This guide tell you what to see, how to get around, where to stay and eat -- all you need to know. The Coastal Plain includes the increasingly metropolitan area of Hampton Roads, the two counties on the Delmarva Peninsula known as the Eastern Shore, and the rural counties that make up the Chesapeake Bay region. The coastal plain extends inland for about 100 miles to a line that runs north and south from Arlington through Richmond, and down to Emporia in Brunswick county on the North Carolina border. In places, the great plain, slashed from east to west into three peninsulas by the Potomac, the Rappahannock, the York, and the James rivers, remains swampy, undeveloped wetlands. Typical of this is the 750-square-mile Great Dismal Swamp National Wildlife Area south of Suffolk and Chesapeake in the extreme southeastern corner of the state. This guide tell you what to see, how to get around, where to stay and eat -- all you need to know. "An excellent destination guide."-- The Bookwatch "Chock-full of attractions town by town; thoroughly interesting. Excellent detail; this excellent guide will take good care of you." -- Bon Voyage "As a native Virginian, I don't know why it took me so long to discover this book. It's a great reference to have for both residents and visitors. I spent the first two hours just looking up points of interest and trivia about the Old Dominion. Virginia has so many historical sites that touring the state is like taking a class on the formation of America. A tourist can visit Revolutionary War Sites, Civil War Battlefields, scenic old towns, and the beautifully restored great houses, like Mount Vernon in Alexandria , Monticello in Charlottesville, Oatlands Plantation in Leesburg and, of course, the James River Plantations. Williamsburg is a must-see for everyone. This book's Introduction gives a little background of Virginia and some general history. The handbook is then divided into the five regional areas of the state. They are the Northern, Central, Coastal Plain, Southwest and the Shenandoah Valley. Within these divisions information is given on the counties and major cities. In each place, the historic sites, annual events, shopping places, museums, hotel accommodations, recreation areas, dining and local transportation are all listed and given detailed descriptions. I think that the best way to truly critique a guide book is to read about an area that you know pretty well and see how the authors handled that region. All of the major sites were mentioned in my area and the accommodations and things to do were all covered. I checked out the restaurants listed and there were eight mentioned. I would have left out two. One major restaurant was not included. Other than that minor point, the authors gave a pretty accurate description of my area. This book is very concise and I believe it to be a very helpful guide to traveling in the great state of Virginia." -- Judith Miller "This guidebook does a good job of presenting its information in a concise, meaningful way. You can easily flip through its well-marked sections and feel as if you are taking a trip all over Virginia! I like that each section (History, Shopping) starts with a quick intro, telling you the overall feel of that area.

