Download or read book New England in a Nutshell The Definitive Guide to the Region written by Steve Jermanok and published by . This book was released on 2020-07-02 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1996, a week before the birth of our child, Jake, I received a copy of the first book I authored, Outside Magazine's Adventure Guide to New England. I had spent the entirety of the prior year traversing the region in every season as I sampled the many trails, bike paths, rivers, lakes, and Atlantic Ocean as much as humanly possible, hiking two mountains a day if I could. Honestly, I couldn't get enough of the outdoors, gleefully paddling down remote rivers or mountain biking deep in the woods and laughing out loud that I'm getting paid to do this! Little did I realize, it would lead to a very rewarding career as a freelance travel writer, writing more than 2,000 articles, and working on another 8 books. To celebrate the 25th anniversary of my first book, I did a deep dive into the hundreds of stories I've written on the region for The Boston Globe, Yankee Magazine, Boston Magazine, Boston Herald, and many other publications. I distilled those stories down to their essence, eliminating fat, while updating and revising the copy. The result is what I believe is a definitive guide to the region, New England in a Nutshell.Instead of authoring a typical guidebook, I resorted to my favorite form of journalism, the round-up article. Perhaps it's my background as a chemical engineer, but I appreciate lean, succinct writing, especially when it comes to something as pragmatic as a guidebook. I want to get to the point quickly and tell you my favorite fall foliage routes, lobster shacks, art historical finds, and more than 50 other topics in this book. There's no better way to deliver this material than in short form so you can quickly peruse the subject and get there as soon as possible. Rest assured that these are my favorite picks, the one percent that made the cut. For example, I have visited over 1,000 inns this past quarter century in New England and I've only included my top 12 in that chapter.
Download or read book A History of Boston written by Daniel Dain and published by Peter E. Randall Publisher. This book was released on 2024-09-19 with total page 942 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Dain’s A History of Boston helps the reader understand how land-use and environment contribute to shaping a community. Dain’s Boston is the go-to book.” - R.J. Lyman Boston is today one of the world’s greatest cities, first in higher education, hospitals, life science companies, and sports teams. It was the home of the Great Puritan Migration, the American Revolution, the Industrial Revolution, the first civil rights movement, the abolition movement, and the women’s rights movement. But the city that gave us the first use of ether as anesthesia, the telephone, technicolor film, and the mutual fund—the city where Martin Luther King Jr. and Coretta Scott founded their world-changing partnership—was also the hub of the anti-immigration movement, the divisive busing era, and decades of self-inflicted decay. Boston has the most important history of any American city. Yet its history has never been given a comprehensive treatment until now. Join Dan Dain as he acts as your tour guide from the arrival of First Peoples up to the election of Boston’s first woman and person of color as mayor. Dain’s masterful work explores the policies and practices that took Boston from its highest heights to its lowest lows and back again, and examines the central role that density, diversity, and good urban design play in the success of cities like Boston.

Download or read book The Complete Guide to Finding the Mammals of Australia written by David Andrew and published by CSIRO PUBLISHING. This book was released on 2015-12-01 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Australia has a rich and unique array of animals, including the largest diversity of marsupials on earth. The recent growth in ecotourism has increased the popularity of mammal-spotting, particularly whale and dolphin-watching, but also spotting of perennial tourist favourites such as koalas and kangaroos. Birdwatchers have for many years known of sites where special or difficult-to-see species may be reliably located. However, despite their comparative abundance and spectacular diversity, many of Australia's unique mammals remain under-appreciated because there has been little available information on where to see them – until now. For the first time ever, The Complete Guide to Finding the Mammals of Australia advises interested amateurs and professionals where to locate many of Australia's mammals. The book describes Australia's best mammal-watching sites state-by-state. It also includes a complete, annotated taxonomic list with hints on finding each species (or why it won't be easy to see); sections on travel and logistics in Australia; and appendices with hints on finding and photographing mammals. This book will be of interest to anyone wanting to observe or photograph Australian mammals in the wild, mammal enthusiasts, biological field workers and volunteers, tourists and ecotourists.
