The world’s best hikes and walks in one volume with breathtaking
photography, detailed terrain and route guides, maps, and expert
descriptions—whether you need to unplug for an afternoon or get
away for longer. A carefully selected collection of 200 routes
designed to appeal to perambulatory enthusiasts of all stripes.
From vigorous hikes around Lake Tahoe to enjoying the charms of
England’s Thames Valley, there is something for everyone.
Itineraries cover a range of sights sure to appeal to a diverse
audience: pastoral countrysides, dramatic mountain views, soothing
seaside panoramas, and historical landscapes such as famous battle
sites or medieval pilgrimage routes. Expert descriptions include
facts and trivia only locals would know and call out special
not-to-be-missed features. Some routes are easy and take a few
hours, while others might require a few days to complete. The book
is organized into 50 main itineraries that link to three to five
additional similar or related routes. Sample entries include New
England’s Franconia Ridge Loop, Washington’s Mount Rainier
Trail, the pilgrimage route of Saint Francis in Italy, and Mont
Blanc, where France, Italy, and Switzerland meet.
"Get your head into the clouds with Aerial Geology." --The New York
Times Book Review Aerial Geology is an up-in-the-sky exploration of
North America's 100 most spectacular geological formations.
Crisscrossing the continent from the Aleutian Islands in Alaska to
the Great Salt Lake in Utah, Mary Caperton Morton brings you on a
fantastic tour, sharing aerial and satellite photography,
explanations on how each site was formed, and details on what makes
each landform noteworthy. Maps and diagrams help illustrate the
geological processes and help clarify scientific concepts.
Fact-filled, curious, and way more fun than the geology you
remember from grade school, Aerial Geology is a must-have for the
insatiably curious, armchair geologists, million-mile travelers,
and anyone who has stared out the window of a plane and wondered
what was below.
