Book Description
One of the First Manuals on Car Camping and Recreational Vehicles This deluxe unabridged reprint Legacy Edition of Elon Jessup's historic The Motor Camping Book is full of classic tips and methods for making the most out of your car camping and recreational vehicle trips. As one of the first books on RVs and car camping published originally in 1921, this vintage book is an essential text for seeing how car camping, trailer life, and campers enjoyed themselves when cars were few and outdoors touring roads were all still covered in dirt! Jessup's analysis and discussion of car camping was ahead of its time. Jessup describes in detail some of the finer points of motor vehicle camping in its earliest days, including chapters on why we camp in our vehicles in the first place, what to pack in your car, water considerations, cooking kits and utensils, cooking fires, food boxes, sleeping arrangements and how to set up tents, car-based shelters in original motor cars, furnishing your campsite, staying out of trouble with common car-based challenges, where to camp with your car in 1921, and laws for motorists of the day. This vintage book includes timeless RV and motor vehicle camping topics. It makes a perfect gift for car campers, van life enthusiasts, trailer and camper RV die-hards, and anyone who longs to spend a weekend or longer in their RV, young and old! This is the classic manual of RVs, preserved for over a century! It also makes a great gift for outsoorspeople, bushcrafters, survivalists, campers, and scouts. Although this book represents thought from a former time, it also reveals much about the rich history of recreational vehicles, and many of the tips, tricks, and discussions are still relevant for study today! A part of the Library of American Outdoors Classics. This Doublebit Legacy Edition facsimile reprint of The Motor Camping Book is professionally restored and presented from the original source, including inspiration from the book's original cover, with the highest degree of fidelity possible.

The Revolt of The Public and the Crisis of Authority in the New Millennium
Author: Martin Gurri
Publisher: Stripe Press
ISBN: 1953953344
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 465
Book Description
How insurgencies—enabled by digital devices and a vast information sphere—have mobilized millions of ordinary people around the world. In the words of economist and scholar Arnold Kling, Martin Gurri saw it coming. Technology has categorically reversed the information balance of power between the public and the elites who manage the great hierarchical institutions of the industrial age: government, political parties, the media. The Revolt of the Public tells the story of how insurgencies, enabled by digital devices and a vast information sphere, have mobilized millions of ordinary people around the world. Originally published in 2014, The Revolt of the Public is now available in an updated edition, which includes an extensive analysis of Donald Trump’s improbable rise to the presidency and the electoral triumphs of Brexit. The book concludes with a speculative look forward, pondering whether the current elite class can bring about a reformation of the democratic process and whether new organizing principles, adapted to a digital world, can arise out of the present political turbulence.

Reclaim your attention, productivity, and happiness with this “captivating, informative and beautifully written” book by learning how to keep your focus on one familiar task at a time (Nate Berkus). Modern life is full of to-do lists, all-consuming technology and the constant pressure to be doing and striving for more. What if you could train your brain to focus on one thing at a time?

Practice resisting distractions and building focus by doing the things you already do—like reading, sleeping, eating, and listening—with renewed attention.

The Vagabonds
Author: Jeff Guinn
Publisher: Simon & Schuster
ISBN: 1501159313
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 320
Book Description
A “fascinating slice of rarely considered American history” (Booklist)—the story of Henry Ford and Thomas Edison—whose annual summer sojourns introduced the road trip to our culture and made the automobile an essential part of modern life. In 1914 Henry Ford and naturalist John Burroughs visited Thomas Edison in Florida and toured the Everglades. The following year Ford, Edison, and tire maker Harvey Firestone joined together on a summer camping trip and decided to call themselves the Vagabonds. They would continue their summer road trips until 1925, when they announced that their fame made it too difficult for them to carry on. Although the Vagabonds traveled with an entourage of chefs, butlers, and others, this elite fraternity also had a serious purpose: to examine the conditions of America’s roadways and improve the practicality of automobile travel. Cars were unreliable and the roads were even worse. But newspaper coverage of these trips was extensive, and as cars and roads improved, the summer trip by automobile soon became a desired element of American life. The Vagabonds is “a portrait of America’s burgeoning love affair with the automobile” (NPR) but it also sheds light on the important relationship between the older Edison and the younger Ford, who once worked for the famous inventor. The road trips made the automobile ubiquitous and magnified Ford’s reputation, even as Edison’s diminished. The automobile would transform the American landscape, the American economy, and the American way of life and Guinn brings this seminal moment in history to vivid life.
