A twelve-month excursion through nature's seasons as recounted by a lifetime naturalist In this "personal encyclopedia of nature's seasons," lifetime naturalist Bruce Beehler reflects on his three decades of encountering nature in Washington, D.C. The author takes the reader on a year-long journey through the seasons as he describes the wildlife seen and special natural places savored in his travels up and down the Potomac River and other localities in the eastern and central United States. Some of these experiences are as familiar as observing ducks on the National Mall in Washington, D.C., or as unexpected as collecting fifty-million-year-old fossils on a Potomac beach. Beyond our nation's capital, Beehler describes trips to nature's most beautiful green spaces up and down the East Coast that, he says, should be on every nature lover's bucket list. Combining diary entries, riffs on natural subjects, field trips, photographs, and beautiful half-tone wash drawings, this book shows how many outdoor adventures are out there waiting in one's own backyard. The author inspires the reader to embrace nature to achieve a more peaceful existence.

Ruimte voor vrijetijd is geschreven in opdracht van de Rijksplanologische Dienst. Het is in twee opzichten een bijzondere publicatie. Ten eerste is het bijzonder dat de vrijetijd weer de aandacht heeft van nationaal ruimtelijke ordeningsbeleid. Te lang waren nationaal beleid en onderzoek vooral gericht op wonen en werken (en daarmee samenhangende mobiliteit). Dit boek plaatst vrijetijd nadrukkelijk naast, maar ook in verband met wonen en werken. Ten tweede is het bijzonder dat in dit boek zowel sociaal-geografen als sociologen hun visie geven op het toegenomen ruimtebeslag van vrijetijdsvoorzieningen in ons land, op de dynamische activiteitenpatronen in vrije tijd en ruimte, en op het mogelijk onderschatte belang van vrijetijdsaspecten bij de woonplaatskeuze van de Nederlandse bevolking. De aan dit boek meewerkende sociaal-geografen en sociologen zijn verbonden aan de Universiteit Utrecht, de Katholieke Universiteit Brabant en aan Universiteit van Amsterdam.

Who are the real campers? Through-hiking backpackers traversing the Appalachian Trail? The family in an SUV making a tour of national parks and sleeping in tents at campgrounds? People committed to the RV lifestyle who move their homes from state to state as season and whim dictate? Terence Young would say: all of the above. Camping is one of the country's most popular pastimes-tens of millions of Americans go camping every year. Whether on foot, on horseback, or in RVs, campers have been enjoying themselves for well more than a century, during which time camping's appeal has shifted and evolved. In Heading Out, Young takes readers into nature and explores with them the history of camping in the United States.Young shows how camping progressed from an impulse among city-dwellers to seek temporary retreat from their exhausting everyday surroundings to a form of recreation so popular that an industry grew up around it to provide an endless supply of ever-lighter and more convenient gear. Young humanizes camping's history by spotlighting key figures in its development and a sampling of the campers and the variety of their excursions. Readers will meet William H. H. Murray, who launched a craze for camping in 1869; Mary Bedell, who car camped around America for 12,000 miles in 1922; William Trent Jr., who struggled to end racial segregation in national park campgrounds before World War II; and Carolyn Patterson, who worked with the U.S. Department of State in the 1960s and 1970s to introduce foreign service personnel to the "real" America through trailer camping. These and many additional characters give readers a reason to don a headlamp, pull up a chair beside the campfire, and discover the invigorating and refreshing history of sleeping under the stars.
