100 Hut Walks In The Alps $19.95 This book describes just 100 hikes out of the many thousands possible in the Alps, with carefully chosen mountain huts providing the focus for each hike.With a geographical span in Europe that ranges from the Maritime Alps of southern France to the Julians of Slovenia, from Italy’’s Gran Paradiso to the little-known T rnitzer Alps of eastern Austria, and from the ice-bound giants of the Bernese Oberland to the green rolling Kitzb heler Alps and the bizarre towers of the Dolomites of South Tirol, each day-hike and its associated mountain hut has been especially selected to show the amazing diversity of this wonderful mountain chain.There are hikes to suit every taste: gentle and undemanding, long and tough, and everything in between. Most of the routes avoid climbing of a technical nature, beyond the odd scramble aided by a fixed rope. |

1230 Establishments: Prenzlauer Berg, Wienhausen Abbey, Pankow, Beauly Priory, Ardchattan Priory $14.13 Purchase includes free access to book updates online and a free trial membership in the publisher’s book club where you can select from more than a million books without charge. Excerpt: Prenzlauer Berg is a locality of Berlin, in the borough of Pankow. Until 2001, Prenzlauer Berg was a borough of Berlin; in that year it was included (together with the former borough Weißensee) in the borough of Pankow. After German reunification in 1990 Prenzlauer Berg became a centre for more bohemian Berlin youth, while more recently it has experienced gentrification. Prenzlauer Berg is a portion of the Pankow district in northeast Berlin. On the west and southwest it borders Mitte, on the south Friedrichshain-Kreuzberg, on the east Lichtenberg, and on the north Weißensee and Pankow. Geologically, the district lays entirely on the Barnim glacial deposit and borders from the southwest (to Mitte) on the Berlin glacier valley, which was formed in the Ice Age. The highest point of the district is 91 meters above sea level in the northwest of Volkspark Prenzlauer Berg. This mountain came into being after World War II as one of the debris piles after the gathering of rubble from the city center and the following rebuilding. In Prenzlauer Berg there are no more green areas except for a small lake in Volkspark Prenzlauer Berg and a public pool in Ernst-Thälmann-Park. Prenzlauer Berg is characterized by old buildings, the majority of which come from the beginning of the 20th century (1889 to 1905). Over 80% of all housing in this area sprung up before 1948, the oldest building still standing being from 1848 at 77 Kastanienallee. In the second World War, relatively few buildings were destroyed in comparison to other areas of the city. The area was neglected in the time of the German Democratic Republic and the last ruins were cleared away only at the beginning of the 1970s. After the fall of the Berlin Wall and subsequent German Reunification, the … More: |

A Celebration of Scotland $199 Scotland is a very bonnie country. There are any number of picture books, glossy calendars and guide books which tell us so. But, Scotland is much more than the tartandraped idyll that the tourist offices would have us believe, and it is the main aim of this book to describe the country as it is, in all its splendid variety. Every part of the country is visited, from the green wooded valleys of the Border country to the wild country of mountain and peat bog in villages along the Solway Firth to the quiet hamlets of Orkney and Shetland. |

A Fork on the Road: 400 Cities/One Stomach $11.99 A seasoned comedian’s love letter to America’s food curiosities—the regional cuisines, the culinary oddities, the weird and the wonderful “Mark DeCarlo is a [modern-day] Groucho Marx.” —PEOPLE Whether it be fish ice cream, kudzu tempura, or even sausage, Mark DeCarlo always wonders, “Who the hell thought to eat this stuff the first time?” We find out in this hilarious celebration of the genesis of America’s most creative and idiosyncratic food traditions, and the people who keep these food traditions alive.  Join the master comedian on his journey across the United States to visit these people and their foods in their natural habitats—places like the French Quarter of New Orleans, lush Maui resorts, and the Annual Road Kill Cook-off Festival in West Virginia. From the obvious and beloved (Buffalo wings, Boston clam chowder, hush puppies, and strawberry shortcake) to the bizarre and, well, beloved by some (Rocky Mountain oysters, fried rattlesnake, scrapple, and deep fried Twinkies), DeCarlo takes readers on a rollicking tour of the people and places behind America’s greatest food inventions.  Each chapter features the story behind a particular food (moosehead soup, anyone?) and the people who love it. Signature recipes, snapshot photos from the road, along with “Road Rules” on how to discover the real America all spice up the travelogue. It’s a love letter to America’s culinary curiosities, providing armchair travelers with a tour of the wackiest and kitschiest food festivals, delicacies, and people this country has to offer.    FROM THE AUTHOR’S FOREWORDConsider the oyster. Unopened, dirty, and habitually covered with muddy, green crap. If you didn’t know that it was hollow and contained a tasty glob of salty protein, would you |

