Workman Publishing Surviving the Great Outdoors: Everything You Need
Book Synopsis“Leonard’s durable tome (seriously, the cover is rubber) is stuffed with so many tips about surviving in the wild, you’ll be able to leave your smartphone behind.” —Entertainment Weekly, Best New Books This easy introduction to outdoor life will ensure that even a novice won’t get lost in the woods while finding an activity he loves to do in the great outdoors--whether it’s hiking a 14er or camping on ice. With 400 strategies for engaging in the outdoors, and expert tips and tricks, Surviving the Great Outdoors makes Mother Nature easier to understand than ever before. Brendan Leonard, writer, filmmaker, and outdoor adventurer, shows the reader how rewarding it can be to live life away from the computer and get outside. From mountain climbing, to skiing, sledding, and sailing, Leonard shows that you don’t need to be a risk taker to enjoy the outdoors. And if the reader does find himself at the point of man vs. nature, Leonard shares survival skills from how to bandage a wound and read a topographical map, to how to drive on sand and remove a tick from your skin—all organized thematically and written in short takeaway entries with helpful line drawings. Bound in a uniquely rugged (and waterproof!) PVC cover material, Surviving the Great Outdoors is a friendly way into the outdoor lifestyle, whether you're looking to dabble or go all in.Trade Review“Leonard’s durable tome (seriously, the cover is rubber) is stuffed with so many tips about surviving in the wild, you’ll be able to leave your smartphone behind.”—Entertainment Weekly, Best New Books “Essential knowledge for planning rustic adventures. . . . Encyclopedic.”—5280 magazine “Tips for surviving, thriving in, and enjoying the wilderness beyond urban dwellers’ backyards. With diagrams, lists, and questions answered . . . even the most uninitiated will feel ready to tackle the (truly) great outdoors.”—Booklist “Highly giftable.”—New York magazine “How much embarrassment I would have been spared had I owned this book when I first started going on adventures. I'm putting it in my glove compartment to prevent future calamity.”—Jonah Ogles, Outside magazine “The pragmatic and useful advice is from real experience, and cuts through the myth and confusion created by marketers and our well-intentioned friends and family. The Great Outdoors is worthy of your shelf space—even if your home has limited space, i.e., a camper van.”—Mitsu Iwasaki, executive director, Northwest Outward Bound School “Most guide books are specific to an area or already assume a certain level of ‘radness’ for the potential reader. Surviving the Great Outdoors highlights that being rad is up to the individual to decide and it can be just as great to camp in the backyard—and he’ll tell you how—as it is to explore mountains from New Hampshire to the Himalayas.”—Stacy Bare, director, Sierra Club Outdoors

WW Norton & Co The Green Guide to Low-Impact Hiking and Camping
Book SynopsisOriginally published as Backwoods Ethics in 1979, Laura and Guy Waterman's definitive guide to low-impact hiking and camping was a prophetic call to reevaluate the impact of outdoor recreation on the wilderness. Enthusiastically received by environmentalists and wilderness managers at the time, its warnings and advice are now more relevant than ever. With wisdom and gentle humor, Laura and Guy Waterman present a strong case for the importance of respecting the natural world while you're enjoying it. In his foreword to the new edition, world-famous environmentalist Bill McKibben puts the Watermans' advice into context for today's world. Day hikers, campers, and backpackers who follow the sensible techniques laid out in this book will help preserve the wilderness experience for generations to come.Trade Review"The Green Guide to Low-Impact Hiking and Camping is part how-to, part meditation, and part history. The authors, with subtle humor, take the reader on a profound adventure into the woods. We learn how to keep the mountain world the way we found it, and how to inspire others to step outside and explore the wild." -- Lucas St. Clair - AMC Guide to Winter Hiking & Camping"Although information and ideas now flow through our society more easily than ever, it still takes continuous effort for new understanding to settle in. Over the past generation, we've seen more and more backcountry travelers who have adopted the concept of low-impact camping and hiking. The Green Guide to Low-Impact Hiking and Camping is just this type of positive force for cultural change. Our forests and mountains have a brighter future thanks to this clear and understandable work by Laura and Guy Waterman, two legends of the northeast mountains." -- Jensen Bissell - Baxter State Park"With ultramarathoners popping champagne corks atop Katahdin, and smartphones seemingly standard backpacking gear, we need to read Laura and Guy’s Backwoods Ethics more than ever! An essential book for those who camp and wander in wild places." -- Robert Alden Rubin - On the Beaten Path: An Appalachian Pilgrimage"For those who venture into the back country to hike, climb, or camp and have true reverence for the bountiful beauty they find there, this book is a must read." -- Tom Wessels - The Myth of Progress: Toward a Sustainable Future"If you care about wild places, this book is for you. Not only does it provide specific recommendations and techniques for minimizing impacts to our shared backcountry, it also, and perhaps more importantly, encourages each of us to explore our collective role as stewards of the natural world around us. As more and more people venture into the outdoors for solace, renewal, challenge, fellowship, or solitude, the cumulative impact to the land is undeniable. However, each of us can put our own personal stewardship ethic into action, and The Green Guide to Low-Impact Hiking and Camping provides for us the foundation and knowledge for making a real difference for the future of the places we cherish." -- Ben Lawhon, Education Director of the Leave No Trace Center for Outdoor Ethics"Nearly four decades after its groundbreaking appearance, "Backwoods Ethics" remains as relevant today as it did when the Watermans first wrote it. How do we reduce our impact on the backcountry when we're all so busy "connecting" via smart phones and tablets, when so many of us seek greater and greater challenges in the outdoors? The Watermans don't just ask us to minimize our impact -- they cajole and question us with humor and with love -- love for the backcountry and for all of us who use it." -- Rebecca Oreskes

But it offers more than that. By identifying plants that may have no name, place or purpose in today's society and revealing a world of history, uses and lore, the book wisely and matter-of-factly encourages a deeper relationship with nature. The message is also empowering." --Civil Eats"Thoughtfully written and thoroughly tested, Guide to Wild Foods and Useful Plants is the most authoritative and comprehensive book on foraging for nature's provisions and preserving our ancient relationship with the Earth itself." -- Backwoodsman Magazine
