In our land-related books we speak directly to the specific issues that apply to all types of rural real estate like farms, ranches, timber tracts, recreational tracts, and wooded parcels that can be developed into home sites or camps and retreats. The contributors in this book - like the first book - are the real deal.

Publisher's summary
A good road into your property can be the difference between a landlocked parcel–useful only for recreation–and an extremely valuable real estate asset. But you don't have to wait and hope for a road to come your way. You can build it yourself. Not all roads are constructed by the government or large commercial interests. Private landowners all over the country build roads to and into their own property.
The task seems daunting. Can it even be done with my property? What kind of equipment is needed? What issues and problems should I be thinking about? How do I plan? How the heck do I even start?
This new book by E.B. Farmer, author of The Land Flipper series, helps answer these questions and more about the process of road-building. With years of experience under his belt and in his plainspoken style, Farmer lays out the basic information you'll need to approach this method of adding massive value to your rural acreage.

John Gierach demonstrates once again that fishing, when done right, is as much a philosophical pursuit as a sport. Gierach travels to Wyoming and Maine and points in between, searching out new fly-fishing adventures and savoring familiar waters with old friends. Along the way he meditates on the importance of good guides, the challenge of salmon fishing, and the zen of fishing alone. On a more serious note, he ponders the damaging effects of disasters both natural and man-made.

John Gierach demonstrates once again that fishing, when done right, is as much a philosophical pursuit as a sport. Gierach travels to Wyoming and Maine and points in between, searching out new fly-fishing adventures and savoring familiar waters with old friends. Along the way he meditates on the importance of good guides, the challenge of salmon fishing, and the zen of fishing alone. On a more serious note, he ponders the damaging effects of disasters both natural and man-made.

For most of us, traveling means visiting the most beautiful places on Earth - Paris, the Taj Mahal, the Grand Canyon. It’s rare to book a plane ticket to visit the lifeless moonscape of Canada’s oil sand strip mines, or to seek out the Chinese city of Linfen, legendary as the most polluted in the world. But in Visit Sunny Chernobyl, Andrew Blackwell embraces a different kind of travel, taking a jaunt through the most gruesomely polluted places on Earth.
