    Yosemite changes the scale at which you think.Its granite walls, meadows, waterfalls, giant sequoias, and high-country light are among America's most recognizable landscapes, yet familiarity can make the park surprisingly easy to misread. William Stanek's Yosemite was written to recover the deeper place beneath the iconic views.From Yosemite Valley and Glacier Point to Mariposa Grove, Tioga Road, Tuolumne Meadows, Hetch Hetchy, and the quieter thresholds between them, the guide explains how Yosemite actually works. It asks not only where to go, but how water changes the park by season, how granite governs movement, how a trail changes the body, and how one ambitious day can crowd out everything the traveler came to feel.Literary, practical, and field-useful, this is Yosemite for readers who want more than information.It is a guide to choosing well, seeing deeply, and allowing one of America's great landscapes to remain larger than the itinerary.

    For fans of Chanel Cleeton’s Next Year in Havana, a real-life story of how a young woman’s five-day trip to Cuba, her mother’s birthplace, completely changed her view of herself as a second-generation American. 
     
    When Barbara Caver was growing up in South Carolina, her Cuban roots were as mysterious as the embargoed island her mother had been born on but left in 1959. For Barbara, Cuba represented a heritage that she’d never understood and couldn’t fully embrace. When she moved from South Carolina to New York, the vibrant diversity of the city and new friendships with other Cuban Americans made her curious about her mother’s home country. Finally, in 2017, she traveled to Cuba. 
     
    Immediately upon arriving in Havana, Barbara was struck by a sense of the familiar: tiles on a backsplash looked like tiles in her grandparents’ home, the airport smelled like a childhood memory, local dishes tasted like her grandmother’s cooking, and a morning stroll through Vedado delivered her to the front gate of her great-grandmother’s home—despite the fact that she didn’t have the address. She wasn’t just visiting a foreign country; she was being welcomed home. 
     
    Part travel adventure, part ghost story, and part memoir, A Little Piece of Cuba: A Journey To Become Cubana-Americanais an imaginative and humorous personal journey through Barbara’s memories and experiences as she discovers that she is and has always been more Cuban than she thought.