A History of Green Ridge State Forest $9.99 Green Ridge State Forest is a haven of calm and natural beauty among the Appalachians of western Maryland. This land was once the frontier of the nation, and trailblazers such as Thomas Cresap and George Washington were among the first Europeans to discover its wonders: the swift Potomac, flowering dogwood and pine in the mountain reaches and the nighttime calls of the bobcat and the barred owl. The vision and stewardship of people like forester Fred W. Besley preserved the forest for future generations of hikers, explorers and families.

A Hot-Bed of Musicians: Traditional Music in the Upper New River Valley-Whitetop Region $14.67 In the Blue Ridge Mountains along the Virginia-North Carolina border, an extraordinarily rich musical heritage survives and flourishes. Even before the legendary Bill Monroe coined the term bluegrass in the mid-1950s, the traditional music of this area was coming into its own as a distinctive style. Early performers from the 1920s through the 1950s, many of whom migrated northward during the Great Depression, popularized the music they had grown up hearing, thereby preserving and celebrating the cultural legacy of their home region.In A Hot-Bed of Musicians, Paula Anderson-Green tells the stories of several of these legendary performers and instrument makers from the Upper New River Valley-Whitetop Mountain region, including Ola Belle Campbell Reed, Albert Hash, and Dave Sturgill. These men and women began to bring the music of Appalachia to a wider audience well before Nashville became the center of country music. Making extensive use of interviews, the book reveals the fascinating experiences and enduring values behind the practice of old-time music. This musical heritage remains an indispensable component of Appalachian culture, and Anderson-Green traces the traditions down to the present generation of musicians there.Written for anyone with an interest in mountain music, this book focuses on performers from Alleghany and Ashe Counties in North Carolina and Carroll County and Grayson County in Virginia. It includes a comprehensive appendix of place names and music venues as well as annotated lists of musicians and the songs they have performed. |

BEING An Account of the Maronite Nation inhabiting the Mountains of Libanus and other Parts of Syria. Extracted from their own Authors. LONDON: Printed in the Year M DCC XXXV. INTRODUCTION. Concerning the Peopling of the Mount tains Libanus and Anti Libanus; and building of the frjl City there by Cain. The prefent Inhabitants thereof, particularly the Maro- nites. HE Opinion of the learned Men of the Country, fupported by Tradition, and the Authority of fome Oriental Writers is, That Libanus was inhabited by our firft Parents; and that the firft City in the World, fpoken of in Scripture, and by Jofephus , was built in thole Mountains by Cain. G A They ap’3” They are confirmed in this Sentiment by a Belief which runs thro’ the whole Country, that the Murder of Abel was committed at the Foot of Anti Liba- nus (), on that Side of the Mountain which faces Damafcus. They ftill mew the Place, diftinguifhed by Pillars, three or four Leagues from the City, near the Road to Balbe. From hence, they fay, Cain, difturbed by the Horor of his Crime, fled and retired towards the Eaft Side of Eden’, as it is related in Scripture. Now this Eaftern Country, according to them, is no other than Libanus, whither they pretend Cain fettled, and afterwards built the City we are fpeaking of. There is alfo a great Burrough, or little Town, on Mount Libanus, called Ban , which they fuppofe to have been built on the Ruins or that firft City. There are to be feen about it many Ruins of ancient Buildings; called, at prefent, in the Country, Medinat al Ras, which in Arabic, fignifies the Capital, or firft City.

