  David B. Williams

  Not far from Seattle skyscrapers live 150-year-old clams, more than 250 species of fish, and underwater kelp forests as complex as any terrestrial ecosystem. For millennia, vibrant Coast Salish communities have lived beside these waters dense with nutrient-rich foods, with cultures intertwined through exchanges across the waterways. Transformed by settlement and resource extraction, Puget Sound and its future health now depend on a better understanding of the region's ecological complexities. 
   
   
   
  Focusing on the area south of Port Townsend and between the Cascade and Olympic mountains, Williams uncovers human and natural histories in, on, and around the Sound. In conversations with archaeologists, biologists, and tribal authorities, Williams traces how generations of humans have interacted with such species as geoducks, salmon, orcas, rockfish, and herring. He sheds light on how warfare shaped development and how people have moved across this maritime highway, in canoes, the mosquito fleet, and today's ferry system. The book also takes an unflinching look at how the Sound's ecosystems have suffered from human behavior, including pollution, habitat destruction, and the effects of climate change.

  One seed, when nurtured, can grow and multiply to yield a garden that feeds a family for a lifetime. One penny, when saved and invested, can grow wealth that allows a family to live comfortably. It takes time, patience, and knowledge to grow a garden. It also takes time, patience, and knowledge to achieve financial well-being. 
  In her personal finance memoir, Growing Wealth, Julie Rains proposes three essentials for achieving financial freedom, just as she learned there are three essentials for growing a garden. She guides readers through those key essentials by sharing her initial failures and eventual successes in gardening and money management, using creatively crafted metaphors to engage her audience.  
  She takes her readers on a journey, bridging the gap between a scrawny bank account to a healthy brokerage account, all while revealing how to transform a patch of dirt into a batch of homegrown tomatoes. Overcoming her weaknesses in hands-on skills and drawing on her strengths in dealing with money matters, Rains shows how she learned to garden. While tending her garden and harvesting produce, she unearths truths about growing wealth.  
  There is more than one way to learn--just as there is more than one way to grow your garden and achieve financial freedom. Using Rains' emphasis on applying your strengths to mastering the essentials, your wealth and garden can thrive.

  In 1773, Boswell enticed his famous English friend Samuel Johnson to accompany him on a tour through the highlands and western islands of Scotland. Johnson was then in his mid sixties.
  
  The two travellers set out from Edinburgh and skirted the eastern and northeastern coasts of Scotland, passing through St Andrews, Aberdeen and Inverness. They then passed into the highlands and spent several weeks on various islands in the Hebrides, including Skye, Coll, and Mull. After a visit to Boswell's estate at Auchinleck, the travellers returned to Edinburgh. Also available in audio, Johnson published his Journey to the Western Islands of Scotland on 18 January 1775.

  "In 1955, a young TV producer named David Attenborough was approached by six recent graduates from Oxford and Cambridge universities determined to drive the entire length of Eurasia, as it was then known, from London to Singapore. Many tried this before, but none succeeded. Sensing this time might be different, Attenborough gave The Oxford and Cambridge Far Eastern Expedition enough film reels to cover their attempt. The 19,000-mile journey completed by Tim Slessor and the team was told in Attenborough's Travellers' Tales and captivated a nation emerging from postwar austerity. Tim's book, The First Overland, was published shortly after and soon became the Bible of the overlanding religion. Inspired by Attenborough's comment fifty years on that it was a journey ""that I don't think could be made again today,"" Alex made contact with now eighty-six-year-old Tim, and together they planned an epic recreation of the original trip, this time from Singapore to London. With their improbable team and the prospect of getting the original Oxford, their goal was to complete the heroic journey that started more than sixty years earlier. In awe of the unstoppable Tim, and haunted by his own grandfather's deterioration due to tragedy and then dementia, Alex soon finds himself on the defining trip of his life and discovers how the world has changed for better, and for worse, since the First Overland..."
