Robert Manning (died c.1338) was a Gilbertine monk from
Lincolnshire whose early English verse writings make him a notable
forerunner of Chaucer. The first part of his Chronicle or Story of
England translates into Middle English rhymed couplets Geoffrey of
Monmouth's fabulous Latin history, as retold in the Roman de Brut
of Wace, with some additions from Bede. Manning's express purpose
is to let the people know which of their kings 'were fools and
which were wise'. Beginning with the genealogy of the earliest
British kings, he traces the arrival of the Trojan Brutus on
British soil, tells of the battles of Arthur and concludes with the
death of Cadwaladr in 682. Published as part of a two-volume set in
1887, Volume 1 takes the narrative up to Arthur's time and includes
an introduction and modern English side-notes by the scholar
Frederick James Furnivall (1825 1910).

There are fifty-five National Heritage Areas scattered across the
US and they continue to grow in number and diversity. Though
they're not officially national parks, their conservation,
education, and recreation related objectives echo those of the
national parks: to conserve nationally significant natural and
cultural landscapes and to make them available to the public for
purposes of education, recreation, and sustainable tourism-related
economic development. But the methods of achieving these objectives
are different-very different-than those used in the national parks.
While both national parks and NHAs are established by Congress,
national parks are conventionally large areas of public land that
are owned and managed by the National Park Service (NPS). NHAs take
a more inclusive, partnership-based approach to their work; they
offer local citizens, government at all levels, non-profit
organizations, and private sector enterprises the opportunity to
define, celebrate and conserve the natural, historic, cultural,
scenic and recreational resources that have been vital in shaping
their identity and destiny. NHAs are composed primarily of private
lands; they're living landscapes where participants reside, work
and play. Each chapter in this guidebook describes the remarkable
natural and cultural resources that define NHAs and highlights
nearby visitor attractions, enticing readers to visit NHAs and to
enjoy and appreciate the attractions offered.
Walking is simple, but it can also be profound. In an increasingly
complex and frantic world, walking can help simplify and focus our
lives, is an elegantly sustainable form of recreation, deepens our
understanding and appreciation of the world's great cultural
landscapes, stimulates our thinking, and makes us healthier and
happier in the process. In Walks of a Lifetime from Around the
World, Bob and Martha Manning invite readers to join the walking
community. Their book explains why, how, and where to walk, with an
emphasis on multi-day, long-distance trails -- walking vacations of
a few days to a few weeks. The heart of the book is a series of
first-hand descriptions of forty of the world's great multi-day
walks, spanning six continents, most U.S. states and Washington,
DC, and ranging from inn-to-inn walks to backpacking treks. Many of
these walks are among the world's most iconic. Trail descriptions
are richly illustrated with color photographs and maps.
