Half an Hour a Day on Foot: An Obsessive Exploration of the Nature and History of the South Shore of Boston
ISBN: 9781449966461 / Angielski / Miękka / 2010 / 262 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) Since December 31, 2008, I have walked a half an hour a day. While many Americans do this much and more, I've challenged myself to find a new place to do so every twenty-four hours. Again, one might suggest that such a move is not so noteworthy, but there are two catches. First, there's my day job. As a naturalist and public program coordinator for Mass Audubon, my walks this past year have taken me to some amazing places: the former leper colony on Penikese Island off Falmouth, Massachusetts, for instance, to an ever-expanding boulder field in the Poconos, and the puffin breeding colony on...

Half an Hour a Day on Foot: Stepping Out of Bounds
ISBN: 9781449996116 / Angielski / Miękka / 2010 / 98 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) One New Year's Eve, inspiration hit. It involved a blog, a camera and a whole lot of walking. But it was perfect. Author John Galluzzo, a naturalist and historian by trade, would walk a half an hour each day, each walk in a different place, for a full year. Eighty percent of the time, he would walk near his home, in parks, on sanctuaries and down streets on the South Shore of Boston. But the other twenty percent of the time, he would step out of those bounds and explore less familiar places. Half an Hour a Day on Foot: Stepping Out of Bounds is the story of those meanderings and ponderings,...

Galluzzo set out to take a half an hour walk every single day in a different place, no matter what the weather was like, no matter what state his health was in. In 2011, he took things 351 steps further. Staring down classic New England snowstorms he set out in January on a new project, determined to walk for a half an hour in every town and city in Massachusetts on protected open space. He stormed the beaches of Cape Cod with the same ferocity with which he scaled the mountains of Berkshire County. Through rain, heat, mud and...

Rockland
ISBN: 9781531608385 / Angielski / Twarda / 2003 / 130 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) Rockland's roots run deeply into American history. Originally a village of Abington, Rockland broke away in 1874 to form its own economically strong and enterprising shoe-manufacturing community. This book transports the reader back in time to meet six-year-old George Rockland Hunt, the "first citizen of Rockland"; Hulda Barker Loud, the irrepressible editor of the Rockland Independent; and Judge George Kelley leading his parade through the center of town. Rockland captures the lives of the merchants of Union Street, the heyday of the local shoe industry, and the stories of Rockland's past as...

Squantum and South Weymouth Naval Air Stations
ISBN: 9781531621193 / Angielski / Twarda / 2004 / 130 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) The eyes of the United States Navy first focused on Quincy's Squantum peninsula in 1909, when daring young pilots from around the world gathered for the Harvard Air Meet. By the 1930s, the Victory Plant--a destroyer plant that set production records--had come and gone and the navy had set up the nation's first naval reserve aviation training center on the site. When air traffic over Boston Harbor thickened in the 1930s, the navy moved its aerial operations inland to the South Weymouth Naval Air Station. That base and its ubiquitous hangar became South Shore landmarks for more than a...

New Jersey Coast Guard Stations and Rumrunners
ISBN: 9781531620943 / Angielski / Twarda / 2004 / 130 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) With its many inlets, points, and coves, the coast of New Jersey stood out as a haven for rumrunners brazenly thumbing their nose at the federal government during Prohibition. New Jersey was also recognized as the birthplace of the federal government's shore-based units of the United States Coast Guard, the organization charged at that time with stopping the flow of "demon run" into America. With its vivid images, New Jersey Coast Guard Stations and Rumrunners revives the days when New Jersey's "coasties" stood toe-to-toe with the rumrunners of the 1920s and 1930s.

Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) Marshfield, a seaside retreat famous for its beaches, hotels, and ocean views, has always shone in summer.

ISBN: 9781531634513 / Angielski / Twarda / 2007 / 130 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) It is hard to believe that just three little words, Isles of Shoals, can evoke as much romanticism as they do. Yet when those words are spoken, remembrances of years long past--of one of New England's earliest and most prosperous fishing communities; of Celia Thaxter and her life well spent surrounded by beautiful flowers, fine art, and
high-society friends; of "Uncle Oscar" Laighton and his ancient but unfailing smile; and of the Victorian grandeur of the expansive Oceanic and Appledore Hotels--bring one back to the glory days of the Isles of Shoals. It is hard to believe that just three little words, Isles of Shoals, can evoke as much romanticism as they do. Yet when those words are spoken, rememb...

Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) The natural beauty of Monhegan Island has continuously attracted generations of artists, day-trippers, and summer sojourners. White Head, Pulpit Rock, and Cathedral Woods are names that resonate throughout New England and beyond. Long before the first ferry full of seasonal visitors arrived, the Monhegan Island fishermen had established a permanent community on the island, scratching out an existence on a remote offshore outpost. As early as 1890, prominent artists Robert Henri and George Bellows, followed by Rockwell Kent and Jamie Wyeth, captured the magnificence of Monhegan. They shared...
