The Photographer's Guide to the Maine Coast: Where to Find Perfect Shots and How to Take Them

5 reviews

Countryman Press, 2004

You'll come home with prize winning photos!
David Middleton and Bruce Morrison have created a very insightful guide to coastal Maine photographic "hot spots". I am a professional photographer based in Maine, and while I am quite familiar with most of the places mentioned in this book I was pleasantly surprised to find out about others I had overlooked or was not aware of. (I also have a few secret spots of my own that did not crop up in ...

Great info, but not for kids
This book is an example of bad packaging that's the publisher's fault, not the author's. The colorful cover and title "Beachcomber's Guide" make you think it's for kids and casual beach-goers. It isn't. I found it great for helping me identify the little bioluminescent comb-jellies off our dock, and if you've ever puzzled about why the eastern Gulf is like the Atlantic and the western Gulf is so ...

Concord Cunningham Coast to Coast (Concord Cunningham Mysteries)

Concord is a super-sleuth
My son, who is 9, and I read one of these stories before bed each night. We have fun trying to figure out the answer before we even read the bible passage. Some are easy; some are harder. But my son loves it! And it is a great way to put Scripture reading into his everyday life. We plan to share these with his small group at church.

Don't forget this book on your US travels!
This book is jam-packed with activities and games to keep children occupied. The layout starts with the Pacific Coast and the Northern Rocky Mountains and travels through the Southwest, Central states, the South, the Middle Atlantic, and ends in the Northeast. The factoids of US states and their cities in this book allow everyone to have some fun. I used this in my classroom with ...

Houghton Mifflin, 1999

Good reference book
This is a pretty good book for identifying the different species of fish, and giving a very brief overview of each species mentioned. however, with 1100 species packed into one book, the descriptions are brief, and the advertised information like temperature and salinity are not listed for all of the species - in fact I would say water temperature and depth are not listed for most. 75% of the ...

The Photographer's Guide to the Oregon Coast: Where to Find Perfect Shots and How to Take Them

David Middleton, Rod Barbee

Countryman Press, 2004

Shortcut
This book was amazingly specific in directions of how to best view an incredible scenery. It was great more for its direction of where to go, park, or stand than the photography tips. The author gave great detail such as tips for how to find the best parking lots, how to avoid the tourist packed spots, and how to find unmarked trails to find fantastic angles in isolation. We used it as our ...

Bicycling Coast to Coast: A Complete Route Guide Virginia to Oregon

Donna Lynn Ikenberry

Mountaineers Books, 1996

A well organized and detailed guidebook.
Donna Ikenberry's "Bicycling Coast to Coast" is a well laid out, day-by-day guidebook for a bicycle trip across the country. From maps, to sights to see, to places to camp and eat, this book has everything you need to get across the country and not get lost. The only thing I wish this book included was trip preparation hints (of which it has very few). However, this book along with Steve ...

A Coast to Coast Walk
A great book for planning and walking across England. It has all the details necessary and is written in a humorous vein. The personal drawings and asides add to the light-hearted approach. Really necessary for the details of the walk.

Bicycling The Pacific Coast: A Complete Route Guide, Canada To Mexico

Mountaineers Books, 2005

Good basic guide, mainly for the maps
We just completed a coastal ride from San Francisco to Mexico. I bought this book prior to the trip hoping it would shed some light on what to expect, tips, training, etc. I was initially disappointed. But..as we started our trip we found the maps were very valuable (the rest of the book..so/so). The altitude scales were okay, but good enough to set some level of expectations. They didn't ...

Peter Meyer

Avian-Cetacean Press, 1991

Incredibly accurate with astonishing photos
For the past four years I have had a place at the beach. Dr. Meyer's book has become our bible. Using it, shells, shorebirds and seaside flora are easily identified by my family, friends and renters. Being an amateur photographer, I am in total awe of the skill of the other physician who took the pictures.

Probably More Than You Want to Know About the Fishes of the Pacific Coast

Milton Love

Really Big Press, 1996

Fish are Funny!
Without a doubt, the funniest taxonomic work on Ichthyology you will ever come across- and extremely and extensively informative to boot. Even the preface is a delight to read, where Love discusses the intelligence of fish (stupider than the stupidest mouse to ever live), if fish sleep, how their names relate to Communism, if they will harm us emotionally, and Love's relative intelligence when ...

Great Outdoors Pub Co, 2003

A good read
A fine guide with lots of good info. The only thing keeping it from a 5 star rating is that it could use some sketch charts showing where anchorages are instead of just a text description. All in all it is going to be very valuable in the next few months on my cruise.

Coast to Coast: A Journey Across 1950s America (Travelers' Tales Classics)

Jan Morris

Travelers' Tales, 2002

Envious Nostalgia
Written in what must be the heyday of the American Dream - before it became soured - this is Jan Morris's lighter travel through a different empire, inducing envy for not having experienced it ourselves and nostalgia for an America that has passed. The journey, undertaken when she was still James, is marvelously evocative and is as detailed as her other works. The travel narrative is as engaging ...
