Review The Pilgrimage / Penguin Global:Surfing is an obsession, and many a surfer has thrown away life-as-he-once-knew-it for a single wave. In "The Pilgrimage" some of the world's top surf writers pay tribute to 50 of the best - the breaks which have become so much part of surfing folklore that they've developed a life force of their own. Magic amalgams of rock, sand and saltwater, they are capable of everything a wave is capable of. This book is sure to become a classic. The text creates a great sense of place, and there's practical information on getting to (nearly) every break, the best time to go, what to take, where to stay, and what to look out for. "The Pilgrimage" is the perfect read for anyone who has ever caught - or tried to catch - a wave, from grommets to geriatrics. Its destinations include Australia and New Zealand, Indonesia and southern Asia, the north and south Pacific, Africa and the Indian Ocean, Europe and Great Britain, North and South America.

Review Glen Canyon: Images of a Lost World / Museum of New Mexico Press:This is a powerful testament to the beauty and history that gave way to progress. Beginning at Hite, Utah, the site of an old pioneer camp, and following the course of the river through the canyon to Lees Ferry, this book leisurely takes in the sweeping views and labyrinthine side canyons that make the wondrous place that was Glen Canyon. The long 162-mile long stretch of river through the canyon chronicles the natural history of south-eastern Utah and the human history as well. Anasazi ruins and mining camps, heron colonies and hanging gardens, reflecting pools and tapestry walls are here magnificently recalled. With his photographs, writings from diaries kept during his years on the river and recollections, Tad Nichols takes us on a journey - no longer possible today - through the heart of canyon country. This book is what remains of one of the last great wilderness experiences. In the early 1960s the federal government announced a plan to control the Colorado River by building a series of hydroelectric dams. The plan set off a storm of protest. The Sierra Club filed a lawsuit, arguing that one of those dams, to be built at the entrance to the Grand Canyon, would mean the destruction of Glen Canyon, a jewel-like oasis, one of the most beautiful natural wonders of the desert Southwest. But the lawsuit failed, and the dam was built, resulting in the formation of 200-mile-long Lake Powell, one of the largest artificial bodies of water on the planet-and in the inundation of Glen Canyon, which environmentalists called "the place no one knew. [+]" Photographer and filmmaker Tad Nichols did know Glen Canyon, so well that many of the area's place names are the ones that he and his fellow explorers and friends gave them. In this stunning book of documentary photography, Nichols takes readers on a voyage down the Colorado River, traversing stone labyrinths, wild rapids, and narrow beaches. Accompanied by entries from his travel journals of the 1950s and early '60s, his photographs show us just how much was lost when Glen Canyon receded beneath Lake Powell's waters-and what we stand to regain if, as advocates hope, Glen Canyon Dam is dismantled and the Colorado River is allowed to flow freely once again. -Gregory McNamee.

Review Encore!: The Renaissance of Wisconsin Opera Houses (Places Along the Way) / Wisconsin Historical Society Press:A remarkable number of Wisconsin towns and cities were home to an opera house in the late 1800s and early 1900s. Some were freestanding structures built by local benefactors, others were located within a city hall building and financed by local tax dollars. “Opera house” might be a lofty description for several of these opera houses. “Little if any grand opera was performed in these theaters,” notes author Brian Leahy Doyle. In fact, some of these theaters occasionally doubled as a roller-skating rink. Encore! chronicles the histories of ten Wisconsin opera houses and theaters. Each chapter covers a theater’s genesis, design, and construction; its history as a performance space for both professional and amateur theatrical events; and its function as a community center or meeting place, revealing the vital role theater has played in Wisconsin’s history. With the advent of other forms of popular entertainment such as movies, radio, and television, many of these opera houses and theaters fell into disrepair. Faced with losing their community’s opera house, local citizens have restored all but one of the architectural gems featured in this book. By extension, they are continuing a tradition of live performances and have helped revitalize downtown economies by preserving these valuable community resources. [+] The text is accompanied by historical images as well as luminous contemporary color photos that prove these stages are truly ready for their encores.

Review Stellwagen: The Making and Unmaking of a National Marine Sanctuary / UPNE:The Gerry E. Studds Stellwagen Bank National Marine Sanctuary is located at the mouth of Massachusetts Bay, only twenty-five miles east of Boston. The area's nutrient-rich waters attract a cornucopia of sea life-which in turn supports both recreational and commercial fisheries, along with a lucrative whale-watching industry. Peter Borrelli, who served on the sanctuary's federally appointed advisory council for more than ten years, provides an insider's view of the problems of managing a chronically under-funded marine preserve that is often of two minds about its mission. This is a sobering and well-considered examination of what happens when well-intentioned legislation meets the reality of trying to protect an extremely delicate and intensely popular ecosystem.

Review Seldom Seen: A Journey into the Great Plains / University of Nebraska Press:In May 1995, with nothing but a backpack and a vague sense of disquiet, Patrick Dobson left his home and a steady if deadening job in Kansas City, Missouri. Over the next two and a half months he made his way to Helena, Montana, letting chance encounters guide him to a deeper sense of who he was and where he was going. His chronicle of this journey charts his experiences with the seldom-seen people of the small towns, the far-flung outposts, and the Great Plains that make up “our America. ” Beginning as a seeker, Dobson becomes a faithful recorder of other people’s search for contentment, introducing us to a firefighter with a farm at the end of the world, a fiery Christian conservative, a man sharing a van with a crowd of cats, a former circus carny who’s found the secret to living life, and a homeless Native American offering a special and enduring gift. Ridden out of a hostile Kansas town, sniffed by bears, confronted by bison and recalcitrant moose, Dobson cannot help but see how land, sky, weather, and a world of circumstances influence people. Against the majestic sweep of the open plains and endless horizon, his story is one of hope and desperation, richness and simplicity—a portrait of who we are in the heartland of America. (20081223).
