Download or read book Highway 395 Day Hikes and Diversions written by Ron Haggett and published by . This book was released on 2018-11-21 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This guide is meant to give travelers of Highway 395, whether it be by car, RV or motorcycle, those planning vacations in areas along 395, and others interested in what this iconic highway has to offer, an assortment of short hikes and walks and other nearby diversions to serve as a starting point for their adventures. By giving enough information to introduce some of the more easily accessible countryside, my goal is to get people out of their cars and hurried mindsets, and give them a reason to 'stop and smell the pavement'! Hopefully this will also serve the purpose of, as Elmer Fudd would say, "getting a wittle west and wewaxation", and maybe a story or two to tell once the adventure is over.These are not the only stops a traveler can make but I believe they are a good representation of what 395 has to offer in the way of history, geography and wildlife viewing opportunities. I encourage all who adventure along the highway to stop and explore other areas that they find interesting. To quote Buddha, "It is better to travel well than to arrive".This guide tries to explore stops and features along the highway that are of likely interest to the passing motorist. Historic stops, if there is a trail or area large enough to wander around in, a couple of National Parks within a reasonable distance of the highway, obvious geographic phenomena that just demand your attention, and stops for possible wildlife sightings are the main focus of these guides.
Download or read book Sierra Highway written by Stephen H. Provost and published by . This book was released on 2023-08-26 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: They called it the Three Flags Highway because it stretched all the way from Canada south to Mexico. But one section of this road stood out for its singular beauty: the section that ran through and along the eastern base of the majestic Sierra Nevada mountains. It was here where U.S. Highway 395 followed a course set forth to showcase the most scenic lands in all the West. El Camino Sierra, they called it, in homage to the older Spanish trail called El Camino Real. Yet what this highway lacked in historic significance among the Spaniards, it more than made up for in its beauty. To travel U.S. 395 in California and Nevada meant to marvel at snow-capped peaks soaring toward heaven; to revel in the smell of pine that permeated the air; to gaze out on desert sunsets of red and orange and yellow; to fish in clear, tranquil lakes; to bathe in healing hot springs; and to brave the rapids of cold, rushing rivers. It still means those things today, and so much more. There's history to discover along this road. Cities have grown up around it, and boomtowns have become ghost towns beside it. Discover the majesty and history of the Three Flags Highway and El Camino Sierra from the timber country near the Oregon border south through Reno, Carson City, and Nevada's oldest town. Climb toward the crest of the range and explore haunting Mono and breathtaking Mammoth Lakes, then descend to the edge of the Mojave Desert and witness a wholly different kind of beauty. Revisit old 395 where it once continued down all the way to San Diego, the only highway to share part of its length with both the Lincoln Highway and Route 66. Travelers by the millions have followed this path before you, and their stories echo through more than 350 pages in this historical travelogue. Illustrated by more than 550 images, Sierra Highway is the definitive companion for travelers who want to explore the road as it is now-and as it was then. Join us on this fascinating journey.

Download or read book Miracle Country written by Kendra Atleework and published by Algonquin Books. This book was released on 2021-06-01 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: WINNER OF THE SIGURD F. OLSON NATURE WRITING AWARD “Blending family memoir and environmental history, Kendra Atleework conveys a fundamental truth: the places in which we live, live on—sometimes painfully—in us. This is a powerful, beautiful, and urgently important book.” —Julie Schumacher, author of Dear Committee Members and The Shakespeare Requirement Kendra Atleework grew up in Swall Meadows, in the Owens Valley of the Eastern Sierra Nevada, where annual rainfall averages five inches and in drought years measures closer to zero. Her parents taught their children to thrive in this beautiful if harsh landscape prone to wildfires, blizzards, and gale-force winds. Above all, the Atleework children were raised on unconditional love and delight in the natural world. But when Kendra’s mother died when Kendra was just sixteen, her once-beloved desert world came to feel empty and hostile, as climate change, drought, and wildfires intensified. The Atleework family fell apart, even as her father tried to keep them together. Kendra escaped to Los Angeles, and then Minneapolis, land of tall trees, full lakes, water everywhere you look. But after years of avoiding her troubled hometown, she felt pulled back. Miracle Country is a moving and unforgettable memoir of flight and return, emptiness and bounty, the realities of a harsh and changing climate, and the true meaning of home. For readers of Cheryl Strayed, Terry Tempest Williams, and Rebecca Solnit, this is a breathtaking debut by a remarkable writer.

Download or read book A Human Error Approach to Aviation Accident Analysis written by Douglas A. Wiegmann and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-12-22 with total page 174 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Human error is implicated in nearly all aviation accidents, yet most investigation and prevention programs are not designed around any theoretical framework of human error. Appropriate for all levels of expertise, the book provides the knowledge and tools required to conduct a human error analysis of accidents, regardless of operational setting (i.e. military, commercial, or general aviation). The book contains a complete description of the Human Factors Analysis and Classification System (HFACS), which incorporates James Reason's model of latent and active failures as a foundation. Widely disseminated among military and civilian organizations, HFACS encompasses all aspects of human error, including the conditions of operators and elements of supervisory and organizational failure. It attracts a very broad readership. Specifically, the book serves as the main textbook for a course in aviation accident investigation taught by one of the authors at the University of Illinois. This book will also be used in courses designed for military safety officers and flight surgeons in the U.S. Navy, Army and the Canadian Defense Force, who currently utilize the HFACS system during aviation accident investigations. Additionally, the book has been incorporated into the popular workshop on accident analysis and prevention provided by the authors at several professional conferences world-wide. The book is also targeted for students attending Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University which has satellite campuses throughout the world and offers a course in human factors accident investigation for many of its majors. In addition, the book will be incorporated into courses offered by Transportation Safety International and the Southern California Safety Institute. Finally, this book serves as an excellent reference guide for many safety professionals and investigators already in the field.

Download or read book Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil written by John Berendt and published by Random House. This book was released on 1994-01-13 with total page 417 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: NATIONAL BESTSELLER • A modern classic of true crime, set in a most beguiling Southern city—now in a 30th anniversary edition with a new afterword by the author “Elegant and wicked . . . might be the first true-crime book that makes the reader want to book a bed and breakfast for an extended weekend at the scene of the crime.”—The New York Times Book Review Shots rang out in Savannah’s grandest mansion in the misty, early morning hours of May 2, 1981. Was it murder or self-defense? For nearly a decade, the shooting and its aftermath reverberated throughout this hauntingly beautiful city of moss-hung oaks and shaded squares. In this sharply observed, suspenseful, and witty narrative, John Berendt skillfully interweaves a hugely entertaining first-person account of life in this isolated remnant of the Old South with the unpredictable twists and turns of a landmark murder case. It is a spellbinding story peopled by a gallery of remarkable characters: the well-bred society ladies of the Married Woman’s Card Club; the turbulent young gigolo; the hapless recluse who owns a bottle of poison so powerful it could kill every man, woman, and child in Savannah; the aging and profane Southern belle who is the “soul of pampered self-absorption”; the uproariously funny drag queen; the acerbic and arrogant antiques dealer; the sweet-talking, piano-playing con artist; young people dancing the minuet at the black debutante ball; and Minerva, the voodoo priestess who works her magic in the graveyard at midnight. These and other Savannahians act as a Greek chorus, with Berendt revealing the alliances, hostilities, and intrigues that thrive in a town where everyone knows everyone else. Brilliantly conceived and masterfully written, Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil is a sublime and seductive reading experience.
