This book has been a very useful guide. In addition to the guides for a variety of kayak trips this book also highlights some of the scenic places to visit in the Great Lakes region. The advice given is useful on any sea kayak trip, on any waterway around.

Bill and Sarah's long time knowledge and experience in Great Lakes sea kayaking shows through in this gem of a guide.

If one has a photographic book of the Hamptons, it must be Ken Miller's, The Hamptons, Long Island's East End. The collection of photographs represent the overall feeling of this beautiful area. Wonderful pics with a unique perspective I could'nt be more pleased by my purchase.

This is an excellent review of Urban Forestry practices in general and certainly the permier book for UF in the northeast! Topics are up-to-date and efficiently covered. Contributing editors are some of the top people in the field of Arboricultue/Urban Foresty. Most chapters have excellent examples/visuals and references. A must have for anyone concerned about trees the the urban environment. Cost is steep ... let's hope for a soft-cover edition!

Its hard to imagine that our traditional, yet modern New England town once looked like the photographs in this wonderful book. From the covered bridge across the river, to the horse-and-buggy transportation, the photos capture the magic of Hanover over a period of more than 100 years. Anyone who loves Hanover will absolutely love this book.

"(Harvey Wang's New York is) a little gem that celebrates the obscure New Yorkers who represent the city's diversity..." -Entertainment Weekly.

"Wang's photos are direct, arresting, even soulful, and his character's stories are surprisingly poignant...No matter how many millions of stories are in the Naked City, these are sure to linger in your mind." - Los Angeles Times .

'I can conceive of Harvey Wang's New York as readily as Liebling's, Walt Whitman's or Edith Wharton's...(the book is the product ) of a man who, like Balzac, intuitively understands the primacy of work in the lives of working people." -Albany Sunday Times Union.

This is an extraordinary collection of 78 moving and culturally sensitive photographs, with an historically illustrative accompanying text, of members of the Onondaga Nation of the People of the Longhouse, the Haudenosaunee (Iroquois). Emanating from each individual or group portrait is a feeling of dignity, beauty, courage, resolve, and hope which mirror the long history of native people's struggles to retain and pass on to their children and grandchildren their rich heritage of living on the earth with wisdom and responsibility. Developed as a project with the full cooperation of the subjects themselves,and photographed in the old Longhouse on the Onondaga Nation Territory near Syracuse, NY in 1991/92, this is a remarkable and beautiful visual and historical record of survival.

There are many books about the AT, but this one is superb for it's detail and attention to partial sections for hiking. Can be used for thru hiking as well. Gives day and overnight parking details, profile of terrain, degree of difficulty, recommended direction, water and shelter locations, topo maps, mileage etc. Everything that a hiker needs!! Excellent.

This is a fine book, with much to offer the novice and dedicated hiker alike. Pletcher's work offers guidance for hiking throughout the state of NH. He has somehow managed to narrow his analysis to 100 fine hikes, which promise adventure into all levels of hiking. While it in no way matches the depth of pure trail knowledge one finds in the AMC guide, it instead offers unique, intimate and eloquent analysis of 100 hikes. Each hike is highlighted with its own map, as well as a chart to graph elevation gains. Also, each trail's difficulty and length are assessed and special attractions unique to the hike are noted. Pletcher is clearly proficient in his knowledge of these trails and, more importantly, adept at putting that knowledge into compact summaries for the benefit of would-be hikers. A must addition to one's hiking library. Ernest M. Berube

This is a great book. It tells about some great hikes in central and northeast PA and gives all the great features about each hike.

The author has obviously spent many hours on detailing the highlighs of the trails in addition to researching historiacal facts.Trail directions are clear and concise.
