In the Apalachicola River Valley; outdoor adventure is a way of life. Its a culture of fishing; hunting and everything in between; but this culture is fading as overdevelopment upstream dries up the regions natural resources. These narratives are part of an effort to capture the memories and keep those traditions alive. The quirky stories include calling a gator to a creek bank; exploring the origin of "Polehenge" and understanding just what makes Catawba worms so special. Learn the basics of frog gigging and ponder how many fish make a "mess." Author and Florida native Jim McClellan revives local stories from the banks of the Big River and preserves the allure of this fading swamp paradise.

Very interesting observation.By paul k. robertsonMost people tend to recoil at either hearing or reading the word "disco" but this book takes the subject and puts into a very interesting sociological context. It takes the time frame of disco from the mid seventies to its demise in the early eighties and threads disco through its importance in ethnicity; sexual orientation and social class consciousness. Good reading if you either loved disco or hated it.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful.

Fabulous!By JessicaAlice Echolss book on discos part in the 70s cultural revolution is fantastic. Although each section focuses on a different population (such as women; gay men; and rock fans); she never allows you to forget about the other groups as she goes along; weaving together a complex and intricate view of disco and 1970s culture.
