156 pages B&W. While I enjoyed learning history, and appreciated authors' opinions of places, I always thought it would be nice to only have just what I needed to get to where I wanted to go so I could maximize my adventures. I also thought about having to decipher directions that had only one starting point.Therefore, using my years of hiking adventures and waterfall visits, I created an easy-to-use, no frills guide with scannable QR codes to get directions and navigation from Google Maps.I cut through the clutter to bring you a "no-frills", straight to the point guide that gives you only the information you need to get you there.This guide was created for those who are interested in the easier waterfall hikes, including roadside, and for those who would also like to explore other areas of the over six-million-acre Adirondack Park.This compilation of easy to moderate hikes, suitable for average hikers, that will lead to notable, as well as underappreciated, Adirondack waterfalls.

Ocean is an ambitious history of the pre-Columbian Atlantic Ocean, a story that begins with the formation of the mid-Atlantic ridge some 200 million years ago and ends with the Castilian conquest of the Canary Islands in the fifteenth century, which provided a template for the methods used by the Spanish in their colonisation of the New World.John Haywood argues that the perception that Atlantic history begins with the first voyage of the celebrated Genoese navigator is a mistaken one, and that the seafaring and shipbuilding skills that enabled European global exploration and expansion did not arrive fully formed in the fifteenth century, but were learned over centuries and millennia in the Atlantic and its marginal seas. The pre-Columbian history of the Atlantic is the story of how Europeans learned to master the oceans. It is, therefore, key to understanding why it was Europeans, and not any of the world's other seafaring peoples, who 'discovered' the world.Informed by the author's extensive travels in and around the Atlantic Ocean, crossing Newfoundland's Grand Banks, the Sea of Darkness and the weed-covered Sargasso Sea to make landfall at locations as diverse as Vinland, Greenland, the Faroes and the Cape Verde Islands, and populated by a heterogeneous and multi-ethnic cast of seafarers, fishermen, monks, merchants and dreamers, Ocean is an in-depth history of a neglected subject, fusing geology, geography, mythology, cosmology, developing maritime technologies and the early history of exploration to narrate an enthralling and intriguing story - one which lies at the very heart of Europe's modern history and its relationship with the rest of the world.

Join author and photographer, John Haywood, on a tour of easy-to-get-to waterfalls in the Greater Capital District and Hudson Valley. Here, you'll find a compilation of rewarding, shorter hikes and roadside waterfalls that are sure to become favorites. Notable destinations like Indian Brook Falls, Cohoes Falls, and the waterfalls at Christman Sanctuary, offer fun for the whole family!So, pack a cooler, grab the camera, and get ready to chase some waterfalls!

From Finland to Newfoundland and Jelling to Jerusalem, follow in the wake of the Vikings-a transformative story of a people that begins with paganism and ends in Christendom. In AD 800, the Scandinavians were just barbarians in longships. Though they held sway in the north, their power meant little more than the ability to pillage and plunder, which they did to bolster their status at home. But as these Norse warriors left their strongholds to trade, raid, and settle across wide areas of Europe, Asia, and the North Atlantic, their violent and predatory culture left a unique imprint on medieval history. The twist that no one predicted, however, was a much slower, insidious takeover than any the Vikings would execute, and by a turn of the tide, they themselves became its target. For as they made their mark on Europe, Europe made its mark on them. By the year 1200, what remained of the Vikings' pagan origins floated beneath the surface and the strong, strange territories of the north had become a part of Latin Christendom.Northmen is there to tell the tale, to pay homage to what was lost and celebrate what was won. Focusing on key events, including the sack of Lindisfarne in 793 and the Battle of Stamford Bridge in 1066, medieval history expert John Haywood recounts the saga of the Viking Age, from the creation of the world through to the dwindling years of halfhearted raids and elegiac storytelling in the thirteenth century. He does so with meticulous research, engaging narrative, and sensitivity for his subject, shedding light and blood along the way.
