  Inventing Niagara - Beauty Power...

  Americans call Niagara Falls a natural wonder, but the falls aren't very natural anymore. In fact, they are a study in artifice. Water diverted, riverbed reshaped, brink stabilized, and landscape redesigned, the falls are more a monument to man's meddling than to nature's strength. Held up as an example of something real, they are hemmed in with fakery—waxworks, haunted houses, IMAX films, and ersatz Indian tales. A symbol of American manifest destiny, they are shared politely with Canada. Emblematic of nature's power, they are completely human-controlled. An archetype of natural beauty, the falls belie an ugly environmental legacy still bubbling up from below. On every level, Niagara Falls is a monument to how America falsifies nature, reshaping its contours and redirecting its force while claiming to submit to its will. 
   
  Combining history, reportage, and personal narrative, Inventing Niagara traces Niagara's journey from sublime icon to engineering marvel to camp spectacle. Along the way, Ginger Strand uncovers the hidden history of America's waterfall: the Mohawk chief who wrested the falls from his adopted tribe, the revered town father who secretly assisted slave catchers, the wartime workers who unknowingly helped build the atomic bomb, and the building contractor who bought and sold a pharaoh. With an uncanny ability to zero in on the buried truth, Strand introduces us to underwater dams, freaks of nature, mythical maidens, and 280,000 radioactive mice buried at Niagara. 
   
  From LaSalle to Lincoln to Los Alamos, Mohawks to Marilyn, Niagara's story is America's story, a tale of dreams founded on the mastery of nature. At a time of increasing environmental crisis, Inventing Niagara shows us how understanding the cultural history of nature might help us to rethink our place in it today.

  Walking with Spring

  In 1948, the Appalachian Trail had been a continuous, 2,000-mile footpath for eleven years, but no one had walked its length alone in a continuous journey—until Earl Shaffer, a quiet Pennsylvanian, became a hiking legend and the first of what is now more than 5,500 A.T. "thru-hikers," walking from Georgia to Maine as spring arrived to each area. In 1998, he hiked again as a 50th-anniversary celebration, to far greater publicity. This is the lyrical account of his fabled 1948 walk. 
   
   
   
  Written soon after the first of his three thru-hikes, Walking with Spring chronicles Shaffer's adventures along a path that at the time was showing neglect of the war years and has since been rerouted significantly to its permanent location. His simply stated story has served as an inspiration for more than 9,000 men and women who have since followed in his footsteps . . . and many more who have tried.

  Cleanse Your Body and Mind, and Lose Weight with Autophagy and Intermittent Fasting! 
  Losing weight, or preventing weight gain are two things the majority of people on the planet have had trouble with, at some point in their lives. We work hard and live fast, and finding time to eat properly and exercise can be challenging. 
  But what if losing weight and improving your physical health doesn’t have to be a time-consuming, tedious process? 
  What if your body already possesses the ability to prolong your life, make you look younger and lose weight? 
  This ability is called Autophagy, and it might sound like magic, but it relies on undisputable science and biology. Our bodies are made of cells that are constantly regenerating. As we get older, the regenerating process is gradually slowing down. That’s why it’s harder to lose weight when we hit a certain age, and our skin starts to lose its flexibility and wrinkles. Autophagy is a biological process of cleaning damaged cells and generates healthy ones. 
  You already have the power to trigger it, and this book will show you exactly how to do it! 
  Here’s what you’ll learn: 
  ●	The complete science behind Autophagy, different types and mechanisms  
  ●	How to activate Autophagy in your body and use it slow down the aging process 
  ●	Techniques for boosting Autophagy and preventing cells from damaging and dying 
  ●	How to use intermittent fasting to induce and power up the Autophagy 
  ●	Avoiding common mistakes that can sabotage the process 
  ●	How to use Autophagy to prevent diseases and heal your body naturally 
  ●	And much, much, more!
