After the Storm (Hardcover)
Christopher Beaver
The San Francisco Bay Area is paradise for the outdoor enthusiast, with tens of thousands of open space within easy reach. Much of this open space is under the jurisdiction of the East Bay Regional Park District (EBRPD). Founded in 1934 by conservationists, the EBRPD is a distinct and separate governmental entity whose mission is to preserve and protect open space. It encompasses 659 parks and 29 regional trails running some 1100 miles across more than 97,000 acres in Alameda and Contra Costa counties.
Between 1982 and 1992, Bob Walker (1952-1992), a self-taught photographer and environmental activist, created one of the most memorable photographic portraits of a geographic region ever captured on film. Often working in coordination with the EBRPD, Walker photographed the landscapes and moods of the East Bay. His photographs, together with his persistent advocacy, increased public awareness and resulted in the designation of new East Bay parks. Some of his photos reproduced here document open space that has been lost forever to urban and suburban sprawl.
For the first time, Walker’s magnificent photographs have been gathered together in a large-format book. After the Storm: Bob Walker and the East Bay Regional Park District includes over 80 images carefully selected from the 40,000 slides Walker donated to the Oakland Museum of California. In this book, his photographs and the description of his efforts as an environmental activist create a revealing portrait of a remarkable region—what has been saved and what can so easily be lost.

Alaska Adventure Guide
Melissa DeVaughn
The author has worked to answer all your questions about travel and recreation in a state so remote. This guide attempts to target your interests and save you time, money, and effort so that nothing is wasted during your trip.
Because Alaska is so big and your options so varied, the guide is organized so you can zero in on the activity or activities that appeal to you most. Thirteen chapters focus solely on adventure travel, each devoted to a single activity.
The five regional chapters that follow focus primarily on the basics in a given area of the state: getting around, shopping, lodging, dining, and entertainment. Once you’ve chosen the adventure of your dreams, you can go to the appropriate regional chapter to get the scoop on the best places in the vicinity to stay, eat, buy gear, rent a car, and learn about local culture and history.
Outdoor travelers also are likely independent travelers. A multitude of companies offer exciting-sounding jaunts to scenic places all over the state, but many of these outfits work only with tour providers, such as cruise-ship operators, to obtain large numbers of clients per trip—thus excluding people who wish to travel on their own.
In this guide, all our listings are available to independent travelers as well as those in tour groups.
The objective is not to provide the most information about destinations or attractions, but, rather, the most useful information. The guide is opinionated, and for good reason. Any destination or outfitter listed here has made the cut by proving itself a wonderful place to visit or a reliable company with which to do business. If, for example, you want to learn more about sea kayaking in Alaska, you will not be supplied with every operation in the business—and believe us, there are many of them competing for your dollars. What you will get is a select assortment of those we consider best, and why. After all, isn’t the point of a guidebook to help you make the most informed choices?

Backcountry Fishing
Johnny Molloy
For many anglers, the lure of fishing is not always the fish, but the
places where the fish are. Tossing a rod is just the excuse for heading
into the back of beyond, to enjoy nature on nature's terms, to get past
the parking lot to enter the backcountry.
Whether going by foot or by self-propelled craft, such as a canoe or
kayak, backcountry travel leads anglers from an auto accessible
trailhead or put-in to a fishing destination they must reach on their
own, without a car or motorboat. This is backcountry fishing. The
simplest way is to get there by foot. Walking or hiking to the
destination requires merely a body of water, whether it be a lake or
stream.
Outback travel by boat is a little more complicated. A canoe or kayak
is needed. In this situation you will start at a put-in and if by
river, travel downstream, maybe camping, maybe not, then ending at a
take-out. Other times, you will start and end in the same place,
especially when traveling lakes, or a series of lakes connected by
portages. Many kayaking destinations will be in saltwater. Some
backcountry boating destinations, whether they be fresh or salt, river,
lake or ocean, will be shared by some motor boaters. This guide covers
backcountry fishing, whether day tripping in a canoe, day hiking along
a remote river, or going for a multi-day excursion.
Whether fly fishing, spin fishing, or saltwater fishing, Backcountry Fishing
has all the information needed to be best prepared for backcountry
fishing excursions. * Equipment including repair and maintenance *
Casting techniques * Types of boats, canoes, and kayaks * Backcountry
campsites * List of fish including where to find and bait to use
*Cooking in the backcountry *Safety To help get anglers started, a list
of backcountry fishing destinations for each state is also included
with hiking and paddling destinations. It covers the bodies of water to
be fished, where the waters are, the fish to be caught, backcountry
accesses, what maps will be helpful, what types of overnight camping
possibilities while fishing, and a helpful Internet information link.
