Book excerpt: There's no better way to see the real Maine than by bike...and no better way to bike it than with this third edition of Howard Stone's 25 Bicycle Tours in Maine--updated, expanded, and featuring all-new maps. Ranging from half-day jaunts to multiday adventures, these tours take you down nearly 2000 miles of Maine's back roads--through weathered lobster ports, past blueberry barrens and gracious Colonial homes, around remote islands and lakes, up (and down!) scenic hills. Stone concentrates on "the roads less traveled...the route to take if you truly want to learn what Maine is all about." (Bates College Alumni Newsletter). Included with each tour is total mileage; a detailed map; complete mile-by-mile directions; information on nearby bicycle shops, accommodations, and eateries; and the author's notes on the country you're biking through. Many tours include bonuses: side trips, detours, and alternate routes to tailor the ride to your taste.

Download or read book Fans written by Larry Olmsted and published by Algonquin Books. This book was released on 2021-03-02 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Olmsted opens a window into a psychologically compelling world of passion and purpose.” —Harvey Araton, author of Our Last Season: A Writer, a Fan, a Friendship Larry Olmsted’s writing and research have been called “eye-opening” (People), “impressive” (Publishers Weekly, starred review), and “enlightening” (Kirkus Reviews). Now, the New York Times and Washington Post bestselling author turns his expertise to a subject that has never been fully explored, delivering a highly entertaining game changer that uses brand-new research to show us why being a sports fan is good for us individually and is a force for positive change in society. Fans is a passionate reminder of how games, teams, and the communities dedicated to them are vital to our lives. Citing fascinating new studies on sports fandom, Larry Olmsted makes the case that the more you identify with a sports team, the better your social, psychological, and physical health is; the more meaningful your relationships are; and the more connected and happier you are. Fans maintain better cognitive processing as their gray matter ages; they have better language skills; and college students who follow sports have higher GPAs, better graduation rates, and higher incomes after graduating. And there’s more: On a societal level, sports help us heal after tragedies, providing community and hope when we need it most. Fans is the perfect gift for anyone who loves sports or anyone who loves someone who loves sports.
