Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This unique collection has been formatted to the highest digital standards and adjusted for readability on all devices. The papers brought together in this volume have, in a general way, been arranged in chronological sequence. They span a period of twenty-nine years of Muir's life, during which they appeared as letters and articles, for the most part in publications of limited and local circulation. The Utah and Nevada sketches, and the two San Gabriel papers, were contributed, in the form of letters, to the San Francisco Evening Bulletin toward the end of the seventies. Written in the field, they preserve the freshness of the author's first impressions of those regions.

He kept his interests broad, his knowledge deep yet playful. This book is no exception. This collection of stories from his long and varied life in the great outdoors features flyfishing on western creeks, on such storied trout streams as the Letort, and on the Florida flats; chasing sage grouse in Montana, ptarmigan in Alaska, and quail in Mexico, all behind his beloved bird dogs; and Waterman's philosophical scrutinies of tradition and the mysticism behind shotgunning, rounded out with tales of runaway boat trailers and camping in the Everglades. Written in Waterman's usual humor and understatement, this volume is the crowning achievement of his writing career.

Book excerpt: "Here speaks the poet, the scientist, the devout nature-lover, the skilled literary artist. No volume of Muir's reveals his remarkable qualities better than this; none is more rich and varied in content." -The Pacific Unitarian "In this posthumous volume of John Muir, Professor Bade has collected various papers and letters which will be enjoyed by all who have found the author's interpretation of nature and of our Western mountains to be the truest and most beautiful in American literature. Perhaps Muir's most valuable contribution was that of his clear recognition of God as the creator and revealer of beauty in nature....More than any other well-known writer Muir was at home when alone in the mountains, and he delighted in long journeys afoot over difficult mountain and canyon country." -The Literary Digest "John Muir at his best. They have been arranged chronologically and cover a period of over twenty-five years." -Book Review Digest "Lovers of the West country will be grateful to Mr. William Bade for editing these posthumous papers of John Muir. No one ever loved the West more than this well-known naturalist, and no one ever wrote more enthusiastically of its life in the old days of the seventies." -Catholic World "There is something even more than Wordsworthian in John Muir's feeling for the things of the great outdoors, there is something Franciscan about it. To him the hills and rocks are almost sentient - as they were to the lovable and radiant saint whose brothers the sun and the wind were. It is this pervading feeling that tints and warms the clarity of these bright pages." -The New York Times "Characteristic of a man the charm of whose writings lies in the variety of qualities in his own kaleidoscopic personality." -Outlook "On opening the volume one's eye is caught by these lines: 'Other tourists never leave the trail, content with the window views, and cling to the comforts of the sleeping-car like blind mice to their mothers.' The essays begin with a paper on the mountain sheep, and end with an almost adequate appreciation of the Grand Canyon. Between, we find visualized the splendid scenery of Shasta and Rainier, the Nevada desert, Utah, and San Gabriel Mountains, and we relive with Muir his stirring adventures amidst those scenes. America may well be proud of this poetic mountaineer, this philosopher of the hills." -The Nation CONTENTS Editor's Note I. Wild Wool II. A Geologist's Winter Walk III.

Hart Life in the Great Outdoors (Trials of a Scoutmaster) is a memoir based on the camping trips of Boy Scout Troop 223 of Des Moines, Iowa. The books has been over twenty years in the making, using the notes of author Larry E. Hart’s various Troop Scribes, other Leaders’ slant on “last weekend’s outing,” and his observances of “what occurred.” It is a true diary, written as the Scouts went along. There has been little effort to exaggerate or embellish their endeavors at outdoor living. Life in the Great Outdoors includes remarks and comments made during these times. Readers will relate to how life with teenage boys can be interesting, exciting, and educational for both Scouts and Leaders alike.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ursula K. Le Guin discusses her fiction, nonfiction, and poetry?both her process and her philosophy?with all the wisdom, profundity, and rigor we expect from one of the great writers of the last century. When the New York Times referred to Ursula K. Le Guin as America’s greatest writer of science fiction, they just might have undersold her legacy. It’s hard to look at her vast body of work?novels and stories across multiple genres, poems, translations, essays, speeches, and criticism?and see anything but one of our greatest writers, period. In a series of interviews with David Naimon (Between the Covers), Le Guin discusses craft, aesthetics, and philosophy in her fiction, poetry, and nonfiction respectively. The discussions provide ample advice and guidance for writers of every level, but also give Le Guin a chance to to sound off on some of her favorite subjects: the genre wars, the patriarchy, the natural world, and what, in her opinion, makes for great writing. With excerpts from her own books and those that she looked to for inspiration, this volume is a treat for Le Guin’s longtime readers, a perfect introduction for those first approaching her writing, and a tribute to her incredible life and work.

Book excerpt: This textbook presents a comprehensive overview of the environmental impacts of various types of outdoor recreation, and how these can be best managed. As a field of study, recreational ecology is both multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary, and the authors seek to develop a deeper understanding of both the role and function of the factors that influence visitor numbers and their impact. An accessible and comprehensive textbook, it features numerous types of outdoor recreational activities including hill walking, rock climbing, mountain marathons, skiing, scuba diving and more. Drawn from several global case studies, the authors estimate the current and future numbers involved in outdoor recreation, and how best these numbers can be managed. Effective visitor impact management actions arise from collaboration between recreation ecologists, social scientists, experienced recreation managers, recreation stakeholders and the recreationalists themselves: as such, this book will be multi-disciplinary in scope. This practical and engaging textbook will be invaluable to students and scholars of outdoor recreation and adventure tourism as well as practitioners and managers working in the field.
