This is a very detailed book on the Southern Coast of North Carolina. It has everything from restaurants, shopping,lodging and more. If you are planning a trip to the Southern Coast of North Carolina it is a must have. Great book at a great price!

As a landscape designer, I use this book almost daily as a complement to Michael Dirr's texts. The line drawings of each plant in youth and maturity provide a better idea of its habit than most pictures ever could. The "Problems and Maintenance" section has helped me avoid many potentially inferior plants, and the "Adaptability" information gives a nuanced understanding of wind tolerance, pH, light and water requirements. Finally, the "Seasonal Interest" symbol provides a finely tuned assessment of the plant's attractiveness throughout the year: I use it to find plants with year-around interest. This is a book for professionals who have to live, and die, by their plant recommendations.

Native Peoples Of The Northwest is a beautiful guide to land, art and culture, just as titled. Enriched by color photos of beautiful artworks, and color coded foldout maps, it covers the Northwest. Organized by geographic region, it lists major sites, art sources and museums as well as suggested cultural tours and activities of Northwestern Native Americans. All information presented is written with the help of members of Affiliated Tribes of Northwest Indians, a coalition of 54 tribes from Southeast Alaska, Washington, Oregon, Northern California, Idaho and Western Montana. In a foreword, the author team refers to themselves as "full bloods" (Jan Halliday is Scots-Irish and Gail Chehak is Klamath Indian) nicknamed Coyote and Raven. With all the cleverness and subtlety of both their namesakes, they have indeed put together a most useful guide book studded with breathtaking photos of art works. This book is well worth the price for the art photos alone! The Native Peoples Of The Northwest also contains history nuggets and suggestions in appendices on powwow etiquette, sacred sites and buying Native art. There is even a calendar of cultural and artistic events in the areas covered. In addition to suggestions and tips to buyers and collectors of Native American art, there are suggested reading resources with brief thumbnail sketches set in the margins. The wonderful thing about this book is it is a part of promoting, protecting and extending Native American art, culture, and history. An example is in the preface is the realization of the dream of coauthor Gail Chehak to establish a large Northwestern Indian Art Festival. Now in Portland there is an annual festival Memorial Day Weekend called Indian Art Northwest - in its third year. This is wonderful news for everyone for we are all enriched by this vast and colorful heritage. The authors endorse Indian-guided tours and Indian-owned museums because the point of view is so different from the non-Native perspective. For example, did you know the Lilijet Feast House in Vancouver is the only truly Native restaurant in the region? Decorated and presented in the traditional Longhouse style, the Native American owner presents entrees such as alder smoked salmon, prawns, venison, wild rice, steamed ferns and bannock bread. This is a beautiful book, much more than a guide book. It encourages you to sample a rich diversity of Native American heritage. It makes one long to explore the area. Perhaps a similar book on "Native Americans of the Southwest" is forthcoming? One can only hope. Nancy Lorraine, Reviewer

I bought this guide to the North Carolina coast at a book signing by the author while I was at the Outer Banks. It was very useful with an interesting and different slant from the typical guidebook. It makes me want to come back and spend more time exploring other parts of the area in more depth. I highly recommend it for anyone who loves the natural world and North Carolina.

Hopefully Amazon will have fixed this charming novel's classification by the time you are reading this, but just in case, this is not a horror story, or even a suspense story, or a mystery. It is, however, a marvelous tale of growing up gothic in Cleveland.

Tom, the narrator tells the story of his experiences as he approaches his thirtieth year. He is a goth by choice, but he is also the owner of a publishing company and a loyal son and friend. By no means is he stereotypical, nor are his compatriots, all of whom share his own search for identify.

The largest part of the story is about his loss of one relationship and the redefinition of several others. It isn't the best of times for Tom, but in reflection, perhaps it is. As he faced crises and worked through his feelings I was charmed and heartened by his willingness to lean into to things and hold onto the good parts. In the end we find that Tom has maintained his identity even as he has flexed and changed. It is an unexpectedly positive novel for one about goths; not that it doesn't have its share of grim stuff.

The writing is absolutely crystalline. This is Crowley's first novel, but I honestly hope he goes on to write more. The characters, as crazy as some are, all ring true and I was quickly absorbed into the story. Considering I was expecting a horror story (it does use the work vampire in the blurb) I am surprised how much I enjoyed the book.

If you are interested in an interesting and moving story of a lifestyle that is really the modern version of the beats, read this book. If you enjoy a straightforward, coming of age / love story, but this book. If you like to occasionally end a book smiling, read ... You know.

First, it is a mystery to me why this title doesn't appear from search words "Tlingit, Haida or Salish" since its content goes far beyond Indian Painting/art. While Indian painting, specifically house fronts and interior screens (dying arts enjoying a resurgence) are extremely well covered and illustrated in this book Malin adeptly intertwines culture, geography and history which makes these art forms come alive and take on meaning beyond 'art for art's sake.' This book could have been complete with just the 120 pages of fantastic color and black and white picture and illustrations -- that combined with 160 pages detailing and clearly explaining geography, culture and cultural influences and historical information relating to the Northwest Coast tribes of Alaska and Canada (Tlingit, Haida, Tsimshian, Tsimshian, Bella Coola, Kwakiutl, Salish and Nuu chaa nulth) make this a "must" for anyone interested in these tribes -- either in their art or culture and history! Art was integral to the daily life of these natives...tools made and used for daily subsistence and living were artistically fashioned using the crests "owned" by each clan. Social rank and wealth were at the heart of exterior house painting and interior screens. The author's 55 year fascination with the tribes of the northwest coast is clearly evident in this book.

Jeremey Snapps new book "Northwest Legacy" is a historical documentary for the avid maritimer. Its indepth photos suspend our imaginations in a time that should be held for future generations to reflect upon the time when steam and sail was very real to life. I have found myself intrigued over and over with individual shots of daily working life on the water and dockside, bringing fantacies of what life and work in these situations were really like in the Northwest. Three cheers! I look forward to the next books in the series.

If you have ancestors who lived in Northern Ireland in the early 1800's, relevant volumes in this series are a must-read. This collection of field reports, written in the 1830's, will give real insight into how people worked and lived. Twenty to thirty pages on each parish provide enormous social and geographical detail, including lists of the most common surnames on each cemetery's gravestones. The series is most useful if you know the part of the Ulster county where your folks lived, but will be meaningful even if you can't pinpoint their location.
