An inspirational bucket list for hikers, history buffs, armchair travelers, and all those who wish to walk in the hallowed footsteps of American history. From the battlefields of the American Revolution to the trails blazed by the pioneers, lands explored by Lewis and Clark and covered by the Pony Express, to the civil-rights marches of Selma and Montgomery, this is the official book of the country's 19 National Historic Trails. These trails range from 54 miles to more than 5,000 and feature historic and interpretive sites to be explored on foot and sometimes by paddle, sail, bicycle, horse, or by car on backcountry roads. Totaling 37,000 miles through 41 states, our entire national experience comes to life on these trails--from Native American history to the settlement of the colonies, westward expansion, and civil rights--and they are beautifully depicted in this large-format volume.

SeaLegacy co-founder, National Geographic photographer, acclaimed ocean conservationist, and TED Talks favourite, Paul Nicklen traces his extraordinary love affair with the polar regions in his most recent book, Born to Ice. His powerful images of iconic arctic and antarctic wildlife and scenery, coupled with his inspiring photographic storytelling, blends ethereal beauty of the icy landscape with a compelling call to action. The Arctic is in Paul Nicklen's blood. Born and raised on Baffin Island, Nunavut, he grew up in one of the only non- Inuit families in a tiny Inuit settlement amid the ice fields, floes, and frigid seas of Northern Canada. At an age when most children are playing hide-and-seek, he was learning important lessons on survival; how to read the weather, find shelter in a frozen snowscape, or live off the land as his Inuit neighbours had done for centuries. Today, Nicklen is a naturalist and wildlife photographer uniquely qualified to portray the impact of climate change on the Polar Regions and their inhabitants, human and animal alike. Whether he is diving off the floe edge in the Canadian Arctic or sitting on a piece of glacial ice in Antarctica to scout for leopard seals, Paul Nicklen goes to great lengths and depths to secure his award-winning images of life in the polar regions. This National Geographic-featured photographer and conservationist never shies away from extreme and challenging conditions as he feels urgently compelled to connect a global audience to the species and ecosystems he cares so deeply about. One of the world's most acclaimed nature photographers, Nicklen focuses on marine wildlife and polar environments. For Nicklen, we must act now to save Earth's delicate ecosystems and the precious diversity of life. Combining some of his most extraordinary photographs with personal experiences - learning and inspirational - this stunning Paul Nicklen photo compendium is both a remarkable collection of nature photography and a passionate rallying cry to stand up, have a voice, and enact positive change for our planet. 200 colour and b/w photographs

An herber Schönheit kaum zu überbieten und voller mystischer Legenden, berührt Schottland die Herzen seiner Besucher auf besondere Art und Weise. Wer einmal dort war, wird sich immer wieder nach dem hohen Norden Großbritanniens, nach dem Lande Alba, sehnen. Die wilde Natur, ein rauer und gleichzeitig herzlicher Menschenschlag sowie eine legendäre Geschichte stehen für ein Sehnsuchtsziel. So golden wie die Gipfel der Cairngorms, so dunkel wie Loch Ness, so einsam wie die Moore in den Highlands, so sehnsuchtsvoll wie das Lied des Dudelsacks, so würzig wie der Whisky und so wildromantisch wie die windumbrausten Inseln im Norden – so mannigfaltig schön ist Schottland! Den Naturfotografen Ferry Böhme zieht das Land vor allem wegen seiner Naturvielfalt seit vielen Jahren in seinen Bann. Er lädt mit seinen malerischen, stimmungsvollen Bildern dazu ein, Schottlands Wildnis geradezu intim zu erleben – fernab des Trubels und abseits der Touristenmeilen. Liebevolle Details zeigen dabei auch die Unberührtheit weniger bekannter Plätze und entlegener Winkel. Entdecken Sie neben beliebten Klassikern in besonderem Maße Gegenden Schottlands, die manchmal so einsam und ruhig sind, dass die eingefangene Stille auf angenehm berührende Weise „laut“ erscheint. Der Fotograf Der Tierarzt und Naturfotograf Dr. Ferry Böhme aus Fürstenfeldbruck geht seiner Fotoleidenschaft in den verschiedensten Ecken der Welt nach. Der raue Charme der schottischen Natur hat es ihm aber besonders angetan und zieht ihn immer wieder zu allen Jahreszeiten in den Norden der britischen Inseln. Er ist ebenso seit vielen Jahren im „Revier vor der Haustür“, vom Vogtland bis zum Bodensee, für sein Projekt „Abenteuer- Wildnis-Heimat“ und den Naturschutz mit der Kamera unterwegs. Ferry ist als Fototrainer und Fachreferent an Fotoakademien und Bildungseinrichtungen im süddeutschen Raum tätig, langjähriger Vortragsreferent u.a. beim Deutschen Alpenverein und Vollmitglied der Gesellschaft für Naturfotografie (GDT e.V.). Er unterstützt seit 15 Jahren die Menschenrechtsorganisation TARGET e.V. von Annette und Rüdiger Nehberg.

ALPENGLOW takes the reader through a journey of personal adventure, immersive art and breathtaking scenery, combining inspiration with detailed local knowledge. Climbing the 4000m peaks of the Alps is one of the great and enduring challenges in mountaineering. It is a project that requires endurance, courage, skill, and humility. Whether you are a lover of mountain landscapes, an aspiring alpinist, or already a veteran of many adventures, this book will provide a wealth of original and inspiring material to help with planning future excursions or simply immersing yourself in the beauty of the high mountain Drawings The photography in the book is matched by a series of finely wrought pencil drawings. Several of these are available as luxury prints to complement the book. Finsteraarhorn pencil drawing (12 x 8 cm) example The drawings for this project are usually smaller than a typical postcard. Each one is based on photographs and made with finely-sharpened pencils whilst looking through a magnifying glass. I usually start each layer of detail from one side and work steadily to the other to avoid smudging the fragile image with my hands. I rarely use an eraser as once the marks are made they are too small and fragile to modify. Each drawing takes between 2 and 10 weeks to complete. Climbs on all 82 of the 4000m summits of the Alps Unique PENCIL DRAWINGS ACTION PHOTOS of every route Exquisite LANDSCAPE IMAGES of each mountain The author has climbed each route TOPO DESCRIPTIONS and details of optimal climbing conditions 50 routes – 320 pages, 30×25 cm, 2.2kg 190 photos and 25 drawings
