Alaska has few roads and even fewer trails-only a few hundred miles
of maintained footpaths exist outside the cities-so paddling the
state's thousands of miles of rivers and lakes is the best way to
get off the beaten track. Paddling Alaska describes the best and
most accessible routes-thirty-six classics in all, from downtown
Anchorage to the Matanuska and Susitna Valleys and the Kenai
Peninsula, and from the southern interior north to the Yukon.
Carefully chosen to accommodate most beginning-to-intermediate
paddlers, each route is within easy driving distance of population
centers, providing quick access to wilderness for city residents
and visitors alike. Look inside to find: * Detailed river
descriptions * Maps showing access points and river miles * Level
of difficulty, optimal flows, rapids and other hazards * Gear and
packing recommendations specific to Alaska conditions

This truly global and visually stunning compendium showcases
some of the most breath-taking pieces of street art and graffiti
from around the world. Since its genesis on the East Coast of the
United States in the late 1960s, street art has travelled to nearly
every corner of the globe, morphing into highly ornate and vibrant
new styles. This unique atlas is the first truly geographical
survey of urban art, revised and updated in 2023 to include new
voices, increased female representation and cities emerging as
street art hubs. Featuring specially commissioned works from major
graffiti and street art practitioners, it offers you an insider’s
view of the urban landscape as the artists themselves experience
it. Organized geographically, by continent and by city – from New
York, Los Angeles and Montreal in North America, through Mexico
City and Buenos Aires in Latin America, to London, Berlin and
Madrid in Europe, Sydney and Auckland in the Pacific, as well as
brand new chapters covering Africa and Asia – it profiles more
than 100 of today’s most important artists and features over 700
astonishing artworks. This beautifully illustrated book, produced
with the help of many of the artists it features, dispels the idea
of such art as a thoughtless defacement of pristine surfaces, and
instead celebrates it as a contemporary and highly creative
inscription upon the skin of the built environment.

The 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.
