Written by two geology professors, this hiking guide takes you from the highest point in Massachusetts--Mount Greylock in the Berkshires--to the great sand dunes of Cape Cod, along the way highlighting the area's flora and fauna, and human and natural history. Part of the popular Fifty Hikes series, the guide points out refreshing swimming holes, smooth sunbathing rocks, and scenic vistas. But authors John Brady and Brian White leave the trail of the standard hiking guide when they describe the massive earth forces that push mountains up and erode valleys down, giving the hiker a whole new respect for the landscape. The book, designed for day hiking, includes the difficulty, mileage, hiking time, maximum elevation, and vertical rise for each of the 50 trails, and generously illustrates each with topographic maps and photographs. This is a valuable Massachusetts hiking companion, for the novice as well as the experienced hiker. --Dolores Kong

When Trout Unlimited rated the 100 best trout streams in the United States, nine of its choices were in the southern Appalachians, In this book veteran angler and writer Jimmy Jacobs takes readers to these famous rivers and to many lesser known waters in this five-state region, which boasts some of the finest fly-fishing anywhere in North America. In preparing this first comprehensive fly-angler's guide to the area, Jacobs drove over 25,000 miles, hiked hundreds more, and consulted with many state fisheries managers and knowledgeable local anglers. Features include 37 chapters on the region's major river systems; a clear map and detailed access information for each river and in productive tributaries; information on hatches, other trout foods, and the most effective patterns for individual streams; access points to streams with light to nonexistent fishing pressure and tips for avoiding elbow to elbow conditions on the more famous rivers; discussion of casting and wading conditions; and coverage of adjacent regions, including the Cumberland Plateau of Kentucky and Tennessee and the Carolina foothills. George-born Jimmy Jacobs has been fishing the streams and rivers of the Southern highlands for 25 years. He was Publications Editor for Fish &amp; Game Publications in Marietta, Georgia and authored Trout Fishing in North Georgia and contributed articles to Fly Fisherman, Georgia Sportsman, and many other magazines.
