(re)Covering America
Two Italian journalists, husband and wife, who have lived in New York for 25 years, recount America through two coast-to-coast road trips as "special correspondents" for the Italian Cultural Institute of New York. The first journey retraced the pioneers' trails-from New York to Oregon and back through the northern states along the Canadian border. The second led them from New York to San Diego, following the Atlantic coast to Georgia before crossing the southern states. In total, they covered 20,000 miles in 105 days. Their central theme was the discovery of "The Other America," far from the tourist circuits yet close to the nation's authentic heart. Along the way, they uncovered architectural curiosities like the University of Texas at El Paso campus, inspired by Bhutanese temples, and unexpected beauty such as the Crystal Bridges Museum nestled in the woods of Bentonville, Arkansas.

Source to Sea - A 2,000 Mile Canoe Journey Down the Mississippi River
What does it really take to paddle the Mississippi River from its headwaters in remote Minnesota to the Gulf of Mexico?In Source to Sea, Appalachian Trail thru-hiker John Pugh and Jessica Robinson turn a weekend promise into a 73-day odyssey-more than 2,000 miles of currents, critters, comedy, and choices that test body, mind, and partnership. It's also a test of patience and relationships, paddling ten hours a day and rarely more than ten feet from your partner for weeks on end.Pugh and Robinson face a range of challenges, from cold sleet to relentless heat, thunderous storms, looming hurricane threats, and unpredictable currents-all while keeping their sense of humor (mostly) intact.While paddling the river, they partnered with and promoted The Audubon Society's Upper Mississippi River Campaign, using their journey to highlight the importance of protecting the wild waters and river communities that sustain both wildlife and people.The couple veers off the main channel to follow the remote Atchafalaya River; they trade barge traffic for wilderness, commerce for quiet, and the expected route for unexpected discoveries. Along the lower Mississippi, they encounter relentless solitude-days defined by wide water, distant levees, and the haunting beauty of a river few ever truly see.Equal parts pulse-quickening adventure, honest travel memoir, and laugh-out-loud reflection, Source to Sea explores what happens when two people leave the safe path and let the river decide the next bend. For those inspired to launch their own journey, the book includes planning insights and hard-won lessons about gear, logistics, and life on the river.Featuring more than 40 full-color photographs taken during the expedition, the book brings to life the raw beauty, challenges, and perspectives that define life in a canoe, and what it truly means to undertake an expedition of this scale.Perfect For Readers Who: Love true adventure and travel memoirs that blend humor, grit, and reflectionAre drawn to river culture, paddling, thru-hiking, and long-distance expeditionsAppreciate stories of partnership, resilience, solitude, and absurd moments in natureWant practical takeaways for planning their own outdoor adventuresBook DetailsGenre: Adventure / Travel MemoirThemes: Resilience, partnership, exploration, solitude, nature, humor, riskTone: Gritty, reflective, uplifting, humorousIf You Enjoy Books Like These...If you're a fan of Wild by Cheryl Strayed, A Walk in the Woods by Bill Bryson, or Into the Wild by Jon Krakauer, you'll love Source to Sea-a story that delivers both heart-pounding challenges and hilarious, heartfelt revelations that come when you follow a river beyond the map.

Route 66 in Tulsa
Tulsa has always been vital to Route 66. In 1920, as the automobile was altering American life, good roads were nonexistent. Tulsa businessman and civic leader Cyrus Avery led the charge to transform the patchwork of dirt and mud trails that linked cities into a national system of paved highways, culminating in the creation of Route 66 in 1926. For this, Avery is known as the "Father of Route 66." Through the Great Depression, World War II, and the country's postwar prosperity, the "Main Street of America" permeated culture through song, literature, movies, and even a television show. All the while, Tulsa--the "Magic City" with a petroleum pedigree--hosted travelers with big-city services and shopping in an Art Deco setting. And then, the road was gone. It was replaced by the faster, straighter interstate highway system in 1985. The signs came down and the double sixes disappeared until another Tulsan, Michael Wallis, brought them back. In 2024, Tulsa officially became the "Capital of Route 66." Travelers from around the globe get their kicks at exciting attractions from Buck Atom Space Cowboy to Meadow Gold Mack and Mother Road Market to Cyrus Avery Centennial Plaza. Again, neon dances in the Capital of Route 66.Steve Clem is a Route 66 "roadie" (aficionado) and a trustee at Sand Springs Cultural and Historical Museum. Becky Hatchett is president of the Southwest Tulsa Historical Society and volunteers at the Route 66 Historical Village. Rhys Martin serves on Tulsa's Route 66 Commission and is president of the Oklahoma Route 66 Association.
