Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What was the Shore like before? For millions, summer means a trip to the Shore. Every generation brings a new perspective and a new sense of discovery. Every visitor returns home with tales of their experience along this beloved sandy coastline. Shore Chronicles enlightens contemporary Shore-lovers with fascinating historical perspective. This comprehensive collection begins with adventure travel in 1764 when the Shore was still a wild frontier. It concludes in 1955 with the opening of the Garden State Parkway, which brought with it exponentially more visitors and rapid development. A total of 50 accounts -- illustrated with 50 historic images -- include writing by such well-known figures as John J. Audubon, Walt Whitman, Robert Louis Stevenson, Stephen Crane and Arthur Conan Doyle. But just as interesting are selections from private journals, letters and diaries from unknowns vacationing or visiting the Shore. As fresh as their experiences are to visitors each year, the fundamental attractions of the seashore resonate throughout time. Yet it is stunning to read how different the landscape and environment was before development.

Book excerpt: The best and newest big-wave surfing stories from the sport’s insiders More than a decade ago, John Long published his now classic The Big Drop, an unprecedented look at the larger-than-life frontier of big wave surfing. Since then, the sport has exploded in popularity. The big wave bar keeps rising as extreme surfers continue to seek out, surf, and survive a ride on the elusive 100-foot wave. The incredible stories of a new generation of thrill-seeking, death-defying surfers and stunning, full-color photography of monster waves fill the pages of this new collection by John Long and former surfing pro Sam George. A powerful, contemporary look at the men and women who live and breathe for the next big wave and the bigger, more dangerous challenge, The Big Juice presents a rich history of characters, controversies, heroism, humor, and tragedy that define the sport.
