Camping with the Prince and Other Tales of Science in Africa by Thomas A Bass

Jeff Vinter, previous chairman of Railway Ramblers and consultant on the BC's Railway Walks series, guides the walker along 10 of the best railway paths in the South of England, ranging from the Plym Valley Railway Path and Cycle Route on the southern slopes of Dartmoor to the densely-wooded tracks of the Forest of Dean, and taking the Downs Link across the rolling countryside of West Sussex and Surrey, and the Camel Trail in Cornwall. The detailed description of each walk includes OS grid references, helpful maps and illustrations, and comprehensive information about transport and refreshment facilities. For those walkers who wish to explore more, further walks, preserved railways, and museums are suggested which shed light on the area's industrial past. The armchair walker is also catered for, with each chapter being prefaced with a full historical description of the line and a resume of its regeneration after closure. Together with Railway Walks: GWR & SR, all you need are a map and a pair of stout boots--and some reasonable weather--in order to enjoy this fascinating and rather different aspect of the English countryside.

Tom Bass coached with three NFL teams over a span of nearly 30 years. With the Cincinnati Bengals, Tampa Bay Buccaneers, and San Diego Chargers he served as a defensive coordinator and assistant coach on both offense and defense, and he held front-office roles of vice president of public relations and director of player personnel. Before his move to the NFL, he enjoyed six successful years of college coaching at San Jose State University and San Diego State.

Bass is also recognized as a premier clinician throughout the world. He conducts on-site technical football coaching clinics for football coaches from major colleges and universities as well as for youth, high school, junior college, and international coaches of American football. His football savvy is showcased in many venues: In-Depth clinics on his Web site www.CoachBass.com, his Ask the Coach column on NFLhs.com, at Tom Bass Football Seminars for Women Only, and through successful Coach Bass Sports Maps for NFL and college football.

As an ambassador of the game, Bass has served as president of the Canadian Football League team, the Sacramento Goldminers, and was on the board of directors for the International Football Federation of American football, which covers four continents and 23 countries. Major corporations such as IBM, Coca-Cola, and Anheuser-Busch have hired him for his speaking talents, and he has been the featured guest on numerous sports talk and interview shows on radio and television, including HBO, ABC Nightly News, and ESPN.

Tom and his wife, Michelle, live in Carlsbad, California.
