Download or read book Hiking the Road to Ruins written by David A. Steinberg and published by Rutgers University Press. This book was released on 2007 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this user-friendly, beautifully illustrated, and occasionally eccentric guidebook, David A. Steinberg blazes the trail to more than twenty unusual landmarks and hard-to-find destinations-all within a two-hour drive of New York City. Geared for the experienced hiker or camping adventurer, the book includes hikes to a variety of urban ruins, including a World War II-era air force base, a vacant dairy farm, pine plantations, abandoned quarries, tunnels, cemeteries, and iron mines. Each chapter contains detailed directions, a hand-drawn map, suggestions for the optimal time and season to visit, and GPS coordinates to specific sites. Bringing fifteen years of experience as a leader of hikes, Steinberg leaves no part of the trip unplanned. He even suggests ideal conditions for the outing. An overcast day, for instance, sets up the haunted atmosphere appropriate for visiting a water tower in Mountainside, New Jersey, that has links to a murder-suicide in the 1970s. For less experienced hikers, the guide also includes a chapter on equipment and safety, detailed instructions on how to program a hand-held Global Positioning System receiver, and a glossary of terms. Both a practical guide and a creative chronicle, this book is bound to please hikers and history buffs alike.

Download or read book Doodle Town written by Sue Burns and published by Austin Macauley Publishers. This book was released on 2023-07-21 with total page 33 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Doodles stream freely through the act of a dream and all form of creativity will arise along the path. This is the way of creative abandon. This is where the joy becomes magic, roaming free to build that joy into form. And this is where wishes can appear in tandem with the dreams. Doodle Town arises this way when a small, irritated boy falls to sleep after failing to find the gift of joy through sketches made from a pen. But as he falls asleep, his wishes take shape in magical ways that delight us all. Whimsy takes its form and dreams just come to be. It would seem that as frustration pulls up all the stops, where following our dreams will often bring in success. Life will bustle with wonder, color, and vibrant form as frustrations fades away. Here in Doodle, that’s the way things go. Magic hinges on mental abandon. So, journey along through your dreams and you’ll surely find your way.

Book excerpt: Bear Mountain, once home to Native Americans and early settlers, had evolved by the 20th century into one of the nation's most outstanding public parks.

Visionary park management enabled the park to expand, encompassing nature exhibits, a zoo, camps, and restaurants.

Book excerpt: Burned-out after years of doing development work around the world, William Powers spent a season in a 12-foot-by-12-foot cabin off the grid in North Carolina, as recounted in his award-winning memoir Twelve by Twelve. Could he live a similarly minimalist life in the heart of New York City? To find out, Powers and his wife jettisoned 80 percent of their stuff, left their 2,000-square-foot Queens townhouse, and moved into a 350-square-foot “micro-apartment” in Greenwich Village.
