Santa Fe Writer's Project Ships In The Desert
Book SynopsisIn this linked essay collection, award-winning author Jeff Fearnside analyzes his four years as an educator on the Great Silk Road, primarily in Kazakhstan. Peeling back the layers of culture, environment, and history that define the country and its people, Fearnside creates a compelling narrative about this faraway land and soon realizes how the local, personal stories are, in fact, global stories. Fearnside sees firsthand the unnatural disaster of the Aral Sea—a man-made environmental crisis that has devastated the region and impacts the entire world. He examines the sometimes controversial ethics of Western missionaries, and reflects on personal and social change once he returns to the States. Ships in the Desert explores universal issues of religious bigotry, cultural intolerance, environmental degradation, and how a battle over water rights led to a catastrophe that is now being repeated around the world.Trade Review"In rich, searching essays [Fearnside] shows us that we have much to learn from the realities of a country most Americans can't find on a map, revealing how we are connected, and all responsible for living with integrity." Michael Copperman, author of Teacher: Two Years in the Mississippi Delta"Fearnside explores environmental degradation and religious tensions, the powerful influence of a Soviet past on the present, and what it means to be a teacher in a foreign land. There is much in this book to be admired." Kurt Caswell, winner of the 2008 River Teeth Nonfiction Book Prize, and author of Laika's Window: The Legacy of a Soviet Space Dog

Nextone Inc. Whistler's Way: A Thru-Hikers Adventure On The
Book SynopsisIn Whistler’s Way, Bill Monk’s second and much-anticipated book, the intrepid 60 year-old tackles the wildly gorgeous Pacific Crest Trail, 2,653 miles from the Mexican border to British Columbia, from sea level to a nosebleed-inducing 13,153 feet, a truly life-changing trek. Bill brings readers along on his epic journey, describing every detail of five long months filled with breathtaking views, heart-stopping danger, and unrelenting adventure, testing his physical and mental stamina to the limit. Readers will be delighted that he is joined by his friend Scooby for the first couple of months. People who have hiked or plan on hiking the Pacific Crest Trail, lovers of nature, and those who want know what it's like to accomplish a seemingly insurmountable goal will relish this uplifting story, which paints a magnificent portrait of the outdoors and what it's like to fully immerse oneself in nature's glorious, awe-inspiring, and occasionally very challenging beauty.Trade Review"William "Whistler" Monk invites you to ride on his shoulders, reading his thoughts, simply by turning the pages of Whistler's Way A Thru-Hiker's Adventure on the Pacific Crest Trail . This is Monk's second long trail book. The first chronicled his 2017 eastern adventure, Whistler's Walk: the Appalachian Trail in 142 Days. In Whistler's Way, Monk ran headlong into a big snow year on the PCT. So many hikers "flipped, skipping the Sierra Nevada, re-starting further north, with the hope to return later to John Muir's "Range of Light." Monk, too, made that hard decision, testing his philosophy: "I've never had a bad day in my life." That philosophy was sorely tested again on the slopes of Mt. Jefferson when he careened down an icy bank, breaking ribs. Still, 37 days later, Monk was back on trail. That this book exists at all is the result of Monk's promise made to himself; "[A]s difficult as it was, I committed to myself that I would never miss a day of writing in my journal." Monk's trail companion of over 2,000 miles reported in the Foreword that Monk was "excited and giddy" whenever he stopped to jot journal notes. Whistler's Way certainly covers the trail sights and stunning landscapes, but Monk makes sure to focus on what was most important to him--the people, repeatedly the people, how good-spirited and kind Monk found them as he thru-hiked the Pacific Crest Trail. Just as for Monk, readers of Whistler's Way may find their faith in people renewed and restored". - Best selling author, trail legend and triple crowner Barney "Scout" Mann

Rutgers University Press New Jersey State of Mind
Book SynopsisNo state has been so frequently mocked, maligned, or misunderstood as New Jersey. Yet the state is filled with amazing places and people who rarely receive the media attention they deserve. For the past twenty years Star-Ledger columnist Peter Genovese has been one of the rare voices singing the praises of his state’s hidden wonders and gritty charms. For this new book, Genovese spent months scouring the state for rich stories and fascinating locations. New Jersey State of Mind takes us on a journey to over twenty-five of these places and introduces us to the colorful characters who live and work there, from a demolition derby driver to a female craft brewer, and from a Cuban celebrity chef to a Portuguese pig breeder. He also reveals the many natural wonders that have earned New Jersey its “Garden State” nickname, from cranberry bogs to river tours to wild bird sanctuaries. Collectively, these pieces paint a picture of a diverse state full of hard-working individuals who care for their communities. This book cuts through the myths and stereotypes surrounding the state and reveals the proud beating heart of the real New Jersey.

Association Vahatra in Antananarivo The Protected Areas of Lokobe, Ankarana, and
Book SynopsisThe latest research into the biodiversity of three protected areas of northern Madagascar. This bilingual French-English pocket guide covers three protected areas in northern Madagascar that form a sort of natural tourist circuit for those traveling from Nosy Be to Antsiranana (Diego Suarez) or in the opposite direction. These sites encapsulate an important portion of the terrestrial biotic diversity of this ecologically diverse area of the island and include the lowland moist evergreen forests of Lokobe on the adjacent island of Nosy Be; the dry deciduous, humid semi-deciduous, and tsingy forests of Ankarana, north of Ambilobe; and the montane moist evergreen forests of Montagne d’Ambre, in close proximity to Antsiranana. As the result of varying geological formations and history, superimposed on differing climatic regimes, the flora and fauna of these three protected areas are dramatically different from one another, while their proximity enables visitors to the region to view and experience these contrasting biodiversity treasures. The manner and range of different details presented for each site allow ecotourists, whether nationals or people coming from overseas, to understand some of the unique aspects of each site and better enjoy their visits to them.

Bohlau Verlag Wann war Arabien?: Historische Zeiterfahrungen im
Book SynopsisIn the 18th century, time experiences were in a profound change: This is one of the most influential theses on the historical transition to the ''modern''. But what does ''change of times'' mean if it is not only traced in discursive shifts, but also examined in socio-cultural practices? Mirjam Hähnle takes on this seldom asked question and relates it to research trips - the activity that decisively shaped the order of knowledge of the 18th century. The Arabia Expedition (1761-1767) with its main protagonist, Carsten Niebuhr, focuses on its work on the history of knowledge and culture. She succeeds in showing the great importance that relics -- material witnesses of the past -- played for the historical experiences of travellers in the Middle East. On the one hand, she thus sheds light on the proximity of late Enlightenment research trips to early modern antiquarianism. On the other hand, it shows how in the travel texts with different relics ''older'' and ''newer'' temporalities came together in conflict-laden constellations.
