The Chesapeake Bay region is an astounding place, boasting more miles of shoreline than the entire West Coast. It’s home to a thriving community of water-loving creative spirits and one of America’s oldest capital cities—beautiful Annapolis. With 100 Things to Do in Annapolis and the Eastern Shore Before You Die as your guide, locals and visitors alike will unlock the many treasures this region has to offer. Go back in time on remote and disappearing Smith Island, whose residents trace their lineage to the 1600s. Run in the world’s shortest foot race: a heart-calming 0.5K. Sample the fare at a haunted tavern once frequented by Ben Franklin. And no visit to the region would be complete without a bushel of blue crabs, served the Eastern Shore way. Author and reporter Susan Moynihan’s own childhood sailing on the Bay helped her turn her love for her hometown into this insider’s look at the region. Whether you’re coming to tour the Naval Academy, wander Colonial-era streets, or get out on the water, you’ll be amazed by the diversity awaiting you in Annapolis and Maryland’s Eastern Shore. With this indispensable guide, you’ll never run out of new things to do “by the Bay.”

As Latin America completes its second decade of neoliberal reforms, Pellegrino A. Luciano takes readers on an ethnographic journey back to a moment of monumental social and economic change in Peru. In Neoliberal Reform in Machu Picchu, Luciano describes the privatization struggles and challenges of people living in the district of Machu Picchu, a heritage area and tourism destination, during the early 2000s. This Incan citadel became central to the Peruvian government’s neoliberal policies and efforts to project a new global image and attract foreign capital. Luciano analyzes the role of middle-class actors in consequence, resistance, and accommodation to these neoliberal changes. This book is recommended for scholars of anthropology, political science, economics, tourism studies, and history.

The essential, “richly researched”* biography of Harriet Tubman, revealing a complex woman who “led a remarkable life, one that her race, her sex, and her origins make all the more extraordinary” (*The New York Times Book Review). Harriet Tubman is one of the giants of American history—a fearless visionary who led scores of her fellow slaves to freedom and battled courageously behind enemy lines during the Civil War. Now, in this magnificent biography, historian Kate Clifford Larson gives us a powerful, intimate, meticulously detailed portrait of Tubman and her times. Drawing from a trove of new documents and sources as well as extensive genealogical data, Larson presents Harriet Tubman as a complete human being—brilliant, shrewd, deeply religious, and passionate in her pursuit of freedom. A true American hero, Tubman was also a woman who loved, suffered, and sacrificed. Praise for Bound for the Promised Land “[Bound for the Promised Land] appropriately reads like fiction, for Tubman’s exploits required such intelligence, physical stamina and pure fearlessness that only a very few would have even contemplated the feats that she actually undertook. . . . Larson captures Tubman’s determination and seeming imperviousness to pain and suffering, coupled with an extraordinary selflessness and caring for others.”—The Seattle Times “Essential for those interested in Tubman and her causes . . . Larson does an especially thorough job of . . . uncovering relevant documents, some of them long hidden by history and neglect.”—The Plain Dealer “Larson has captured Harriet Tubman’s clandestine nature . . . reading Ms. Larson made me wonder if Tubman is not, in fact, the greatest spy this country has ever produced.”—The New York Sun
