Away Out Over Everything: The Olympic Peninsula and the Elwha River
Peck, Mary Stanford General Books 0804750335 / 9780804750332 Hardcover Very Good
0804750335 ~Very Good in Very Good Dust Jacket. Light shelf wear to corners and edges. Satisfaction guaranteed. Book is oversized and/or heavy, priority or international orders will require additional shipping funds. Inspired by long walks and extended backcountry trips on Washington's Olympic Peninsula, Mary Peck's contemplative photographs evoke the stillness and balance one can find by slowing down and simply paying attention. Neither idealized nor nostalgic, Peck's photographs point toward beauty and hope in a landscape that has suffered its share of environmental indignities, yet still carries the powerful mystery of wildness into an uncertain future. Charles Wilkinson's illuminating essay traces historical attitudes toward land and water in the American West, and reflects on the now-outmoded laws that have governed development for nearly two centuries. With the impending removal of two dams, erected on the Elwha River almost one hundred years ago, wild salmon, long prevented from reaching upstream spawning areas, are about to return and restore their ancient runs on one of the most diverse and productive streams in the country. Images and text afford us glimpses of the primeval power that still lingers in this wild place. Peck?s meditations on the roadless ocean beaches, the emerald river valleys with their old-growth temperate rain forests, and the denuded hillsides urge the reader to acknowledge the less tangible values we must consider in managing our natural resources.

The Dynamics of Change: A History of the Washington State Library
Reynolds, Maryan E.; Davis, Joel Washington State Univ Pr 0874222486 / 9780874222487 PAPERBACK Very Good
0874222486 Signed and inscribed by State Librarian Jan Walsh~Very Good. No DJ, as issued. Trade Paperback. Light shelf wear to covers/corners; clean text/tight binding; satisfaction guaranteed. Prior to being appointed State Librarian in 2002, Jan worked in the State Library as Assistant Director for Customer Service from 1997. Born in Short Hills, N.J., Walsh earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Education from Pennsylvania State University and a Master of Library Science degree from the University of Pittsburgh. During her time with the Washington State Library, Walsh has held numerous positions in the American Library Association and the Washington Library Association, is past president of the Western Council of State Libraries, and is a member of Humanities Washington and the Governor?s Broadband Advisory Council. Walsh plans to stay active in the library community, and she will work part-time with the YMCA's "Exercise and Thrive, Live Strong" fitness program for cancer survivors. She retired in 2002. The Dynamics of Change is a unique and valuable history of the Washington State Library, from its territorial beginnings in 1853 to the late 1990s. Maryan Reynolds breathes life into this historical narrative with her firsthand account of the library's expansion since the 1940s, when she joined the staff. The Dynamics of Change is a chronicle of the development of a critical state public service, recounting how the Washington State Library facilitated the effective functioning of state government, the development of library service in the state, and the leading role women have played in establishing superior and technologically sophisticated library services for the citizens of Washington - services nationally recognized as outstanding.