A Land Imperiled $26.95 Cherokees called the magnificent mountain range in eastern Tennessee land of the blue mist, which European settlers later changed to Smoky Mountains. Today, the Great Smoky Mountains National Park is one of Southern Appalachia’s leading tourist attractions. But that fabled blue mist isn’t so blue–or healthy–any longer. Particularly in the summer months, the smoke of the Smokies is a haze of sulfate particles and other toxins released by coal-burning power plants, a mixture more likely to create dangerous ozone levels for visiting tourists than the invigorating mountain air so many come to seek. It is a story common throughout Southern Appalachia, one of America’s most beautiful, biologically diverse, and fragile bioregions. A Land Imperiled is a symptom-by-symptom look at the myriad of ecological issues threatening the health of the southern high country. Sections on air, water, plants and animals, food, energy, waste, transportation, and population and urbanization make this the most comprehensive environmental study of Southern Appalachia to date–a much-needed wake-up call for anyone concerned about the region’s natural legacy. But it is not just the future we have to worry about, the author asserts; pollution, development, and other forms of degradation are already affecting our quality of life. The excessively high ozone levels plaguing the Smokies have been connected to a host of respiratory problems, including chronic bronchitis and asthma. Once-crystal mountain streams are green and sluggish with runoff from agricultural wastes and fertilizers, and carcinogenic PCBs from local factories increase the threat to humans and wildlife. Industrial forestry has cleared overhalf of the South’s natural forests, and a mere 2 percent of the remaining forests have protected status. The environment of Southern Appalachia is a collection of complex, interrelated systems that needs nourishment and protection to function in full health. A Land Imperiled not only il |

In the house back of the store were heard the sound of voices and some boys laughing, the clatter of dishes, and clink of the poker and metal lids of the stove. Someone chased a dog out of the house, throwing a broom after him to hasten his movements, and adding a shrill accusation concerning his weakness for stealing from an oven. His dogship looked back furtively, but was too wise to return, and made his way in stately unconcern into the back door of the store-room, knowing well that under one corner of the counter was a nook from which no one dared turn him. But passing the open front door he paused, turned his soft steps over the threshold to a figure that sat on the steps with bowed head leaning on its open hands, and then the fear of broomsticks seemed driven out by some sympathy, and he crept closely and softly under the arms of the man Bud, and looked up into his face with eyes tender as the afterglow tinging the clouds; for the sun had gone down beyond the mountain.

A Primer Of Political Economy $22.87 Purchase of this book includes free trial access to www.million-books.com where you can read more than a million books for free.This is an OCR edition with typos.Excerpt from book:CHAPTER III IN THE HEART OF A MOUNTAIN An adventurous climber on a lofty peak in the Selkirks hears, when pausing to rest, a rapid, jarring pulsation in the heart of the mountain, like the ticking of a giant watch. The snow lying everywhere about is soft with the slow warmth of early summer, but it does not seem to melt or grow less. Down in the valleys the rocks are bare, and the few patches of soil watered by the mountain streams are green. The pulsations continue and invite an investigation. Away down the side toward the valley is a heap of broken rock, looking in the deep distance like a new excrescence on the ancient face of the mountain. On a nearer approach it is seen to be a large irregular pile of broken stones scattered loosely down the slope. It is like a door-sill to a cavernous hole in the rock, from which a hand-car is pushed by a man in overalls and smock. The contents of the car are dumped over the face of this pile, to which it makes an imperceptible addition. Let us light our wax candles and follow the miner who has pushed his empty handcar back into the tunnel. We must stoop under the low roof, from which the water is constantly dripping, and follow the narrow rails as they curve along the damp tunnel. At one point a candle is burning in a steel ring, hooked on a small ledge of rock. Just under it is a black hole, and the light warns us of an open winze, one hundred feet deep, to a lower level of this extensive mine. Every sound seems to have many echoes coming from the solid rock overhead and all about. The light of another candle showstwo men drilling into the rock. One is holding and turning a drill, while the other strikes it with a sledge hammer, and we wonder at the long swinging blows he can strike, in a place where there is scarcely room to |

