And if you're looking for someplace to stay during your trip, the authors give you insight from their visits to inns, hotels, and bed and breakfasts along the coast. From the natural beauty of the Coastal Birding Trail, to the comfort of Green Oaks Bed and Breakfast, to the delicacies at the Destin Ice House Seafood Market, you'll know where to eat, sleep, and shop (among other things).

Paperback. Condición: Good. Katrina's arrival on the Gulf Coast was a long time in coming. But it was assured. Since 1965, when Hurricane Betsy struck New Orleans, breached a levee, and flooded part of the city, everyone was waiting and talking about when the Big One would strike and do even more damage. Katrina was that hurricane, predictedand imagined before she struck, but so much worse in her reality. Holding Back the Sea is about the consequences of ignoring the warning signs that nature provides and the struggle to convince the rest of the country that South Louisiana lay in the path of destruction. The signs were not subtle; there were Hurricanes Andrew in 1992, George and Mitch in 1998, and Ivan in 2004, among others. At one time or another in their journeys north, they all threatened New Orleans. Some had headed right for the city before veering to the east and west, sparing the Big Easy and reinforcing the nickname. But the Big Easy ended -- at least in reputation -- on August 29, 2005, when the Big One came ashore as Katrina.…

Paperback. Condición: Very Good. : BERLIN TO THE GULF OF MEXICO; POW 5518 REMEMBERS author James J. Crooke, Jr. On his third combat mission over Germany as a B-17 Navigator the formation of bombers exploded sending four of the air crewmen to their deaths. The author and four other air crewmen parachuted to quick captivity some 20 miles from Berlin. J. Earle Bowden, Editor Emeritus The Pensacola News Journal in his column January 27, 2007 succinctly describes the author's first book: His lean narrative provides the mirror through which we see the many whose youth was cut short and their war transformed to cruel isolation, while others fought to liberate Europe. His memoir is a clearly articulated lesson for other generations. Bowden continues: With these revelations, Crooke hopes others will never know the hard lessons of his generation. As the years have passed, Crooke has obviously deepened his appreciation for all the old familiar places that were and will never be again.…

Hardback. Condición: Good. "Exquisite and gripping. . . . The Gulf is a page turner to be savored; Cochran is a master of both prose and plot."--Ilana Masad, author of All My Mother's Lovers In this electrifying debut literary thriller, set on the gulf coast of Texas in the 1970s at the height of the women's liberation movement, a closeted young woman attempts to solve her surrogate mother's murder in a tight-knit, religious small town.
