MP - University Of Minnesota Press Lake Superior Flavors A Field Guide to Food and
Book SynopsisTrade Review "Lake Superior is a big lake, as Jim and Becca acknowledge on page one of their book, and the food and culture that it creates, inspires, and nurtures represent some of the best in our country. In this book, the daring duo perfectly captures the essence of who we are in the Upper Midwest, and their prescriptive approach for the traveler is both an alluring siren’s song and one of the best guides of its type. A Baedeker with soul for a new generation." —Andrew Zimmern"Lake Superior Flavors gives us a tour around the Lake by way of its fare, a fantastic resource for gastronome visitors and local foodies alike." —Tim Nelson, Principal, Fitger's Brewhouse Brewery and Grille, Duluth, MN "The big lake clearly has a profound impact on those who live near it, and Norton has created a unique guidebook that encourages visitors to seek our memorable food experiences. These aren't reviews so much as in-depth explorations of how these places came to be, and how the thrive in a region that is so heavily dependent on tourism." —Minnpost"As much travel guide as living history, the book shares the best-kept culinary secrets of this gorgeous, rough land and its generous, plain-spoken people. With his Studs Terkel-like eye for a good tale, Norton portrays these characters in memorable detail, while Dilley's photos render them in living color." —Star Tribune"From pickle barrels to wheels of cheese, guidebook Lake Superior Flavors offers many compelling reasons to pull over." —National PostTable of ContentsContentsThe Circle Tour of Lake SuperiorIntroductionMinnesota’s North Shore: From Smoked Trout to Big Boat StoutCanadian Waters: The Return of Eating LocalMichigan’s Upper Peninsula: Pasties, Cudighi, and Big WinesWisconsin’s South Shore: The Gathering PlaceAcknowledgmentsSourcesIndex

Schiffer Publishing Ltd Birdlife at Chincoteague and the Virginia Barrier
Book SynopsisThe seventy-mile chain of largely uninhabited islands along the Eastern shore of Virginia is one of the last remaining natural seashore areas of the Atlantic coast. These barrier islands and bordering marshlands exist today pretty much as they must have in pristine times. Because of its wilderness aspect, diversity, and location of the islands, this region has the richest assortment of bird life in the Middle Atlantic states. The Eastern Shore is known for its numerous nesting colonies of terns, skimmers, laughing gulls, herons, egrets, and ibises; large breeding clapper rail populations; large concentrations of migratory birds of various species and for its large segment of the Atlantic brant and greater snow goose populations that winter there. This book deals with the nearly 200 species of shorebirds, seabirds, and marsh birds that have attracted bird-watchers to the area since the late 1800s.