A World Of Green Hills $18.09 Purchase of this book includes free trial access to www.million-books.com where you can read more than a million books for free.This is an OCR edition with typos.Excerpt from book:A MOUNTAIN POND Stewart’s Pond, on the Hamburg road a mile or so from the village of Highlands, served me, a visiting bird-gazer, more than one good turn: selfishly considered, it was something to be thankful for; but I never passed it, for all that, without feeling that it was a defacement of the landscape. The Cullasajah River is here only four or five miles from its source, near the summit of Whiteside Mountain; and already a landowner, taking advantage of a level space and what passes among men as a legal title, has dammed it (the reader .may spell the word as he chooses — ” dammed ” or ” damned,” it is all one to a mountain stream) for uses of his own. The water backs up between a wooded hill on one side and a rounded grassy knoll on the other, narrows where the road crosses it by a rude bridge, and immediately broadens again, as best it can, against the base of a steeper,forest-covered hill just beyond. The shape- lessness of the pond and its romantic surroundings will in the course of years give it beauty, but for the present everything is unpleasantly new. The tall old trees and the ancient rhododendron bushes, which have been drowned by the brook they meant only to drink from, are too recently dead. Nature must have time to trim the ragged edges of man’s work and fit it into her own plan. And she will do it, though it may take her longer than to absorb the man himself. When I came in sight of the pond for the first time, in the midst of my second day’s explorations, my firstthought, it must be confessed, was not of its beauty or want of beauty, but of sandpipers, and in a minute more I was leaning over the fence to sweep the water-line with my opera-glass.

The Cullasajah River is here only four or five miles from its source, near the summit of Whiteside Mountain; and already a landowner, taking advantage of a level space and what passes among men as a legal title, has dammed it (the reader .may spell the word as he chooses — ” dammed ” or ” damned,” it is all one to a mountain stream) for uses of his own. The water backs up between a wooded hill on one side and a rounded grassy knoll on the other, narrows where the road crosses it by a rude bridge, and immediately broadens again, as best it can, against the base of a steeper,forest-covered hill just beyond. The shape- lessness of the pond and its romantic surroundings will in the course of years give it beauty, but for the present everything is unpleasantly new. The tall old trees and the ancient rhododendron bushes, which have been drowned by the brook they meant only to drink from, are too recently dead. Nature must have time to trim the ragged edges of man’s work and fit it into her own plan. And she will do it, though it may take her longer than to absorb the man himself. When I came in sight of the pond for the first time, in the midst of my second day’s explorations, my firstthought, it must be confessed, was not of its beauty or want of beauty, but of sandpipers, and in a minute more I was leaning over the fence to sweep the water-line with my opera-glass. Yes, there they were, five or six in number, one here, another there; solitary sandpipers, so called |

Aaron And The Green Mountain Boys $108.1 It was the summer of 1777, and the small town of Bennington, Vermont, was roused in the middle of the night. The British redcoats had just captured Fort Ticonderoga. Now they were on their way to take the supplies stored near Bennington! Nine-year-old Aaron Robinson could not contain his excitement. He pictured himself bravely running through the lines with messages for the generals, or heroically guarding his grandfather’s tavern, or even taking part in a battle with the Green Mountain Boys. But whenever he eagerly offered his services, he was told to help his grandfather bake bread for the soldiers instead–pretty tame work for a boy who could shoot a blackbird at one hundred paces. Patricia Lee Gauch tells this Revolutionary War tale based on a true story with simplicity and humor, and illustrations by Margot Tomes bring the period and characters to life for young history fans. |

