(Nature lovers needn't be discouraged by Florida's populat...)
Nature lovers needn't be discouraged by Florida's population boom. As Orange Blossom Trails testifies, hikers can still find solitude a hundred yards from most trailheads in the state. Whether they walk the abandoned Seven-Mile Bridge to perfect Pigeon Key, watch birds feeding in the Indian River at Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge as the space shuttle rises in the distance, observe fish, turtles, deer, birds, and manatees congregating at Manatee Springs, or scour Torreya State Park in search of a tree so rare that only 1,500 specimens survive in the wild, visitors may discover their own vision of Florida's wild side in the 16 walks included here. Maps and travel information combine with Phillip Manning's rich essays to make this both a practical guidebook and a memorable read.

("Atoms, Molecules, and Compounds" goes behind the scenes ...)
"Atoms, Molecules, and Compounds" goes behind the scenes of day-to-day chemistry to explore the atoms that govern chemical processes. In clear language, this exciting book shows how the interactions between simple substances such as salt and water are crucial to life on Earth and how those interactions are predestined by the atoms that make up the molecules. In addition, the stories of the scientists whose discoveries shaped the modern world, such as Niels Bohr and Albert Einstein, are presented here in gripping detail. Brimming with full-color photographs and illustrations and enhanced by sidebars and a glossary, "Atoms, Molecules, and Compounds" enables readers to explore the incredible discoveries highlighted in this book.

Benjamin Franklin Award finalist for best travel narrative in 1993 More than 500 miles from east to west, and with a landscape that rises from sea level to over a mile in altitude, North Carolina is a naturalist's dream. The 18 walks presented here are among the best the state has to offer. From the massive Canadian hemlocks and yellow poplars in Joyce Kilmer Memorial Forest to the peat-rich pocosins at Jones Lake State Park, from the feisty gray squirrels in Duke Forest to the ghost crabs and loggerhead turtles on Bear Island, this guide presents a well-rounded sampling for those who want to learn about and enjoy North Carolina's natural areas. With its attention to natural and cultural history and its hard facts for walkers on the trail, it is designed for armchair travelers and outdoorsmen alike.
