkers and tourists alike can discover the borough's only Cambodian temple, a 1652 farmhouse described as the city's oldest surviving structure and a former mansion transformed into an inn in Bedford-Stuyvesant.---Sam Roberts, New York TimesHelmreich's upbeat book is built around walking Brooklyn's streets day and night, and also talking to people he encounters. He sees Brooklyn as diverse and ever changing. . . . From Greenpoint to Coney Island, every section is given a chapter, with Helmreich focusing on less known aspects of these neighborhoods.---Leonard Quart, Berkshire EagleProfessor and historian William Helmreich follows up his successful tome The New York Nobody Knows--for which he canvassed every single NYC block, covering 6,000 miles--with a Brooklyn-specific edition, sharing stories of the unlikely characters and places he met along the way. (And yes, more books about the other four boroughs are coming, too).---Amy Plitt, CurbedThe best thing about the book and prospective series is what some might otherwise think of as a defect. The Brooklyn Nobody Knows is a snapshot of a dynamic place in the 2010s, at the height of the Brooklyn hype. . . . Though the reportage will too soon feel dated, it will then enjoy a second life as a historical record.---John Shapiro, Journal of Urban Affairs2017 Finalist in Regional, ForeWord Reviews INDIEFAB Book of the Year AwardsBoth a sit-and-read title and one to consult on the go, Helmreich's guide is chock-full of Brooklyn-insider details from the author's own extensive walking explorations. It's the first of five planned volumes, one for each New York City borough.-- "Booklist"Even Brooklyn residents will learn something new in this inclusive book, the first of five planned New York City walking guides. . . . Helmreich's narrative focuses on the unusual and unknown, providing street maps . . . of Brooklyn's 44 distinct neighborhoods, equaling 71 square miles. . . . Crisp pictures, such as those of Mrs. Maxwell's Bakery--New York's largest party cake store--safety tips, and an impressive bibliography are welcome additions to an appealing work for locals, tourists, and urban explorers.-- "Library Journal" About the Author William B. Helmreich (1945-2020) was the author of many books, including The Manhattan Nobody Knows, The Queens Nobody Knows, and The New York Nobody Knows: Walking 6,000 Miles in the City, which won the Guides Association of New York Award for Outstanding Achievement in Book Writing. He was Distinguished Professor of Sociology at the City College of New York's Colin Powell School for Civic and Global Leadership and at CUNY Graduate Center.
Exploring the Maine Woods - The Hardy Family Expedition to the Machias Lakes - Annotated by Fannie Hardy Eckstorm & Tommy Carbone (Hardcover)
Edition: AnnotatedNumber of Pages: 214Genre: TravelSub-Genre: United StatesFormat: HardcoverPublisher: Burnt Jacket PublishingAge Range: AdultBook theme: New England (CT, MA, ME, NH, RI, VT), NortheastAuthor: Fannie Hardy Eckstorm & Tommy CarboneLanguage: English Book Synopsis "We ran away this fall. In fleeing the telegraph, the post-office, the door bells, and all our many masters, we experienced a sweet, if guilty satisfaction, which more than compensated the unpropitious skies that followed us - this is the chronicle of the trip." Fannie Hardy Eckstorm. From a series of articles written in 1891, comes a paddling memoir that weaves together woodlore with a knowledge of literature and Maine history. The writing is superbly descriptive of the Maine woods, the prose is often like poetry, and the feeling of the period is captured on the pages. Fannie Pearson Hardy Eckstorm was not a fur trader like her father, Manly Hardy, or a trapper like her grandfather, but she knew the woods. She was an interpreter of nature, an ornithologist, an expert on early Maine history, with scientific habits and mind for detail. This annotated edition of a Father-Daughter canoe trip celebrates one of the earliest and most talented Maine outdoor writers.Read about the Maine woods, history of the Machias Lakes region, stories about "The Outlaw Jock Darling," the legendary Maine storyteller, "Uncle" Bill Barrett, and even the original Penobscot Man - Big Sebattis Mitchell.This book is more than a memoir of a camping trip, it is a tale of Maine woodcraft and includes details about the Maine woods told only the way those familiar with the region could do so.ISBN 978-1-954048-07-2 is the commemorative dust jacket hardcover edition.
