Montana Off the Beaten Path features the things travelers and
locals want to see and experience--if only they knew about them.
From the best in local dining to quirky cultural tidbits to hidden
attractions, unique finds, and unusual locales, Montana Off the
Beaten Path takes the reader down the road less traveled and
reveals a side of Mississippi that other guidebooks just don't
offer. In addition to the text being fully revised and updated, the
8th edition features a new cover treatment and new series branding.
Tired of the same old tourist traps? Whether you're a visitor or a
local looking for something different, Wyoming Off the Beaten Path
shows you the Equality State you never knew existed. Visit the
ghost town of Piedmont, where Butch Cassidy and his boys reportedly
buried gold. Enjoy an inspiring view of the second highest peak in
Wyoming at the Chapel of the Transfiguration. Or visit the Miners
& Stockmans Bar, the state's oldest house of libation. So if
you've "been there, done that" one too many times, get off the main
road and venture Off the Beaten Path.
Roping a buffalo, running off cattle rustlers, sitting out a winter
storm in a cave--adventures like these were all part of everyday
life for the cowboy. They're depicted here in stories that have
stood the test of time, by writers whose words are just as funny
and wise today as they were one hundred years ago. Covering all
corners of the great Western expanse--from Montana to Mexico,
California to the Mississippi--the stories in this collection
represent not just the Anglo male perspective but also that of the
blacks, Mexicans, and women who made their lives on the range. It
features works by Owen Wister, Theodore Roosevelt, Frederic
Remington, Isabella L. Bird, Nat Love, Bill Nye, Charlie Siringo,
Zane Grey, Andy Adams, Mark Twain, E. Mulford, O. Henry (creator of
the Cisco Kid), and many others, including some surprises by
little-known authors.
Dream Gardens explores twelve dream gardens in challenging spaces,
from tiny plots in the inner city, suburban blocks, sandy seaside
properties to expansive country acreages. Michael McCoy, well-known
garden designer and host of popular Australian TV series Dream
Gardens (in which the book's twelve gardens also feature) shows us
the challenges and the solutions for creating beautiful functional
gardens. By drawing on great garden design each garden finds the
perfect solution. In each challenging case, a beautiful garden is
created to meet their owners needs. Dream Gardens explores the
central ideas of garden design, and illustrates, with stunning
photography, how we can use design to make simple changes to our
gardens to enjoy beautiful and functional living spaces. The book
also features interviews with well-known garden designers,
including Fiona Brockhoff and Paul Bangay, discussing their
featured gardens.
