  A Road Running Southward -...

  In 1867, John Muir set out on foot to explore the botanical wonders of the South, keeping a detailed journal of his adventures as he traipsed from Kentucky southward to Florida. One hundred and fifty years later, on a similar whim, veteran Atlanta reporter Dan Chapman recreated Muir's journey to see for himself how nature has fared since Muir's time. Channeling Muir, he uses humor, keen observation, and a deep love of place to celebrate the South's natural riches. 
   
   
   
  Each chapter touches upon a local ecological problem—moving between John Muir's vivid descriptions of a lush botanical paradise and the myriad environmental problems facing the South today. Along the way he talks to locals with deep ties to the land—scientists, hunters, politicians, and even a Muir impersonator—who describe the changes they've witnessed and what it will take to accommodate a fast-growing population without destroying the natural beauty and a cherished connection to nature. 
   
   
   
  A Road Running Southward is part travelogue, part environmental cri de coeur, and paints a picture of a South under siege. It is a passionate appeal, a call to action to save one of the loveliest and most biodiverse regions of the world by understanding what we have to lose if we do nothing.

  “Banks turns trivial questions into mind-expanding demonstrations of the magical powers of mathematics. . . . generously garnished with his unpredictable wit.” —Booklist 
   
  Have you ever daydreamed about digging a hole to the other side of the world? Robert Banks not only entertains such ideas but supplies the mathematical know-how to turn fantasies into problem-solving adventures. Now the author of Towing Icebergs, Falling Dominoes, and Further Adventures in Applied Mathematics presents another collection of puzzles to sharpen your thinking and mathematical skills. 
   
  The problems range from the wondrous to the eminently practical: What’s the total number of people who’ve lived on Earth? How do you get the most pizza slices with the least number of cuts? To go from point A to point B in a downpour, should you walk slowly, jog moderately, or run as fast as possible to get least wet? What is the length of the seam on a baseball? If all the ice in the world melted, what would happen to Florida, the Mississippi River, and Niagara Falls? Why do snowflakes have six sides? 
   
  Covering a broad range of fields from geography and environmental studies to map- and flag-making, Banks uses mostly basic algebra and geometry to solve problems. And if famous scientists have also pondered these questions, he shares the historical details with the reader. 
   
  “[Banks displays] a playful imagination and love of the fantastic that one would not ordinarily associate with a mathematical engineer. . . . entertaining.” —The Christian Science Monitor
