Описание:
Although the 76.2-mile Foothills National Recreation Trail begins and ends in South Carolina's "golden corner" along the Blue Ridge Escarpment, it also traverses two of North Carolina's most beautiful mountain counties. Along the way it crosses five rivers, passes numerous spectacular waterfalls, and climbs to South Carolina's highest point.
This slim pocket guide has concise thru-hike directions from either end of the trail, detailed maps, major and minor trailheads; the best day hikes and overnights; campsites, water sources, and GPS coordinates. All this and more in an easy-to-use reference format that will help you keep your pack small and light.
Описание: The North Carolina barrier islands, a 325-mile-long string of narrow sand islands that forms the coast of North Carolina, are one of the most beloved areas to live and visit in the United States. However, extensive barrier island segments and their associated wetlands are in jeopardy. In The Battle for North Carolina's Coast, four experts on coastal dynamics examine issues that threaten this national treasure.
According to the authors, the North Carolina barrier islands are not permanent. Rather, they are highly mobile piles of sand that are impacted by sea-level rise and major storms and hurricanes. Our present development and management policies for these changing islands are in direct conflict with their natural dynamics. Revealing the urgency of the environmental and economic problems facing coastal North Carolina, this essential book offers a hopeful vision for the coast's future if we are willing to adapt to the barriers' ongoing and natural processes. This will require a radical change in our thinking about development and new approaches to the way we visit and use the coast. Ultimately, we cannot afford to lose these unique and valuable islands of opportunity. This book is an urgent call to protect our coastal resources and preserve our coastal economy.

Описание: Many different organizations and professionals across North Carolina are involved with protecting older adults from abuse, neglect, and exploitation. Three governmental components - county social services agencies, clerks of superior court, and law enforcement agencies - are key players in this effort. But many others play important roles, including health care providers, private and court-appointed attorneys, financial institutions, and state and federal agencies. While all of these components share the same objective, each has different responsibilities and levels of authority.
This manual provides an overview of the bodies of law that serve as the foundation for North Carolina's somewhat fragmented elder protection system. The manual, in conjunction with the other resources soon to be available at protectadults.sog.unc.edu, is designed to support connectivity and understanding among those involved with protecting older adults across the state.
