A sweeping history of this natural wonder, from its geological beginnings to the present. "The noble cataract reflects the concerns, failings, and fancies of the times. If we gaze deeply into its shimmering image we can perhaps discern our own." - page 22 “[Pierre Berton] makes a serious and convincing case for Niagara's pivotal role in North American history. ... His Niagara is a lodestar for North American culture and invention: site of the first railway suspension bridge, inspiration for Nikola Tesla's discovery of the principle of alternating current, and the subject of Frederic Church's most celebrated landscape; a natural wonder that has bewitched generations of scientists, authors, and utopians, and stimulated innovations and social movements still casting long shadows. ... surprising, rich and engrossing.” -- Thurston Clarke, New York Times Book Review “Canadian historian Berton tells dozens of absorbing tales about the region and those who passed through it ... He tells them all superbly, aided by essential maps and a few reproductions of posters advertising some of the more bizarre stunts.” -- Publishers Weekly “Entertaining. . . . Berton brings to life the adventurers and dreamers, visionaries and industrialists, who over centuries have been drawn to the Falls.” -- Maclean’s "Berton at his storytelling best; there is something here for everyone. ... a vintage, full-bodied read." -- The London Free Press "A book worth diving into." -- Calgary Herald "By turns ironic, amused, shocked, horrified and awestruck, Berton traces Niagara's history through the deeds of those who came in contact with it ... all the while walking the fine line between detachment and emotion with agility and grace." -- The Whig-Standard (Kingston) Pierre Berton was one of Canada’s most popular and prolific authors, and is widely credited with popularizing Canadian history. His previous books include The Wild Frontier, Prisoners of the North, Klondike, The Invasion of Canada, and The Great Depression.

The full and definitive biography of Frederick Law Olmsted, influential abolitionist, ardent social reformer and conservationist, and the visionary designer of Central Park Frederick Law Olmsted is arguably the most important historical figure that the average American knows the least about. Best remembered for his landscape architecture, from New York's Central Park to Boston's Emerald Necklace to Stanford University's campus, Olmsted was also an influential journalist, early voice for the environment, and abolitionist credited with helping dissuade England from joining the South in the Civil War. This momentous career was shadowed by a tragic personal life, also fully portrayed here.Most of all, he was a social reformer. He didn't simply create places that were beautiful in the abstract. An awesome and timeless intent stands behind Olmsted's designs, allowing his work to survive to the present day. With our urgent need to revitalize cities and a widespread yearning for green space, his work is more relevant now than it was during his lifetime. Justin Martin restores Olmsted to his rightful place in the pantheon of great Americans.

No matter what the season, trees display their splendor. But one of the most striking winter sights for me are tree boughs laden with snow. It doesnt matter how large or small the limbs of a tree may be, snow will rest on its branches just the same. Snow blankets a trees nakedness with a covering so pure and white that it may be easy to forget how lush and colorful they are any other time of year. Despite the natural trials trees face each season, they continue to be a portrait of beauty. Creation in its most unadulterated form speaks of Gods character. Fields, clouds, trees, wildlifethey each reflect something of Him, not just once but across various contexts. Journey into the realms of nature and discover the character of God for yourself. Love, hope, peace, truth, wisdom, and many other fruits are waiting to be discovered within Echoes of Creation. Why wait any longer? Open, read, ponder, and discover the heart of God Himself revealed through nature as you navigate Echoes of Creation.

This book is a collection of written ballads as a small poetic tribute to the natural beauty that surrounds us. From the author's desk, "In 1969 three friends and I booked a big-game hunt with a guide and outfitter in Montana. This hunting area lay astraddle the Continental Divide in the Bob Marshal Wilderness. None of us had ever been that far West. From the outfitter's ranch, it was two days in on horseback. We rode through flower-covered meadows, riparian valleys with crystal clear streams, verdant timber, unbelievable rock formations, and towering canyon walls. I was instantly addicted to Mother Nature's artistry. Two years later, I packed up the family, left Ohio, and headed West."

Born in 1924, Laura May Harris uses her vivid memory and unique writing skills to create a series of rustic tales which not only illustrate family life at the beginning of the 20th century, during the Roaring Twenties and the Great Depression, but also illuminates the author's own personal journey from farm to forces to frontier. And anchoring those vignettes are various adventures unfolding during the same era, but well-beyond her own doorstep. Echo is a thoroughly enjoyable read. For today's youth, it allows them to walk a mile in the footsteps of their grandparents; for today's seniors resting up for the next lap of life's journey, it gives them license to smile.
