The South Downs Way (British Long-distance Trails)

ASIN: 187375695X

Fully revised second edition. This 100-mile footpath follows the line of chalk hills stretching from Winchester to Eastbourne. Walking the length of the Downs is the best way to experience this beautiful landscape with its mixture of rolling hills, steep hanging woodland and windswept fields. You’ll also pass through picture-postcard villages with welcoming pubs, thatched cottages and quintessentially English country gardens.

· 12 town plans and 55 large-scale walking maps – at just under 1:20,000 – showing route times, places to stay, places to eat, points of interest and much more. These are not general-purpose maps but fully-edited maps drawn by walkers for walkers.
·
· Itineraries for all walkers – whether walking the route in its entirety over a week to 10 days or sampling the highlights on day walks and short breaks
·
· Practical information for all budgets – camping, bunkhouses, hostels, B&Bs, pubs and hotels; Winchester through to Eastbourne – where to stay, where to eat, what to see, plus detailed street plans
·
· Comprehensive public transport information – for all access points on the South Downs Way
·
· Flora and fauna – four page full color flower guide, plus an illustrated section on local wildlife
·
· Green hiking – understanding the local environment and minimizing our impact on it

Open this book and set off on a raucous romp through the bayous, mountains, and lowlands of America's colorful South. You'll read about the doings of Brer Rabbit, Fool John, and Ol' Gally Mander, and you'll learn such valuable lessons as If you keep your mouth shut, you won't catch flies! Some of the stories, poems, sayings, and superstitions are familiar; others are sure to become new favorites. All are funny, feisty, and absolutely irresistible.

The book contains good practical advice for persons intending to walk the route (carry a whistle, food, many layers of clothing etc.).

The best thing about the book is that it is organised into chapters that deal with an individual section of the South Downs Way. Each chapter covers a section of the Way that can be easily walked in a day (in Winter hours). This helps someone to plan a day's walking.

I have walked most of the South Downs Way, and this book has accompanied me every time.

Cooking 'Way Down South In Dixie

Manufacturer: Kessinger Publishing, LLC
ProductGroup: Book
Binding: Paperback
ASIN: 1432539213

This book represents an analysis of one of the most enigmatic characters in American literature. At the same time, it addresses various questions in Melville's writings, such as passivity, identity, the impersonal and neutral, sexuality and the question of marriage, drug addiction, and ethics (especially the problem of testifying and friendship). Reference is made to the whole range of Melville's writings (excluding his poetry), and each chapter situates the question it treats within a larger cultural or theoretical context, such as the legacy of American Puritanism, the appearance of the first American asylums, Melville's treatment of the institutionalization of madness, and the appearance of certain semi-sciences (mesmerism, physiognomy, palmistry, and so on). The book thus covers Melville's thinking concerning American society, his relationship to the law, his treatment of the arts (specifically Turner's paintings), and his responses to the appearance of meteorology, reading such matters as a political and philosophical statement concerning the modern world.
