Venture off the beaten path down forgotten roads and discover where a hidden South Carolina exists. Time-travel and dead-end at a ferry that leads to wild islands.

Drive through a ghost town and wonder why it died. When's the last time you saw a country store's cured hams hanging from wires? How about a vintage Bull Durham tobacco ad on old brick? Author Tom Poland explores scenic back roads that lead to heirloom tomatoes, poke salad, restaurants that were once gas stations, overgrown ruins and other soulful relics.

In her third book of off-the-beaten-track explorations of western Canada, Liz Bryan travels scenic roads of British Columbia's Lower Mainland and Vancouver Island. From country routes winding through the Fraser Valley to forest roads on Vancouver Island leading to coastal settlements such as Zeballos and Telegraph Cove, these journeys celebrate amazing landscapes and trace the early human history of these regions. Since some of coastal BC's interesting places are accessible only by boat, the book also takes readers on excursions along the fjord-riven coast to such places as Friendly Cove and Sechart Whaling Station. From sandy bays to rocky headlands, quiet farmland to rugged forest, high mountains to rushing rivers, Liz Bryan captures the beauty of western British Columbia. There are maps for every route, and each tour is full of spectacular images.

These rhymes take the reader along some Country Roads chosen and taken by the Bessie Hardy family and friends in the tiny coal mining town of Squire, West Virginia in the 1930-1960 era. The general intent was to selectively portray people and events from a boyhood perspective with some rhymes featuring fictitious "carbide" to perhaps represent a different person or idea within each of such rhymes.
