With its promise of escape from the strains of everyday life, the beach has a hold on the popular imagination as the ultimate paradise. In The Last Resort, Sarah Stodola dives into the psyche of the beachgoer and gets to the heart of what drives humans to seek out the sand. At the same time, she grapples with the darker realities of resort culture: strangleholds on local economies, reckless construction, erosion of beaches, weighty carbon footprints, and the inevitable overdevelopment and decline that comes with a soaring demand for popular shorelines.

A broken engagement and a broken heart had left him longing for a change of scenery, but the plan he'd cooked up in response had gone a bit overboard in that department: Over the course of a single year, Knighton would visit every national park in the country, from Acadia to Zion.

Have you ever wanted to quit your job, jump in the car with the person you love the most, and see what's around the next bend in the road? I did just that. My wife and I were crazy enough to quit good jobs, pack our suitcases, and head for the open road. We took two months and drove through 30 states, visited more than a dozen national parks, and put 13,000 miles of twisting country roads under our wheels. We found once again that the journey is greater than the destination. There's room in the backseat. We'd love for you to come along with us on our lap around America.

Resumen del Editor
Do you want to find amazing and unique experiences around the world? Strolling with Your Elephant: Perfect Moments in Travel tells travelers of all ages and abilities how to find and enjoy them. Drawing on 23 years as president of D. Tours Travel, a boutique luxury travel agency, Diana Hechler outlines almost 80 experiences that are fun, unusual, and thrilling, and that many people do not know are available for everyone.
Perfect moments range from waltzing at the Hofburg Palace in Vienna to standing in the sky atop the Sydney Harbour Bridge. Petting a sleeping rhino in South Africa? Renting a Lockmaster’s cottage along the C&O canal just a few miles from Georgetown in Washington DC? The sky’s the limit. With almost 80 authentic experiences in numerous countries to choose from, all travelers can take advantage of this compact guidebook to enhance their adventures.
Reseñas de la Crítica
“Diana Hechler paints a vibrant picture of those one-of-a-kind experiences that never quite leave the traveler’s mind — especially those you may never have known existed. She weaves a tapestry of sights, sounds, and experiences that will make anyone want to get up and go.” (Jamie Biesiada, Travel Weekly)
“Strolling with Your Elephant is the ideal travel companion, taking you off the beaten path and on to some truly unique experiences, from Roman chariot racing in Jordan to a tea ceremony at a private museum in Japan. Well-written, and full of insider tips—who knew you can witness a reenactment of Julius Caesar's assassination in the very place it happened?—this book will lead you to those moments that are, after all, why we travel in the first place.” (Barbara Peterson, president of New York Travel Writers’ Association)

Historia
Pulitzer Prize, Biography, 2016. Barbarian Days is William Finnegan's memoir of an obsession, a complex enchantment. Surfing only looks like a sport. To initiates it is something else entirely: a beautiful addiction, a demanding course of study, a morally dangerous pastime, a way of life.

Historia
In Made in America, Bryson de-mythologizes his native land, explaining how a dusty hamlet with neither woods nor holly became Hollywood, how the Wild West wasn't won, why Americans say 'lootenant' and 'Toosday', how Americans were eating junk food long before the word itself was cooked up, as well as exposing the true origins of the G-string, the original $64,000 question, and Dr Kellogg of cornflakes fame.

Historia
The real stories behind the scenery of America’s national parks. For 12 years, Andrea Lankford lived in the biggest, most impressive national parks in the world, working a job she loved. She chaperoned baby sea turtles on their journey to sea. She pursued bad guys on her galloping patrol horse. She jumped into rescue helicopters bound for the heart of the Grand Canyon. She won arguments with bears. She slept with a few too many rattlesnakes. Hell yeah, it was the best job in the world! Fortunately, Andrea survived it.

Historia
The “mountain men” were the hunters and trappers who fiercely strode the Rocky Mountains in the early to mid-1800s. They braved the elements in search of the skins of beavers and other wild animals, to sell or barter for goods. The lifestyle of the mountain men could be harsh, existing as they did among animals, and spending most of their days and nights living and camping out in the great unexplored wilds of the Rockies.

Historia
Tired of the pace and noise of life near London and longing for a better place to raise their young children, Mary J. MacLeod and her husband, George, encountered their dream while vacationing on a remote island in the Scottish Hebrides. Enthralled by its windswept beauty, they soon were the proud and startled owners of a near-derelict croft house - a farmer’s stone cottage - on “a small acre” of land. Mary assumed duties as the island’s district nurse.
