The Adirondack State Park is larger than Yellowstone, Yosemite, the Grand Canyon, and Glacier National Parks combined. The park's 6 million acres offer plenty of diverse and scenic terrain for bicycling. In addition to tours in the famed and rugged High Peaks region, where New York State's tallest mountains predominate, the authors lead you to routes along the gentler roads of the park. They meander around scenic lakes and through pine forests, pointing out a variety of wild and unspoiled vistas along the way. Many rides also lead to hiking trails, swimming holes, and fishing spots along seclu...

"Read it, please. Straight through to the end. Whatever else you were planning to do next, nothing could be more important." Barbara Kingsolver

Twenty years ago, with "The End of Nature," Bill McKibben offered one of the earliest warnings about global warming. Those warnings went mostly unheeded; now, he insists, we need to acknowledge that we've waited too long, and that massive change is not only unavoidable but already under way. Our old familiar globe is suddenly melting, drying, acidifying, flooding, and burning in ways that no human has ever seen. We've created, in very short order,...
