The countryside, country life: general interest Books
Riverside Publishing Solutions Ltd Unbelievable! A Working Country Life: The story of Martin Aris: farmer, river keeper and mischief-maker
Book SynopsisPeople love books about the countryside, but why do they all tend to be about posh people or the life cycle of the lapwing? Introducing Martin Aris, a working-class farmer, river keeper and mischief-maker, from the Cotswolds and Wiltshire. Martin is a proper country bloke who tells it like it is. Unbelievable! - his illustrated biography and thoughts on nature and life - does feature lovely lapwings etc, but also poaching and punch-ups. Plus, forget the Queen's English: this is written in Martin's Cots-Wilts accent, embellished with expletives. Unbelievable! will make you laugh out loud and reflect on a life well lived.

WW Norton & Co Vermont Waterfalls
Book SynopsisFor those who seek the special serenity that seems to be found near moving water, this guide to waterfalls in one of America’s most beautiful states will be a blissful find in itself. Vermont Waterfalls: A Guide is illustrated with appealing antique postcards of some of the state’s most famous falls as well as modern photographs of falls described here for the first time. Using the same successful geographic organization scheme employed in Connecticut Waterfalls: A Guide, the author makes it feasible to see several waterfalls in one trip. Detailed maps identify waterfalls by their proximity to Vermont's major roadways: US 7 in the west; route 100 bridging the center; and US5/I-91 to the east. With more than 200 entries that include the history of and directions to all these cataracts and cascades, this guide is meant for everyone—waterfall enthusiasts, photographers, hikers, artists, families . . .

Michigan State University Press Lakeshore Living: Designing Lake Places and
Book SynopsisIn this remarkable and remarkably accessible synthesis of ecology, landscape design, and social sciences, the authors present an approach to lakeshore living that addresses the need to create rich, sustainable places and communities on the water, where both the loon and the family find a place, and where the cabin can be handed down with integrity to the grandchildren. Fragile shorelands require care, and that caring comes from knowledge, experience, and an environmental ethic. Radomski and Van Assche argue that an environmentally sensitive lakeshore place and community design is the way forward. While many factors affect the quality of lakes and lakeshore living, property owners and local communities do not have to wait until policies are perfect: the design approach advocated here can be applied in any place people living lakeside can get together and collaborate. The approach presented here is proactive and context sensitive: new designs have to fit the existing ecological, cultural, and policy landscapes. Development is always re-development in this sense. The authors introduce the reader step-by-step to this approach and carefully discuss leverage points that can be helpful in implementation and system change.