Recent surveys reveal that more than eighteen million people in North America have survived a near-death experience. That’s an incredibly large number of people who have lived through a life-changing event. Remarkably, it is also estimated that as many as three times that number have experienced a mystical or spiritual encounter. A new book, Eyes of an Angel, carries a compelling message that these people and their families yearn to hear. Indeed, it is a message the whole world needs to hear. Eyes of an Angel is an amazing, true account of Soul Travel, Angels, Spirit Guides, Soul Mates, and the Reality of Love. Written in a compelling, easy to read style, it conveys a unique and fascinating story. Not only will it appeal to those who are believers in the spiritual and paranormal, but also to the general population who want to believe that these things are true. A former television news reporter and mayor of a Canadian city, Paul Elder is a survivor of two near-death experiences — a drowning at the age of 12, and a heart attack at the age of 41. A previously avowed skeptic, Elder found, to his dismay, that his near-death encounters had opened within him a psychic doorway to the spirit world — a doorway he has been able to return through, time and time again. With the assistance of angels and spirit guides, he was systematically led through a series of stunning revelations. From reunions with departed souls to the discovery of soul mates and past lives, his re-education left him with incredible insights as to our true nature and purpose in the universe. Eyes of an Angel is the true story of a mainstream politician who could not openly share or discuss the profound, spiritual experiences changing his perspective on life. Skillfully integrating near-death and out-of-body experiences in a way that has never been done before, Elder’s story will encourage readers to truly listen to their own intuition and guidance, striving to live from their heart centers, rather than just from their heads. A book of hope and courage, it can instantly change millions of lives. It will give readers of books like Conversations With God inspiration to create their own dialogue with their own spirit guides and God. Unlike any other book on the market, Eyes of an Angel offers a gripping first hand account of a remarkable spiritual adventure. Its story will keep you spellbound, while its message resonates deep within your soul. 
There is no better way to see America than on foot. And there is no better way to appreciate what you are looking at than with a walking tour. Whether you are preparing for a road trip or just out to look at your own town in a new way.Each walking tour describes historical and architectural landmarks and provides pictures to help out when those pesky street addresses are missing. Every tour also includes a quick primer on identifying architectural styles seen on American streets. Few American cities have been as repeatedly shaped by war as Norfolk. During the American Revolution the town, that had been incorporated in 1705 and granted a Royal charter as a borough in 1736, was a Loyalist stronghold mostly concerned with keeping its trade routes to England filled. This didn't prevent the British from shelling the city in 1776. When eight hours of bombing ended almost two-thirds of the city was in flames. Local patriots destroyed the remaining buildings for strategic reasons. British warships returned in the War of 1812 and again attacked the bustling port that had rebuilt in the previous 30 years. This time batteries at Fort Norfolk and Fort Nelson repulsed the invaders. Half a century later the War between the States brought a new series of disasters. After Virginia departed the Union, departing Federal troops burned the navy yard in Portsmouth. The ironclad CSS Virginia gained the Confederacy's greatest naval victory when it sank the USS Cumberland and Congress on March 8, 1862, in Hampton Roads. When the Virginia set sail the next morning it was with the full expectation of finishing the destruction of the wooden Union fleet. Instead, it met the USS Monitor, another ironclad. People gathered on shore to watch the battle that would forever change naval warfare. After three hours, the Virginia retired, the battle a draw. Two months later, in May 1862, Mayor William Lamb surrendered Norfolk to General John E. Wood and Union forces. The city would remain under martial law for the duration of the war. In 1907 the city staged the 300th birthday of the founding of Jamestown and during the exposition high-ranking naval officers agreed that the site was ideal for a permanent naval base. During World War I there were 34,000 enlisted men on the base. Eventually Naval Station Norfolk became the largest naval base in the world. The military remains the largest employer in Virginia's second-largest city (behind neighboring Virginia Beach). As a nod to the entwinement of the city's fortunes with its military past our walking tour will begin at a monument to Norfolk's brief stay in the Confederate States of America...

A Spiritual Hitchhiker's Guide to the Universe is the perfect book for readers who feel that their religious tradition no longer satisfies their spiritual needs. An elegantly written memoir and meditation, the book explores the many paths of enlightenment available to readers looking beyond today"s churches, temples and synagogues. Author Paul Rademacher, a former Presbyterian minister, found that too often church focused too much on eternity--what happens when we die. With this book, he shows that the rightful focus of any true spiritual path is on infinity--how to experience eternity, the fullness of our divinity, in the here and now. Rademacher has written a deeply personal book that often uses biblical texts as a jumping-off point to explore enlightenment outside of any traditional religious institution. His quest for enlightenment ultimately led him to discover the work of the Monroe Institute, where is now executive director. A Spiritual Hitchhiker's Guide to the Universe is a beautiful book for any spiritual seeker who wants a deeper spiritual life than traditional religious life can provide.

