Sinopse

"Rivers of America" explores the profound impact of the nation's waterways on its history, geography, and environmental landscape. It reveals how rivers like the Mississippi, Missouri, Colorado, and Columbia shaped settlement patterns, facilitated trade, and influenced economic development. For example, the Mississippi River served not only as a crucial transportation route for goods and people, but also as a defining factor in the expansion and growth of the United States. The book uniquely connects natural history with human history, illustrating how these river systems molded cultural identities and economic opportunities.

 
The book progresses by first establishing the geological and ecological context of rivers, then examining their historical roles in regional development through case studies. Finally, it addresses contemporary issues in river management and conservation. This approach provides a holistic understanding of the complex relationship between rivers and American society. It underscores the pivotal role of rivers, offering a fresh perspective on America's past and a vital guide for its future by examining environmental history, water management, and the enduring significance of these vital waterways.

The View from the Shoulder - A...

Roger Cox

The story of surfing in Scotland is defined by people who dared to dream in spite of the cold, from Neva MacDonald-Haig and the coffin-lid surfers of Machrihanish, who first took to the waves off the west coast in the 1930s with a little help from a local undertaker, to Andy Bennetts and the pioneers of the 1960s, who discovered many of the nation's best breaks, to contemporary big wave surfer Ben Larg, a native of the tiny island of Tiree who now travels the world riding skyscraper-sized walls of water for a living.
Scotland is also home to a rich and distinctive surfing culture, with its own surfboard shapers, surf instructors, surf filmmakers, surf photographers and surf fashion brands, not to mention surf-inspired artists and musicians. Professional contests held at some of Scotland's best waves have drawn visits from surfing world champions including Tom Curren, Sunny Garcia and John John Florence, and in recent years Scotland's own surfers have begun to make their presence felt on the competitive stage, with the Scottish surf team featuring at the World Surfing Games and at Eurosurf after finally gaining official recognition in 2014.
The View From the Shoulder draws together 20 years of surf journalism from the pages of The Scotsman newspaper, together with fresh context, to create a portrait of a wave-riding community like no other.
