Graphic Arts Books One Man's Wilderness, 50th Anniversary Edition:
Book SynopsisWinner of the National Outdoor Book Award. Celebrating the 50th anniversary of when Dick Proenneke first broke ground and made his mark in the Alaskan wilds in 1968, this bestselling memoir features an all-new foreword by Nick Offerman plus color photographs not seen in print for over 20 years.To live in a pristine land unchanged by man...to roam a wilderness through which few other humans have passed...to choose an idyllic site, cut trees, and build a log cabin...to be a self-sufficient craftsman, making what is needed from materials available...to be not at odds with the world, but content with one’s own thoughts and company...Thousands have had such dreams, but Dick Proenneke lived them. He found a place, built a cabin, and stayed to become part of the country. One Man’s Wilderness is a simple account of the day-to-day explorations and activities he carried out alone, and the constant chain of nature’s events that kept him company. From Dick’s journals, and with firsthand knowledge of his subject and the setting, Sam Keith has woven a tribute to a man who carved his masterpiece out of the beyond.Trade Review"[Proenneke's] journals from the text of this handsome book, and his sparkling color slides illustrate it with a beauty that tugs at your heart and sets your heels to itching just a little. You owe yourself the pleasure of this book." * Biloxi Sun Herald *"The best modern piece of prose about Alaska, the one that gives the truest picture of what living in the bush today is like for the lone individual." * Anchorage Daily News *"This book made a big splash when it debuted in 1973. Keith based the text on the journals and photography of Richard Proenneke, who, after racking up years of 50-hour work weeks, did what many of us only fantasize about: he chucked it all and went to live in the woods. . . Proenneke has become an icon for naturalists. Though few will follow Proenneke's lead, his story can be quite inspiring." * Library Journal *"Richard Proenneke, an emigre from Iowa to Alaska, kept a journal during the time he was fulfilling his dream of living in an altogether undeveloped part of Alaska. Parts of the journal have been made into a book by Sam Keith, along with colored photos that prove Alaska is certainly one of, if not the, most beautiful places anywhere." * Boston Globe *"It is soul-reading -- the simplicity of a man's inner feelings stated in terms which leave no misunderstandings . . . A classic of its kind." * Lansing State Journal *"Many of us will never realize the dream of such an escape from our hectic, complex life to that of the solitude of the wilderness. But in the pages of this book we can share with a man who lived his dream. The book is certain to bring much pleasure to anyone who loves the outdoors." * Portsmouth Times *"This is a record of a man in our own time who went into the bush. It is the story of a dream shared by many, fulfilled by few, brought into sharp focus by the beautiful color photographs and the simple account of Proenneke's life." * Burlington Free Press *"Sometimes it is difficult for a person to know their strengths and weaknesses while living among others; one way to discover them is to live alone. Of course, most people will never venture far from the comforts of home, but Proenneke felt the call of the wild and lived the second part of his life in Alaska. . . . Keith and Proenneke were coworkers on Kodiak Island and formed a friendship that lasted for decades. . . Keith’s writing is clear and descriptive; one can sense each strike of the ax and draw of the knife. The reader feels he is experiencing the adventure as well. The journal descriptions of the Alaskan wilderness flow from the page to the reader." * Foreword Reviews *

Bradt Travel Guides Madagascar: The Eighth Continent: Life, Death and
Book SynopsisMadagascar is a land where lizards scream and monkey-like lemurs sing songs of inexpressible beauty. KKnown as the Great Red Island, it is a place where fossa and tenrecs, vangas and aye ayes thrive in a true 'Lost World' alongside bizarre plants like the octopus tree and the three-cornered palm. And where the ancestors of the Malagasy, as the island's 18 tribes are collectively known, come alive in rollicking ceremonies known as "turning the bones." This natural and cultural history of Madagascar is an exploration of what makes the island so extraordinary. It is the only book that combines cutting-edge science and conservation with adventure travel and historical narrative.

Cicerone Press The Rhine Cycle Route: Cycle touring EuroVelo 15
Book SynopsisThis comprehensive guidebook to EuroVelo route 15 offers a detailed stage-by-stage description of the 1368km route along the Rhine, one of Europe's great rivers, passing through six countries on its way from Switzerland to the North Sea. The cycling is easy, downhill and along dedicated cycle lanes, the countries visited are very cycle-friendly and the waymarking is excellent. The whole trip can be completed in two weeks by a fit cyclist. The guide includes plenty of information to help you plan your trip, with advice on travel, accommodation and facilities. The full route is presented in 27 stages of 32-68km, with step-by-step route description, 1:100,000 mapping and notes on local points of interest. A facilities table, glossary and list of useful contacts can be found in the appendices. Starting in the Swiss Alps with high mountains, deep glacial valleys and gorges, the route soon reaches Europe's third largest lake, the Bodensee, and its greatest mainland waterfall. After Basel, the Rhine becomes a broad river, now the world's busiest river trading artery. The middle Rhine, between Bingen and Koblenz, forces its way through the narrow rocky Rhine gorge, lined by romantic castles perched above Germany's finest vineyards. Finally, the river passes through low-lying Holland, famed for its many flood dykes and windmills.Table of ContentsMap key Overview map Preface Introduction Background The route Natural environment Preparation Getting there and back Navigation Accommodation Food and drink Amenities and services What to take Safety and emergencies About this guide The route Alpenrhein (Alpine Rhine) Stage 1 Oberalppass to Ilanz Stage 2 Ilanz to Chur Stage 3 Chur to Buchs Stage 4 Buchs to Bregenz Hochrhein (High Rhine) Stage 5 Bregenz to Konstanz Stage 6 Konstanz to Schaffhausen Stage 7 Schaffhausen to Waldshut Stage 8 Waldshut to Basel Oberrhein (Upper Rhine) Stage 9 Basel to Neuf-Brisach Stage 10 Neuf-Brisach to Strasbourg Stage 11 Strasbourg to Drusenheim Stage 12 Drusenheim to Karlsruhe Stage 13 Karlsruhe to Speyer Stage 14 Speyer to Worms Stage 15 Worms to Mainz Mittelrhein (Middle Rhine) Stage 16 Mainz to Bacharach Stage 17 Bacharach to Koblenz Stage 18 Koblenz to Remagen Stage 19 Remagen to Köln Niederrhein (Lower Rhine) Stage 20 Köln to Düsseldorf Stage 21 Düsseldorf to Duisburg Stage 22 Duisburg to Xanten Stage 23 Xanten to Arnhem Delta Rijn (Rhine Delta) Stage 24 Arnhem to Wijk bij Duurstede Stage 25 Wijk bij Duurstede to Schoonhoven Stage 26 Schoonhoven to Rotterdam Stage 27 Rotterdam to Hoek van Holland Appendix A Route summary table Appendix B Facilities summary table Appendix C Tourist offices Appendix D Youth hostels Appendix E Useful contacts Appendix F Language glossary
