Appalachia: Index and Glossary: June 2011
http://appalachiaglossaryandindex.blogspot.com/2011_06_01_archive.html
Appalachia: Index and Glossary. 9-8-13:I haven't forgotten and I've been busy on this blog to get it finished and serviceable. It's an enormous project but rewarding in many ways. So the current list in the blog of all Appalachia from 1876 to 2013 and highlighting only those topics that reference the White Mountains, the AMC, the history of skiing, mountain climbing, etc will stay in their current format. I don't exactly know when this will all be finished, but I continue to build the lists. The purpose ...

Gulliver's Nest: William West Durant and his Adirondack Camps
http://gullivers-nest.blogspot.com/2015/08/william-west-durant-and-his-adirondack_7.html
Anecdotes of the New England outdoors and beyond. Friday, August 7, 2015. William West Durant and his Adirondack Camps. The main lodge at Camp Pine Knot. William West Durant in 1884. Long Lake, only a short seaplane ride from Camp Pine Knot. Thus Durant built in an era both dynamic and anxious, and his edifices reveal a great deal about how he and his patrons felt about these substantial societal challenges. A bed at Camp Pine Knot. One of the smaller fireplaces at Sagamore. The chalet at Camp Pine Knot.

Gulliver's Nest: August 2012
http://gullivers-nest.blogspot.com/2012_08_01_archive.html
Anecdotes of the New England outdoors and beyond. Tuesday, August 21, 2012. The Troubles Writ Large. I recently spent a few days in Belfast, an austere and shabby city that is nonetheless in its best shape in a half-century. Tensions between Unionists and Republicans still run high, but the violence that wracked Northern Ireland for so long is over, at least for now. The Peace Line, as the wall running behind these houses is called, divides Shankill from the Catholic Falls Road neighborhood. First bu...

Gulliver's Nest: October 2013
http://gullivers-nest.blogspot.com/2013_10_01_archive.html
Anecdotes of the New England outdoors and beyond. Thursday, October 17, 2013. Soviet Architecture and American Echoes. If Siberia’s wooden houses possess a bucolic charm, its mid-to-late twentieth century architecture lies at the other end of the humanistic spectrum. Dull apartment blocks made of brick or concrete blanket many younger cities in Siberia, particularly Novosibirsk (though these pictures suggest that my eye was most intrigued while in Yekaterinburg). An odd, interesting geometry up close.

Gulliver's Nest: April 2013
http://gullivers-nest.blogspot.com/2013_04_01_archive.html
Anecdotes of the New England outdoors and beyond. Saturday, April 13, 2013. The Warped Geography of Game of Thrones. CS Lewis’ conclusion to the seven-part series, when the remaining Pevensie children romp across nearly the entire length of Narnia as they transcend death and ascend to Aslan’s country, an allegory for heaven. Makil, a larger, more aggressive cousin to the elephant. Posted by Andrew Riely. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Links to the Outdoors. Sociology in My Neighborhood.

Gulliver's Nest: November 2013
http://gullivers-nest.blogspot.com/2013_11_01_archive.html
Anecdotes of the New England outdoors and beyond. Saturday, November 30, 2013. A number of people have asked me about air pollution in Beijing. I must admit that while the smog was bad, especially as we drove out through Beijing, it was not nearly as severe as the worst reports (in Hanjin in early November, most recently, for example). The problem gets worse in the winter when people begin to burn coal for heat. Posted by Andrew Riely. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Links to the Outdoors.

Gulliver's Nest: September 2013
http://gullivers-nest.blogspot.com/2013_09_01_archive.html
Anecdotes of the New England outdoors and beyond. Monday, September 30, 2013. The Wooden Houses of Irkutsk. Posted by Andrew Riely. Monday, September 16, 2013. An Evening in Yekaterinburg. In Yekaterinburg, I ate one night at a restaurant called Dacha. Hired for her facility in English. Eventually, I left and instead of heading straight back to the hotel, wandered down to the west end of Ul Lenina. Walkway in the middle of Ul Lenina. I never figured out what this building is.