Airpower And The Airlift Evacuation Of Kham Duc $66.3 This slender volume has value for both the general reader and the aviation specialist. For the latter there are lessons regarding command and control and combined-unit operations that need to be learned to achieve battlefield success. For the former there is a straightforward narrative about American aviators of all four services struggling in the most difficult of conditions to try to rescue more than 1,500 American and Vietnamese military and civilians. Not all the Americans moving through the events recounted in this monograph acted heroically, but most did, and it was their heroism that gave the evacuation the success it had. Airpower and the Airlift Evacuation of Kham Duc is fully documented so that readers wishing to look deeper into this incident may do so. Those who study the battle will see that it was something of a microcosm of the entire Vietnam War in the relationship of airpower to tactical ground efforts. Kham Duc sat at the bottom of a small green mountain bowl, and during most of 12 May 1968 the sky was full of helicopters, forward air controller aircraft, transports, and fighters, all striving to succeed and to avoid running into each other in what were most trying circumstances. In the end they carried the day, though by the narrowest of margins and with heavy losses.Raymond B. FurlongLieutenant General, USAFCommander, Air University |

History In its early history, the territory commonly referred to as the “Alexander Valley” denoted the benchlands east of the Russian River leading up to the Mayacamas Mountains . The area west of the Russian River was known as the “the plaines” or “the ranchos.” Viticulture in the area dates back to 1843, when Cyrus Alexander used |

Chapters: Gardens of Lucullus, Gardens of Sallust, Gardens of Maecenas, Temple of Minerva Medica, Horti Lamiani, Horti Liciniani, Horti Tauriani. Not illustrated. Excerpt: The Gardens of Lucullus (Horti Lucullani) were an ancient patrician villa on the Pincian Hill on the edge of Rome; they were laid out by Lucius Licinius Lucullus about 60 BCE. The Villa Borghese gardens still cover 17 acres (69,000 m²) of green on the site, now in the heart of Rome, above the Spanish Steps. The fabled gardens of Lucullus were among the most influential examples in the history of gardening. Lucullus had firsthand experience of the Persian gardening style, in the satraps’ gardens of Anatolia (‘Asia’ to the Romans) and in Mesopotamia and Persia itself. As Plutarch pointed out, “Lucullus the first Roman who carried an army over Taurus, passed the Tigris, took and burnt the royal palaces of Asia in the sight of the kings, Tigranocerta, Cabira, Sinope, and Nisibis, seizing and overwhelming the northern parts as far as the Phasis, the east as far as Media, and making the South and Red Sea his own through the kings of the Arabians.” Lucullus’ rural villas in the hills at Tusculum, near modern Frascati, and at Naples were also set in lavish garden settings. Plutarch, ‘Lucullus’ ch. 37 mentions “the chambers and galleries, with their sea-views, built at Naples by Lucullus, out of the spoils of the barbarians.”, and Pliny writes of Lucullus cutting a channel through a mountain on his Naples estate to allow seawater to circulate in his fishpond, which recalled the channel that had been cut through the isthmus at Mount Athos by the Persian king. Lucullus received derision for Persian innovations. Pompey and Tubero mockingly nicknamed him “Xerxes togatus” (Xerxes in a toga, ie a … More: |

