    af Garrett Fisher
    237,95 kr.

    There is quite possibly only one place where not only can a person see wild horses on the beach, one can share a home with them. The Northern Outer Banks of North Carolina contain a majestic wild horse herd that lives on a barrier island sandwiched between the Currituck Sound, the Atlantic Ocean, and undeveloped False Cape State Park, Virginia. Literally at the end of the road, North Carolina highway 12 becomes the beach, embarking on a thirteen-mile journey of sand roads, houses, and wild horses. The author spent five months living inside the horse preserve, intent on photographing the horses in their natural state, sharing them for all to enjoy. Containing 103 images, the book captures these magnificent creatures being themselves alongside the Atlantic Ocean, stirring the wild horse in all of us.

  • - Flying the Outer Banks

    A place like no other in the United States, the Outer Banks of North Carolina are an ever-changing swirl of sand, ocean, currents, and sounds, an almost mystical series of barrier islands sticking out so far that the mainland cannot be seen. When the author first visited this place, he had an immediate attraction that grew even more when he flew his antique airplane down the length of the islands in 2011. Finding that there is more to be seen of the Outer Banks than most people realize, Garrett Fisher dragged his airplane out to the coast for almost six months, regularly flying the length of the Outer Banks to capture what he soon learned is an ever-changing tapestry of colors, capes, sand patterns, currents, and tidal flows, a place of near infinite variety on a daily basis. Intent on showing readers the part of the Outer Banks that they will not see from the ground, the book contains 99 images and detailed maps of photograph locations from Shackleford Banks to Virginia.

  • - Flying the Highest Peaks of the South

    297,95 kr.

    Home to the highest terrain in the eastern half of North America, North Carolina not only contains the highest summit on this side of the continent, Mt. Mitchell (6,684'), it shares a list of 40 peaks exceeding 6,000' in elevation with neighboring Tennessee. Although these mountains exceed in height the entire surface of the eastern half of the United States, many of the peaks are shrouded in majestic Canadian pine forests, with views curiously lacking. An avid hiker and high altitude enthusiast, the author found that hiking the high terrain wasn't enough; he wanted to see it from above. Author of a book doing the same for the 58 peaks over 14,000 feet in Colorado, Garrett Fisher took his high flying expertise and brought it to the Southeast, showing the stunning beauty of the Appalachians from above them, all using a 1949 Piper PA-11 antique airplane. Containing detailed maps and 80 images, the book contains images of every single peak over 6,000' and is both a guide for mountain enthusiasts and a pleasant journey among giants for everyone else.

    Stretching almost 500 miles, the Blue Ridge Parkway is a work of art in itself, a road passing through the highest terrain in the Southeast and snaking along the Blue Ridge Mountains. Sandwiched on both sides by national parks with their own scenic highways, the author found that his personal passion for these parkways couldn't be contained by driving them alone. Called by stunning views and aggressive terrain, Garrett Fisher flew his 1949 Piper PA-11 from Gatlinburg, TN to Front Royal, VA photographing the Parkway from above. Intent on capturing the true essence of the foreboding terrain surrounding the Parkway, the author battled menacing cloud formations and wind on multiple flights to capture scenes that best represent the experience: mystical, stunning, majestic, and beautiful. Containing detailed maps and 83 images, the book is a journey from the air of the Blue Ridge Parkway, US 441 in Great Smoky Mountains National Park, Skyline Drive in Shenandoah National Park, and Cherohala Skyway in southwest North Carolina.

    The birthplace of the Colorado River is not one place in the Colorado Mountains; it is half of the mountains in the state, steep unforgiving alpine terrain with majestic amounts of snow. Largely off limits except to the most adventurous, the author set out to bring the source of one of the most controversial water sources in the country to anyone who wants to see it. Containing 95 images, the book is an aerial photography documentation of the Upper Colorado, Roaring Fork, Blue, Gunnison, Eagle, Yampa, and Uncompaghre River Basins as well as the mountain ranges that feed them, in stunning detail and beauty, all taken from an antique aircraft during the Colorado spring melt. Containing 7 river basin maps with detailed information and locations of photographs, the book is a useful resource for those doing research and also a work of art simply to be enjoyed. The author also scales a 13,000 foot mountain on foot to show how melt water rapidly descends almost 4,000 feet from the peak to become part of the river system and into the Colorado itself.

  • - Fall in Colorado
    af Garrett Fisher

    Extreme Autumn: Fall in Colorado is an energetic rendition of what is otherwise a serene season. Forget gentle ponds with floating leaves. Toss the countryside red barn and maple tree out the door. And don't even think about that orange maple tree gracing a burial preplanning pamphlet. This is autumn Colorado Rockies style: high altitude, extreme, dangerous, and thought-provoking.Focusing on areas above 8,000 feet, the book delivers autumn from a plethora of angles: steep mountainsides, high-altitude lake shores, under full moon, river beds, in the snow, and best of all: from above with an airplane. There is nothing ordinary about fall here - it is filled with contrast at every turn - gentle and harsh, warm and cold, summery and in the snow. Some aspen stands nurse forest wildlife, other trees are a stubborn symbol of defiance growing on top of a rock glacier.Containing over 80 images, the book is an excellent way to enjoy all that autumn in Colorado has to offer without risking your life.

    In this groundbreaking work on economics and sociology, Garrett Fisher upends our conventional viewpoints on money, markets, and society in general.By taking an innovative approach to the origin of monetary economies, the very nature of what we assume about money is questioned and turned upside down. Further, a system of human motivators that drives our marketplaces is shown to be deeper than economics itself and surprisingly constant. For wage earners and CEOs alike, this work challenges our perspectives of success and lays out a blueprint of how to achieve maximum market relevance and longevity.
