Book Synopsis The Extraordinary Adirondack Journey of Clarence Petty by : Christopher Angus
Download or read book The Extraordinary Adirondack Journey of Clarence Petty written by Christopher Angus and published by Syracuse University Press. This book was released on 2015-02-25 with total page 286 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Author and naturalist Christopher Angus profiles for the first time the adventurous life of Clarence Petty, one of the great pioneer conservationists of the Adirondack Mountain region of New York State. Raised in the heart of the Adirondack wilderness between Tupper and Saranac Lakes, Petty overcame his humble beginnings and pursued a variety of careers as wilderness guide, forester, Civilian Conservation Corps camp director, World War II pilot, district ranger, and aerial forest-fire fighter—ultimately leaving his indelible mark as a lifelong advocate for the protection of the wilderness. The story of Petty's life reads like a Horatio Alger novel. His father moved to the mountains in the 1880s to work as a guide. His mother was a cook for one of the popular sportsmen's hotels in the area. Young Clarence and his brothers enjoyed the kind of childhood freedom and independence that today's youngsters can only dream about. Their father's sense of self-reliance and their mother's drive to educate her sons led all three to attend college. Clarence followed a path of service to the American landscape. His influence on state policy regarding the Adirondack Park and especially its millions of acres of wilderness has been profound. His life story provides a window into the politics of conservation in the Adirondack region from the early days of the twentieth century to the present.
Book Synopsis Living with the Adirondack Forest by : Catherine Henshaw Knott
Download or read book Living with the Adirondack Forest written by Catherine Henshaw Knott and published by Cornell University Press. This book was released on 2018-09-05 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Attitudes about land use, Catherine Henshaw Knott suggests, may reflect profound differences in class, religion, and life experience, pitting urban Americans who see nature at risk against rural Americans whose lives are dominated by nature's forces. She documents the thoughts and feelings of people whose lives are intimately connected to the forest, including loggers, trappers, craftspeople, and guides, as well as tree farmers and maple syrup producers. After describing the key players in the conflict and chronicling battles and bridge-building between stake-holders, Knott concludes that the participation of local people in decision making is the only process that can shift an increasingly hostile cycle toward resolution.

Book excerpt: DYLAN LAWSON IS a typical 13-year-old boy growing up in a small, rural community in the northern Adirondacks of New York; a community that provides a lifestyle rich in outdoor adventure and homespun values. Together with his best friends Brennan and Kennedi, Dylan finds adventure and excitement in what always turns out to be anything but a typical day. But Dylan lives in a different world than everyone else. Dylan is the world’s biggest daydreamer, and he lives his life in both the real world and his dream world. Worlds that often collide, causing struggles and challenges that also provide valuable lessons learned. It begins with a harrowing experience when the boys find themselves lost on Titus Mountain in the midst of the season’s worst snowstorm and ends with the kids taking on the challenge of solving the great murder mystery when they stumble upon a dead body while out kayaking. In between, they become entrepreneurs of a successful start-up business as a result of a school project, compete for the state championship on the school’s hockey team, attempt to win a national contest to bring a superstar singer to perform at the school’s spring dance, confront a terrorist attack at school and become entangled in many more adventures. Dylan’s daydreaming often causes him to be absent-minded, disengaged and irresponsible, but with the help of his adult mentors, he ultimately uses his vivid imagination to become a real-life hero. Daydreamer is an entertaining and enlightening adventure story with comic book like superhero excitement and unexpected twists as Dylan’s world moves from reality to fantasy. The action-packed suspense within each story and adventure will keep you riveted and guessing, but is it real or just another Dylan Lawson daydream? This book is dedicated to all my family and friends in hopes that it encourages them to always dream big and to use the power of imagination to find peace, contentment and joy in their lives. JAMES E. DEVOE lives in Rochester, New York with his wife. Both he and his wife were born and raised in northern New York and own summer cottages on Indian Lake. He has two adult children, four grandsons and a yellow lab named Jessi. Plot When Jim Lawson, Dylan’s father and a sergeant with the New York State Police, is put in charge of investigating a smuggling ring suspected to be running contraband across the U.S. and Canada border on Native American Indian territory, a clash of cultures and economic greed confronts the normally quiet surrounding Adirondack towns. The conflict grows more intense when the young grandson of a tribal chief is kidnapped, followed by the discovery of two mysterious murders. Dylan and his two best friends, Brennan and Kennedi, find themselves in the middle of it all when their own life adventures intersect with the murder mysteries. Theme Dylan Lawson is a typical 13-year-old boy, but he lives in a different world than everyone else. Dylan is the world’s greatest daydreamer and he lives his life in both the real world and his dream world. In his dream world, Dylan lives a comic book super-hero-like life, but his dream world often collides with his real world when his daydreaming leaves him inattentive, absent-minded and irresponsible. Dylan struggles with the conflicts between his two worlds, but with guidance from various mentors, he learns valuable life lessons from every daydream, conflict and adventure. Ultimately, Dylan uses his imagination and dream world to become a real-life hero. Story Lessons • It’s not the quantity that counts most in life, it’s the quality. Dylan wants it all, but ultimately learns the value of making choices and limitations in his life. • Revenge is what you inflict on others, but redemption is what you gain for yourself. Dylan is tempted to get even with an opponent, but learns to seek self redemption rather than revenge against others. • Loyalty, friendliness and non-judgmental, unconditional love are key traits to aspire to.