Paul Hill was a well-respected NASA scientist when, in the early 1950s, he had a UFO sighting. Soon after, he built the first flying platform and was able to duplicate the UFO's tilt-to-control maneuvers. Official policy, however, prevented him from proclaiming his findings. "I was destined," says Hill, "to remain as unidentified as the flying objects." For the next twenty-five years, Hill acted as an unofficial clearing house at NASA, collecting and analyzing sightings' reports for physical properties, propulsion possibilities, dynamics, etc. To refute claims that UFOs defy the laws of physics, he had to make "technological sense... of the unconventional object." After his retirement from NASA, Hill finally completed his remarkable analysis. In Unconventional Flying Objects, published posthumously, he presents his findings that UFOs "obey, not defy, the laws of physics." Vindicating his own sighting and thousands of others, he proves that UFO technology is not only explainable, but attainable. Author: Paul R.

On March 9, 1862, the "battle of the century" took place at Hampton Roads. The U. S. S. Monitor, the world's first all-iron fighting ship, repulsed the Confederate ironclad Merrimack. In so doing, the Yankee vessel demolished forever the "wooden walls" of the fleets oak and billowing canvas, helped ensure a Northern victory in the Civil War. Thunder at Hampton Roads is the only book that covers the entire story of the Monitor, from its inception to its rediscovery in 1973. Drawing on personal accounts and old logs, Hoehling describes the life and times of the famous ship. Ridiculed as a freak of its day, the Monitor was specifically designed to combat the indestructible Merrimack. But is was such an odd-looking craft that one Union officer told the Swedish inventor, John Ericsson, to take his model home "and worship it, as it would not be idolatry, because it was in the image of nothing in the heavens above, or on the earth beneath, or in the waters under the earth. "Hoehling brings to life the exciting race between North and South to achieve naval supremacy. He vividly re-creates the Monitor's famous clash with the Merrimack. And gives a dramatic account of how a team of marine scientists rediscovered the Monitor twelve miles off Cape Hatteras, resting on the ocean floor. Thunder at Hampton Roads is the complete story of one of the world's greatest fighting ships.Author: A. A.

This is a study of a special seaport, where the USA's history started nearly four centuries ago, the port known from Singapore to Rotterdam, from Buenos Aires to Sydney, for ships and seamen. It is Hampton Roads, Henry Wriothesley, the Earl of Southampton's roadstead. It occupies 25 miles of salted Virginia water just west of the southern end of one of the world's largest estuaries, Chesapeake Bay. This text provides an overview of the port, describing a number of events and people, from the first Europeans venturing into the great water seeking gold or a way to Cathay, to modern tugs, barges, and nuclear carriers leaving for destinations around the world.

Streetwise East Hampton Map - Laminated City Street Map of East Hampton, New York - Folding pocket size travel map with integrated LIRR tracks & Jitney stopsThis map covers the following areas: East Hampton embodies rural glamour. Where else can you find Tiffany’s and a farm stand within 2 miles of each other? Bicycles share the road with Bentleys, and vintage pickup trucks are admired as much for their status as their practicality. Much is made of the concentration of wealth and celebrities, but it’s the natural beauty that is the real star. The wide sandy beaches are some of the most beautiful in all of America. The light, in the summer particularly, is clear and warm. Weathered shingle houses stand among the dunes and tree lined lanes. This area used to be known as a collection of potato farms and artist's studios. Now, new houses dot the fields instead of potato plants in almost equal numbers. The original artists who made the area famous as a creative haven have been replaced by a younger generation who also cherish the light and beauty inherited from Mother Nature. Getting around the township of East Hampton can be challenging. Winding roads, new growth and snarling traffic during the season can combine to create a navigational nightmare, unless you’re equipped with the STREETWISE® East Hampton Map. Known as the map of the Hamptons, the STREETWISE® East Hampton Map covers everything from Wainscott to Montauk. Hotels, restaurants, shopping areas, parking, parks, cemeteries, beaches, and places of interest are all marked on the map and listed in the index. Sag Harbor, officially half in East Hampton and half in Southampton Townships, and North Haven are also depicted on the map. If you want to get around East Hampton, Amagansett, Sag Harbor or any other locality in the eastern tip of Long Island New York, this is the one and only map for you. Our pocket size map of East Hampton is laminated for durability and accordion folding for effortless use.
