Both a history and a guide, this book offers scenic tours to all
106 of Vermont's covered bridges and tells the rich stories behind
them. For many people, covered bridges are much more than
picturesque: They represent a living link with an alluring part of
our past. Along with a sense of romance, we associate them with an
era of hard work, creativity, and ingenuity. Each bridge sparks a
new question: Why was it built, how, when, and by whom? How has it
lasted when so many others have disappeared? This guide will answer
these and many other questions about all 106 of Vermont's
authentic, historic covered bridges. Arranged by convenient driving
tours, it provides precise directions to help travelers find each
bridge--touring through the most scenic countryside along the
way--and shares each bridge's history and folklore. Advice on
photographing the bridges, parking, and finding nearby historical
sites and museums is also included in each tour. An introduction
tells the colorful story of "the great truss race" in the early
days of bridge architecture and design. Detailed scenic driving
tours make this book useful to anyone exploring the back roads of
Vermont. Superb maps mark the location of all 106 covered bridges.

The Handbook of Journal Publishing is a comprehensive reference
work written by experienced professionals, covering all aspects of
journal publishing, both online and in print. Journals are crucial
to scholarly communication, but changes in recent years in the way
journals are produced, financed, and used make this an especially
turbulent and challenging time for journal publishers - and for
authors, readers, and librarians. The Handbook offers a thorough
guide to the journal publishing process, from editing and
production through marketing, sales, and fulfilment, with chapters
on management, finances, metrics, copyright, and ethical issues. It
provides a wealth of practical tools, including checklists, sample
documents, worked examples, alternative scenarios, and extensive
lists of resources, which readers can use in their day-to-day work.
Between them, the authors have been involved in every aspect of
journal publishing over several decades and bring to the text their
experience working for a wide range of publishers in both the
not-for-profit and commercial sectors.