Book Synopsis Political Ecology and Tourism by : Sanjay Nepal
Download or read book Political Ecology and Tourism written by Sanjay Nepal and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-02-26 with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Political ecology explicitly addresses the relations between the social and the natural, arguing that social and environmental conditions are deeply and inextricably linked. Its emphasis on the material state of nature as the outcome of political processes, as well as the construction and understanding of nature itself as political is greatly relevant to tourism. Very few tourism scholars have used political ecology as a lens to examine tourism-centric natural resource management issues. This book brings together experts in the field, with a foreword from Piers Blaikie, to provide a global exploration of the application of political ecology to tourism. It addresses the underlying issues of power, ownership, and policies that determine the ways in which tourism development decisions are made and implemented. Furthermore, contributions document the complex array of relationships between tourism stakeholders, including indigenous communities, and multiple scales of potential conflicts and compromises. This groundbreaking book covers 15 contributions organized around four cross-cutting themes of communities and livelihoods; class, representation, and power; dispossession and displacement; and, environmental justice and community empowerment. This book will be of great interest to students and scholars in tourism, geography, anthropology, sociology, environmental studies, and natural resources management.
Download or read book Sworn to Silence written by Jim Tracy and published by Post Hill Press. This book was released on 2021-03-16 with total page 334 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jim Tracy’s Sworn to Silence is an unforgettable story of two American lawyers who did the unprecedented. They searched for, found, and photographed the lifeless bodies of their client’s victims and then kept it secret. They did so in the face of unendurable pressure from the authorities and the victims’ families, who suspected the lawyers knew more than they were saying. When the American public eventually learned of the lawyers’ actions, they were horrified, outraged, and vengeful. People could not fathom how two attorneys—fathers of teenage girls themselves—and supposed officers of the law, could conduct themselves in a manner seemingly beyond any concept of humanity. Today, this landmark legal case is studied and analyzed in law schools worldwide. These events have been indelibly marked in Tracy’s mind since he was eight years old; in fact, he was present at the scene of New York state’s largest manhunt after the killer broke into Tracy’s father’s hunting camp in the Adirondack Mountains. In Sworn to Silence, Tracy weaves together a true crime narrative that should rank with some of the most compelling American crime stories of modern times. He does so while taking you—the reader—on a page-turning journey back to the early 1970s, unveiling an American serial killer most people have never heard of.

Book Synopsis The Revolutionary War in the Adirondacks by : Marie Danielle Annette Williams
Download or read book The Revolutionary War in the Adirondacks written by Marie Danielle Annette Williams and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2013-07-02 with total page 130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This lively history of the American Revolution explores the combat that took place in the Adirondack Mountains of New York. Much of New York during the Revolutionary era was frontier wilderness, sparsely populated and bitterly divided. Although the only major campaign in the region would end at the Battle of Saratoga, factional raiding parties traversed the mountains and valleys of the Adirondacks throughout the war. Sir Christopher Carleton led groups of Loyalists, Hessians and Iroquois in successful attacks along Lake Champlain, capturing forts and striking fear in local villages. Mohawk war chief Joseph Brant led a motley band of irregulars known as “Brant’s Volunteers” in chaotic raids against Patriot targets. Marauding brothers Edward and Ebenezer Jessup brought suffering to the very lands they had purchased years before in Kingsbury, Queensbury and Fort Edward. In this volume, historian Marie Danielle Annette Williams chronicles these and other stories of the Revolutionary War in the Adirondacks.

Book Synopsis Adirondack Photographers, 1850-1950 by : Sally E. Svenson
Download or read book Adirondack Photographers, 1850-1950 written by Sally E. Svenson and published by Syracuse University Press. This book was released on 2023-05-15 with total page 213 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Just as the new technology of photography was emerging throughout the United States in the mid-nineteenth century, it caught hold in the scenic Adirondack region of upstate New York. Young men and a few women began to experiment with cameras as a way to earn their livings with local portrait work. From photographing individuals, some expanded their subject matter to include families and groups, homes, streetscapes, landmarks, workplaces, and important events—from town celebrations to presidential visits, train wrecks, floods, and fires. These photographers from within and just beyond the park’s borders, as well as those based in the urban areas from which tourists came to the Adirondacks, have been central in defining the region. Adirondack Photographers, 1850–1950 is a comprehensive look at the first one hundred years of photography through the lives of those who captured this unique rural region of New York State. Svenson’s fascinating biographical dictionary of more than two hundred photographers is enriched with over seventy illustrations. While the popularity of some of these photographers is reflected in the number of their images held in the collections of the Library of Congress, the New York Public Library, and the Getty Museum, little is known about the diverse backgrounds of the individuals behind their work. A compilation of captivating stories, Adirondack Photographers provides a vivid, intimate account of the evolution of photography, as well as an unusual perspective on Adirondack history.
