Download or read book Mosaic written by and published by Big Earth Publishing. This book was released on 2002-03 with total page 118 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Carolinas are blessed with an abundance of public lands and wildlife preserves -- acres of forests, clear streams, and lively ecosystems. Mosaic is a look at twnety-one special places preserved for the recreation and enjoyment of Carolina communities. Nestled in the Blue Ridge Mountains and against streams and rushing rivers to the east, these places inspire and delight visitors, providing pristine places to hunt, fish, hike, and watch wildlife. The work of conserving and protecting these lands first fell to the Duke Power Company, whose land holdings extend throughout the Carolinas. In an effort to secure the best locations for hydroelectric and railroad operations, Duke has also managed to sell/donate more than 69,000 acres in the last 70 years. The company has proven definitively that corporate interests need not override environmental concerns. While building what has been called by the Financial Times of London the World's Most Respected Utility, Duke has exceeded its responsibility to the community by providing exemplary service and serving as a steward of the land, protecting wildlife, conserving natural resources, and protecting fragile areas of outstanding beauty.
Download or read book Subpar Parks written by Amber Share and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2021-07-13 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: **A New York Times Bestseller!** Based on the wildly popular Instagram account, Subpar Parks features both the greatest hits and brand-new content, all celebrating the incredible beauty and variety of America’s national parks juxtaposed with the clueless and hilarious one-star reviews posted by visitors. Subpar Parks, both on the popular Instagram page and in this humorous, informative, and collectible book, combines two things that seem like they might not work together yet somehow harmonize perfectly: beautiful illustrations and informative, amusing text celebrating each national park paired with the one-star reviews disappointed tourists have left online. Millions of visitors each year enjoy Glacier National Park, but for one visitor, it was simply "Too cold for me!" Another saw the mind-boggling vistas of Bryce Canyon as "Too spiky!" Never mind the person who visited the thermal pools at Yellowstone National Park and left thinking, “Save yourself some money, boil some water at home.” Featuring more than 50 percent new material, the book will include more depth and insight into the most popular parks, such as Yosemite, Yellowstone, the Grand Canyon, and Acadia National Parks; anecdotes and tips from rangers; and much more about author Amber Share's personal love and connection to the outdoors. Equal parts humor and love for the national parks and the great outdoors, it's the perfect gift for anyone who loves to spend time outside as well as have a good read (and laugh) once they come indoors.

Download or read book McDowell County North Carolina 1843 1943 written by James Lawton Haney and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2002-11-06 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: McDowell County is unique culturally and topographically. Formed by legislative action in 1842 from Burke and Rutherford Counties, McDowell's northern and western borders trace the towering heights and rugged terrain of the Blue Ridge, while its eastern and southern borders incorporate broad river bottoms and lower hills of the Piedmont. Showcasing more than 220 images, this volume is a mosaic of McDowell County's first century and covers the towns of Marion and Old Fort, as well as smaller communities like Brackettown, Crooked Creek, Dyartsville, Glenwood, Greenlee, Little Switzerland, Montford's Cove, Nebo, and North Cove. Views of waterfalls on the Catawba River and Tom's Creek, along with those of the eerie limestone formations of Linville Caverns, attest to nature's bounty. Aging photographs, many of which are published for the first time, draw attention to families, churches, schools, memorable personalities, and historic sites. This collection also brings to life the county's defining events: the arduous construction of two railways through the mountains, the destruction of Marion by fire in 1894, the disastrous flood of 1916, the textile strike of 1929, and the patriotic response by the citizenry to national crises. Photographs of selected homes, commercial sites, churches, and schools testify to the diverse architectural style and levels of economic and social well-being found in the county.
