A
Walk in the Woods : Rediscovering America on the Appalachian Trail
by Bill Bryson
Bill Bryson has made a living out of traveling and then writing about
it. In The Lost Continent he re-created the road trips of his childhood;
in Neither Here nor There he retraced the route he followed as a young
backpacker traversing Europe. When this American transplant to Britain
decided to return home, he made a farewell walking tour of the British
countryside and produced Notes from a Small Island. Once back on American
soil and safely settled in New Hampshire, Bryson once again hears the siren
call of the open road--only this time it's a trail. The Appalachian Trail,
to be exact. In A Walk in the Woods Bill Bryson tackles what is, for him,
an entirely new subject: the American wilderness. Accompanied only by his
old college buddy Stephen Katz, Bryson starts out one March morning in
north Georgia, intending to walk the entire 2,100 miles to trail's end
atop Maine's Mount Katahdin.
If nothing else, A Walk in the Woods is proof positive that the
journey is the destination. As Bryson and Katz haul their out-of-shape,
middle-aged butts over hill and dale, the reader is treated to both a very
funny personal memoir and a delightful chronicle of the trail, the people
who created it, and the places it passes through. Whether you plan to make
a trip like this one yourself one day or only care to read about it, A
Walk in the Woods is a great way to spend an afternoon. --Alix Wilber

The
Face of Appalachia: Portraits from the Mountain Farm
by Tim Barnwell, George Tice, Sam Gray
Book Description:
A world we have lost, in beautiful photographs and moving words.
Life in the steep hills of Appalachia has changed more in the last
twenty years than in the previous two hundred. Long a region of farmers,
burley tobacco, cattle, copious gardens, durable traditions, and hard-working
families, it has become a region of retirees, developers, young urban escapees,
and new highways. Aware of the transformation, Tim Barnwell set out to
document the lives of the people in the land he grew up in. His sensitive
portraits, landscapes, and farm scenes, and his penetrating oral histories
give us an entrée into a life characterized by straightforward
joys, hardships, isolation, and independence. It is a way of life we will
not see again. 100 duotone photographs.
