Book Description Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Tantalizing descriptions of the bay's intricate waterways-word pictures of how they are transformed over the four seasons of the year-and an informative discussion of the bay's geology, ecology, and human history will entice the reader to get out and poke around in and on the water. Author John Page Williams, director of special field programs for the Chesapeake Bay Foundation and author of the Naturalist's Almanac in Chesapeake Bay Magazine, writes in a lucid, easygoing style as he introduces these waterways that he has been exploring for over thirty years. He fills readers in on all they need to know about water safety, boat selection, and seamanship, including discussions on the various ways to propel their boats-motoring, rowing, paddling, and poling. In addition, there is a chapter on natural history gear, such as binoculars, field guides, cast nets, books, and maps. _x000D_In the second section, the author focuses attention on a single example of each of a wide range of waterways that represent the varied ecological niches that ring the bay. These trip descriptions include information on access points, a short historical overview, physical characteristics of each watercourse and its banks, and remarks on the flora and fauna to be found there, in a narrative that at once stimulates and inspires. AUTHOR: Drawing on his extensive experience as a field guide and education director for the Chesapeake Bay Foundation, the author describes the Bay's intricate waterways in all seasons, and traces the basics of geology, ecology, and human history as they relate to the Bay. Chapters on water safety, boat selection, and seamanship follow. A chapter on natural history gear and maps concludes the first part of the book. In the second section, Williams provides information on a wide range of waterways that can serve as prototypes for each of the varied ecological niches that ring the Bay. Access points, a short historical overview, physical descriptions of each watercourse and its banks, remarks on the flora and fauna to be found there in one season or another — all these details are presented, and more, in a narrative that at once stimulates and inspires.