Angling In The Kumaun Lakes $17.96 Purchase of this book includes free trial access to www.million-books.com where you can read more than a million books for free.This is an OCR edition with typos.Excerpt from book:4o CHAPTER III. Bhim-tal. Having spent a week on the Naini lake, and drank your fill of the beauties of rock and water and shaggy wood, you will make an early start some morning for Bhim-tal. If I am to accompany you, your start must be an early one. Let the gongs in the lower Bazaar strike six on your ear, as you pass out of the shady valley, and are suddenly bathed in the flood of sunlight breaking over the Nepal hills. There is no more lovely ride in the Kumaun hills than the sinuous path which you will follow round the slopes of Sher-ka- Danda and Lyriakanta, now dipping into a deep gully with its brawling torrent, now lingering in the shade of the oaks and rhododendra, and anon basking in the glorious sunlight as the road glides over the steep grassy slopes of the Eastern spurs of Lyriakanta—all the while you may feast on a glorious view of the Sub-Himalayan Forest and Terai stretched at your feet—wide patches of lovely green fields encroaching on the primaeval forest, a monument to the wisdom and energy of the best man that ever swayed the sceptre in Kumaun. Arrived at the sloping shoulder of the mountain, the road turns downwards to the Bhowali stream, passing Bhowali House about the fifth mile. For about a quarter of a mile after passing the water mill and bnnia’s shop the path keeps the right bank of the little stream, and as you watch the water curling under the banks, brawling over the shallows and eddying round the rocks, your heart will jump to its music, for it recalls the days long fled, when you followed the windings of the burn down the heath covered hill, and through the sweet smelling birch woods—and filled your basket with the speckled trout. The burn is there and the overshadowing trees, and the sweet glints of sunshine sparkling on the |

Anna Louise Batcheller, 1870-1902 $11.65 Purchase of this book includes free trial access to www.million-books.com where you can read more than a million books for free.This is an OCR edition with typos.Excerpt from book:cause of the loving admiration she received from her classes, whatever their composition. In all church work she took an active and important part, especially in the Christian Endeavor Society and in the various lines of missionary interest. None knew better than she the contents of the town library, or watched with more eager eye for desirable additions to its list of books. In the literary clubs she willingly took her part, glad of them as a stimulus to herself as to all the members, and as a guide to reading in history and literature. Together with opportunities for study, her life was enriched by travel in her own and foreign countries. In the summer of 1899 she spent three months travelling in Europe with the rest of the family. Her love for her own Green Mountains gave her especial enjoyment in mountain scenery wherever she found it, whether in the Alps, the Adirondacks, or the White Mountains. In the home, where her touch was on everything, her own two specialties were her garden and her piano. Almost in midwinter she began chapter{Section 4to watch for her crocuses and snow-drops, and from their coming there was always something to enjoy. Tulips and roses were her especial care. She ” loved flowers and little children.” From a child she was fond of music, and gave much time to faithful practising. More and more it became to her a solace and delight, and the hours she spent at the piano were among the happiest of her life. She gained much pleasure and profit from her membership in the Philharmonic Society of Rutland. She lived a quiet life, but a full one, mourned by many when she was called early to rest, May 2, 1902, after only three days of illness. In preparing a little printed memorial of Anna for her family and intimate friends it has seemed as if th… |

Around Pittsford $21.99 Winding north through Pittsford, Otter Creek has powered the lumber, grain, and marble mills essential to this region since 1770. Chittenden lies east of Pittsford, on the west flank of the Green Mountains, where iron and manganese deposits supplied Pittsford’’s iron industry. To the south, Pittsford and Proctor share deep marble formations that support the economies of both towns. The first settlers were farmers drawn to the valley’’s fertile soil and mountain forests. They were joined by lumber barons, lawyers, merchants, and artists. European and French Canadian immigrants soon followed and farmed, built the railroad, or quarried and carved marble. Closely linked by the industries that helped build them, these communities have evolved into today’’s thriving hometowns of workers in Rutland. |