Mission to the Volga - (Library of Arabic Literature) by Aḥ & mad Ibn Faḍ & lā & n (Paperback)
Number of Pages: 108Genre: TravelSub-Genre: RussiaSeries Title: Library of Arabic LiteratureFormat: PaperbackPublisher: New York University PressAge Range: AdultAuthor: A & #7717 & mad Ibn Fa & #7693 & l & #257 & nLanguage: English Book Synopsis The earliest surviving instance of sustained first-person travel narrative in Arabic Mission to the Volga is a pioneering text of peerless historical and literary value. In its pages, we move north on a diplomatic mission from Baghdad to the upper reaches of the Volga River in what is now central Russia. In this colorful documentary from the tenth century, the enigmatic Ibn Fadlan relates his experiences as part of an embassy sent by Caliph al-Muqtadir to deliver political and religious instruction to the recently-converted King of the Bulghars. During eleven months of grueling travel, Ibn Fadlan records the marvels he witnesses on his journey, including an aurora borealis and the white nights of the North. Crucially, he offers a description of the Viking Rus, including their customs, clothing, body painting, and a striking account of a ship funeral. Together, these anecdotes illuminate a vibrant world of diversity during the heyday of the Abbasid Empire, narrated with as much curiosity and zeal as they were perceived by its observant beholder. An English-only edition. Review Quotes A compelling account which is, among other things, the earliest first-hand description of travel from the Muslim world.-- "Times Literary Supplement"Montgomery's edition...is itself the product of many years' research, travel, and discussion and should become definitive.-- "Speculum" About the Author Ahmad Ibn Fadlan (Author) Aḥmad ibn Faḍlān was a member of a diplomatic mission sent by the Abbasid caliph al-Muqtadir in 309-310/921-922 to the king of the Volga Bulghars.

In Darfur - (Library of Arabic Literature) by Muḥ & ammad Al-Tū & nisī (Paperback)
Number of Pages: 430Genre: TravelSub-Genre: AfricaSeries Title: Library of Arabic LiteratureFormat: PaperbackPublisher: New York University PressAge Range: AdultBook theme: GeneralAuthor: Mu & #7717 & ammad Al-T & #363 & nis & #299Language: English About the Book "An Arab merchant's account of his travels through the Sultanate of Darfur in the early nineteenth century."-- Book Synopsis A merchant's remarkable travel account of an African kingdom Muḥammad al-Tūnisī (d. 1274/1857) belonged to a family of Tunisian merchants trading with Egypt and what is now Sudan. Al-Tūnisī was raised in Cairo and a graduate of al-Azhar. In 1803, at the age of fourteen, al-Tūnisī set off for the Sultanate of Darfur, where his father had decamped ten years earlier. He followed the Forty Days Road, was reunited with his father, and eventually took over the management of the considerable estates granted to his father by the sultan of Darfur. In Darfur is al-Tūnisī's remarkable account of his ten-year sojourn in this independent state, featuring descriptions of the geography of the region, the customs of Darfur's petty kings, court life and the clothing of its rulers, marriage customs, eunuchs, illnesses, food, hunting, animals, currencies, plants, magic, divination, and dances. In Darfur combines literature, history, ethnography, linguistics, and travel adventure, and most unusually for its time, includes fifty-two illustrations, all drawn by the author. In Darfur is a rare example of an Arab description of an African society on the eve of Western colonization and vividly evokes a world in which travel was untrammeled by bureaucracy, borders were fluid, and startling coincidences appear almost mundane. An English-only edition. Review Quotes In Darfur offers an interesting glimpse of a (still) neglected part of Africa, and a surprising wealth of information.-- "The Complete Review"As edited, translated, and presented by Davies, al-Tūnisī's account is not only a rich primary source for the early nineteenth-century history of Darfur but also a literary gem marking Egypt's dynamic and innovative intellectual history at mid-century.-- "Journal of the American Oriental Society"The translation is most readable and fluent, yet it also follows the text closely. The arrangement of Arabic and English side by side makes it extremely valuable for research, particularly for the historian, the Arabist, and for teaching purposes on the whole. If a reader with knowledge of Arabic is interested, s/he is able to consult the Arabic with ease ... This is the first published and complete English translation.-- "African Studies Review" About the Author Muḥammad al-Tūnisī (Author) Muḥammad al-Tūnisī (d. 1274/1857) belonged to a family of Tunisian merchants who traded with Egypt and what is now Sudan.

