Fifteen Years and 90,000 Miles on the Roads and Interstates of America with Lewis and Clark, a Lot of Bad Motels, a Moving Van, Emily Post, Jack Kerouac, My Wife, My Mother-In-law, Two Kids, and Enough Coffee to Kill an Elephant

Robert Sullivan, who has driven cross-country more than two dozen times, recounts one of his family's many journeys from Oregon to New York. His story of moving his family back and forth from the East Coast to the West Coast (along with various other migrations), is replete with all the minor disasters, humor, and wonderful coincidences that characterize life on the road, not to mention life.

As he drives, Sullivan ponders his Lewis and Clark and other fellow nation-crossers, meets Beat poets who are devotees of cross-country icon Jack Kerouac, and plays golf on an abandoned coal mine. And, in his trademark celebration of the mundane, Sullivan investigates everything from the history of the gas pump to the origins of fast food and rest stops. Cross Country tells the tales that come from fifteen years of driving across the country (and all around it) with two kids and everything that two kids and two parents take when driving in a car from one coast to another, over and over, driving to see the way the road made America and America made the road.

What the Prophet of Environmentalism Really Meant

Robert Sullivan, the New York Times bestselling author of Rats and Cross Country, delivers a revolutionary reconsideration of Henry David Thoreau for modern readers of the seminal transcendentalist. Dispelling common notions of Thoreau as a lonely eccentric cloistered at Walden Pond, Sullivan (whom the New York Times Book Review calls "an urban Thoreau") paints a dynamic picture of Thoreau as the naturalist who founded our American ideal of "the Great Outdoors;" the rugged individual who honed friendships with Ralph Waldo Emerson and other writers; and the political activist who inspired Martin Luther King, Jr., Mahatma Gandhi, and other influential leaders of progressive change. You know Thoreau is one of America's legendary writers...but the Thoreau you don't know may be one of America's greatest heroes.

"Engaging...a lively, informative compendium of facts, theories, and musings."-Michiko Kakutani, New York Times

Behold the rat, dirty and disgusting! Robert Sullivan turns the lowly rat into the star of this most perversely intriguing, remarkable, and unexpectedly elegant New York Times bestseller.

Love them or loathe them, rats are here to stay-they are city dwellers as much as (or more than) we are, surviving on the effluvia of our society. In Rats, the critically acclaimed bestseller, Robert Sullivan spends a year investigating a rat-infested alley just a few blocks away from Wall Street. Sullivan gets to know not just the beast but its friends and foes: the exterminators, the sanitation workers, the agitators and activists who have played their part in the centuries-old war between human city dweller and wild city rat.

Sullivan looks deep into the largely unrecorded history of the city and its masses-its herds-of-rats-like mob. Funny, wise, sometimes disgusting but always compulsively readable, Rats earns its unlikely place alongside the great classics of nature writing.

This book is a celebration. In these pages we put on splendid photographic display the glories by of 100 of America's most beautiful, most important, most intriguing places.
There are vast national parks here and tiny corners of the country where might exist a sublime museum or a storied ballpark. From the scenic coast of Maine to the thunderous volcanoes of Hawaii, from far northern Alaska to the tip of the Florida Keys-with stops in between in San Francisco, Santa Fe and in our nation's capital, to name but three-LIFE celebrates the bounteous natural and man-made artistry that is a great source of American pride.
This book is a journey. In the evocative words that accompany the photographs, LIFE takes you on the road. Whether it's a slow drive through the rolling landscape of Kentucky's horse country or a dramatic descent into an underground labyrinth of caves, the frisson of being in the scene is palpable. There is history to be learned -at Gettysburg, at Concord in Massachusetts, at the Alamo. There are tips to be filed away-the best gardens to visit this summer, what's not to be missed during that getaway to Newport or Mackinac or Santa Catalina.
This book is a showcase. Herein we present portfolios from three of the finest American nature and landscape photographers ever: Joel Meyerowitz, Michael Melford and the legendary Ansel Adams. Each of these men made memorable pictures of many places, but focused intently on one place above others. And so we let Meyerowitz give us his vision of Cape Cod, Melford take us on a tour of the Hawaiian islands and Adams show us the monumentality of his beloved Yosemite.
The photographs in these portfolios are suitable for framing, as is the bonus Ansel Adams print included in America the Beautiful.
This book is, finally, an invitation. It is meant to entertain you, certainly, but also to inspire you.
There are 100 places celebrated here, and it is a lucky American who gets to visit them.
So we invite you to see your country in these pages.
And, then -to get up and go.
