Recreational camping in developed state and national park
campgrounds is one of the most popular summer recreational
activities. Many tent camping trips are fun and problem-free, but a
significant number face some type of unexpected problem. In The
Tent Camper's Handbook, author Frazier M. Douglass IV presents a
guide to help campers plan and execute dryer, warmer, and more
comfortable camping trips.
Drawing from more than forty years of camping experience,
Douglass offers methodical pointers to facilitate economical and
enjoyable camping outings. The Tent Camper's Handbook presents
hundreds of details to help campers buy the most comfortable tents,
sleeping bags, clothing, and camping gear. He offers tips for
assembling and packing kitchen gear, tool bags, first-aid kits,
bathing kits, and personal grooming kits. This guide also includes
dozens of useful suggestions for finding the best camping
destinations, making reservations, packing gear into small cars,
setting up campsites, setting up kitchen flies, starting campfires,
performing camp chores, cooking tasty meals, sleeping well,
avoiding injury and discomfort, respecting the environment, and
enjoying the experience.
A valuable resource for both novice and veteran campers, The
Tent Camper's Handbook details a fresh approach to basic tent
camping that emphasizes comfort and convenience.
The second part of Medievalism and the Academy identifies the four
specific questions that have come to focus recent scholarship in
medievalism: What is difference? what is theory? woman? God? The
impact of cultural studies on contemporary medieval studies is
investigated in this latest volume of Studies in Medievalism, which
also offers an account of the developing interest of contemporary
cultural theorists inthe medieval period. Rather than dismissing
the connection between medieval studies and cultural criticism as
an expression of academic self-interest, the essays identify
specific questions which engage both, such as race, history, women,
religion, and literature. Topics include the use of Augustine by
postcolonial theorists; the influence of studies in medieval
mysticism on the development of women's studies programs; and the
influence of Foucault and NewHistoricism on the study of medieval
history. Contributors: ELLIE RAGLAND, TIMOTHY RICHARDSON, MICHAEL