New Zealand Railways - by Robin Bromby (Paperback)
Number of Pages: 256Genre: TransportationSub-Genre: RailroadsFormat: PaperbackPublisher: Highgate PublishingAge Range: AdultBook theme: HistoryAuthor: Robin BrombyLanguage: English Book Synopsis New Zealand railway builders surmounted many obstacles: the terrain, a sparse and scattered population, two islands separated by an often stormy stretch of water, demands from every small settlement for their own railway line. But build a railway system - and a comprehensive one at that - New Zealand did. This is the story of that railway, from its heyday to the day of reckoning as losses had to be confronted.By 1953 the pattern was clear. The era of railways as the mainstay of land transport throughout New Zealand was ending. One by one, most of the rural branches would disappear over the next forty years; passenger train travel - other than commuter services in Auckland and Wellington - would almost disappear to a stage where there are just a handful of tourist services on the most scenic lines; all but the largest towns would lose their railway station.But, until then, the railways of New Zealand were part of almost everyone's life: you caught the train to visit friends and relatives in other parts of New Zealand, you depended on the trains to carry the bulk of the freight that moved to and from the ports. This is their story. Profusely illustrated with photographs and maps.
Under Vesuvius - by Richard Haffey (Hardcover)
Number of Pages: 240Genre: TravelSub-Genre: Essays & TraveloguesFormat: HardcoverPublisher: Xlibris UsAge Range: AdultAuthor: Richard HaffeyLanguage: English Book Synopsis Under Vesuvius: A Reflective Travelogue in Verse and Prose traces a 2016 vacation in and around Sorrento, Italy. In the spirit of the Grand Tour and Mark Twain's Innocents Abroad, the author writes about sights and sounds of the Italian countryside, shorelines and islands around the Tyrrhenian Sea, from Naples to the Amalfi Coast and the islands of Ischia and Capri. Under Vesuvius celebrates life in what feels like a magical land of cliffs and flowers, olives and lemons, evidenced by locals met along the way. It simultaneously discovers and contemplates lessons from the region's long past peoples and the places and edifices they left behind, whether still incredibly above ground and undisturbed for two millennia in Paestum, or sadly buried for as long by Vesuvius in Pompeii and Herculaneum. This book urges a consideration of faith, art, sacred spaces, friendship, honor, witnessing truth in the face of abusive secular and ecclesial authority, the holiness of a person's name, and the relentless, devastating effects of lead toxicity on unsuspecting victims two millennia ago and in our current day.

No Protocol For Me - by Maurice Harvey (Paperback)
Number of Pages: 314Genre: TravelSub-Genre: AfricaFormat: PaperbackPublisher: Paragon PublishingAge Range: AdultBook theme: WestAuthor: Maurice HarveyLanguage: English Book Synopsis Maurice Harvey is probably the most widely travelled photojournalist from New Zealand, having been to 160 countries and territories. His travels began in Africa in 1960 where for seven years he lived in Central and West Africa, then in later years, paid numerous visits covering 37 countries of the continent. The independence movement was sweeping Africa bringing with it not just freedom and liberty, but in far too many cases, injustice and hardship. In 1979 he became the official photojournalist of the United Bible Societies, the world's largest publishing organisation, a position he held for nearly 20 years.His other photography has been used by many of the world's leading publishers such as the BBC, the ten volume Grand Larousse encyclopédique, Macmillan, Reader's Digest, BBC, C.U.P., O.U.P., Open University, Microsoft and many others. Plus local papers and periodicals of his own country and many others around the world. His published work earned him the coveted Licentiate of the Master Photographers Association (United Kingdom). He has attempted to be frank, honest and accurate when explaining the situation for a photojournalist in this most unfortunate continent - albeit a fascinating and at times an exhilarating experience. A continent of wonderful people of great potential yet in many cases, anchored down by corruption. He now makes his home in Central Auckland, together with Lorraine, his wife of 59 years.