BIVOUAC IN THE KAIN BBAXTON HOUSE. Befoee sunrise, that dav, every fire by which the ti – v J boys in Company H had gone to sleep was not only dead out, but even the little heaps of cinders and ashes were beaten down level by the pelting rain, which came suddenly and fell pitilessly; for far to the east of the mountain there had been firing all day long the day before, and the rarefaction of the atmosphere so produced had stirred a movement in this direction of all the vagabond vapors, and some from the east, sailing low, had caught on the ridge above the heads of our friends, and come down on the western slope like a little deluge. How it does rain when there is war! One never knows how much it rains until he has put on a uniform and given up the customary shelter of houses, omnibuses, cabs and umbrellas, and the habit of sleeping in bed, and taken to the woods, the roads and the ditches, and the occasional lee side of a haystack, or an outhouse, with a sheet of India-rubber as his only shelter. Then, indeed, he discovers that it rains always more or less, and that the world is full of the noise of the pattering drops as they beat on every surface presented, fromthe great canopies of green leaves to the glistening India-rubber cloak of the tall sentry down the road. Blessed be the memory of the fellow who first subdued to human uses that noble gum which we call India rubber! How they got on with their wars in the ages before this substance was spread into blankets, ponchoes, cloaks, and overcoats is a mystery. Perhaps they had their primitive contrivances,—sheepskins with the wool on, and kindred rain-defying raiment,—but all these must have been to the India-rubber coat much as the bow and arrow to a rifle; and wars must often have petered out |

And she thought of the little naked birds in the deserted nest; of her poor little neglected brothers; of Anania’s treasure; of midsummer night; and of her dead mother. She was afraid—she was sad, so sad that though she believed herself doomed to hell, she longed to die. Ol!’s son was born at Fonni in the springtime. He was called Anania by the advice of his godmother, the bandit’s widow. He passed his infancy at Fonni, and in his imagination never forgot that strange village perched on the mountain crest, like a slumbering vulture. During the long winter, Fonni was all snow and fog ; but with the spring grass invaded even the steep village street, where beetles slept among the big, sun-warmed cobblestones, and ants ran confidingly in and out of their holes. The meagre brown houses with their roofs of scandtde (wooden tiles overlapping each other like fish- scales), showed on the street side narrow black doorways, balconies of rotten wood, little stairs often vine-garlanded. The Basilica of the Martyrs, with its picturesque belfry, rose among the green oaks of the old Convent court, dominating the whole little town and carved against a sky of crystalline blue. Fabulous beauty reigned on all sides. The tall mountains of the Gennargentu, their luminous summits outlined as it were with silver,crowned the great Barbagia valley, which in a succession of immense green shells rose to the hill-topS; among these Fonni with its scaled roofs and stony streets, defied the thunder and the winds. The district was in winter almost deserted, for its numerous population of wandering shepherds (men strong as the blast, and astute as foxes) descended with their flocks to the warm |

At Home in the Heart of Appalachia $0.99 John O’Brien’s deeply evocative book re- veals a place and a way of life—and the lives of an estranged father and son whose differences rest, ironically, in their own powerful bonds to Appalachia.John O’Brien was born in Philadelphia, his father having left his beloved home in the West Virginia mountains after an impoverished childhood made all the more painful by family tragedy. Struggling to escape a father defeated by disappointment, displacement, and poverty, John too left home. When John decided to settle near his father’s birthplace in West Virginia, he hoped to comprehend the elder O’Brien’s attachment to the land, as well as the disabling fatalism he had carried north.What he discovered is hardly the mythic Appalachia most Americans imagine, but a world of extravagant beauty—lush with green mountains, deep forests, ice-cold trout streams, and small hill farms. The people we meet who inhabit this land are for the most part unpretentious, working class, straightforward, open, commonsensical, and easygoing. They tend to look back more than most Americans do, defining themselves by how they fit into an extended family that includes their ancestors. We are in a mountain culture that feels old and deeply rooted, that follows a traditional way of life. It is a world the author would finally love and call his own.We also come face-to-face with provincialism, intolerance, and—perhaps Appalachia’s defining legacy—the horrors of the coalfields and chemical plants. We see clearly what rapacious greed and exploitation have done for generations to much of the landscape and to the lives of thepeople. And we learn of the stream of reformers and missionaries, ever ready to show Appalachia the way, whose real contributions tend to be negligible or absurd.In this clear-eyed, beautifully rendered telling of his story and his father’s, John O’Brien gives us, as |
