Scottish-born American geologist David Dale Owen conducted the first geological surveys of Wisconsin, Iowa, Minnesota, and other parts of the Upper Midwest. He was appointed as a U.S. geologist in 1839 and led federal surveys of the Upper Midwest intermittently from 1839 to 1851. His Report of a Geological Survey of Wisconsin, Iowa, and Minnesota; and Incidentally of a Portion of Nebraska Territory, published in Philadelphia by Lippincott, Grambo & Co. in 1852, greatly increased the general knowledge and understanding of the structural geology, paleontology, natural history, and mineral wealth of the Midwestern states. The report includes 27 steel-engraved plates and 21 maps and geological charts.

Although Owen led the expeditions, he was joined on the survey and in the writing of the reports by fellow geologists Joseph Granville Norwood, Charles W. Whittlesey, B. F. Shumard, paleontologist Joseph Leidy, botanist C. C. Parry, and naturalist Henty Pratten. Interestingly, David Dale Owen was the son of the Welsh utopian socialist Robert Owen who helped establish the utopian community of New Harmony, Indiana. David Dale Owen himself made New Harmony the headquarters of the U.S. Geological Survey until 1856, where he also amassed an extensive personal collection of natural history specimens, as well as a geological laboratory and museum.

From the #1 New York Times bestselling co-author of Five Feet Apart comes a gripping new romance, perfect for fans of The Perks of Being a Wallflower and Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda. Emily and her mum were always lucky. But Emily’s mum’s luck ran out three years ago when she succumbed to cancer, and nothing has felt right since. Now, the summer before her senior year, things are worse than ever – Emily has wrecked things with her boyfriend, Matt, and her dad is selling the house she grew up in and giving her mum’s belongings away. The only person she has to talk to is Blake, a girl she barely knows since she and her dad moved back to town five seconds ago. But that’s when Emily finds the list – her mum’s senior year summer bucket list – buried in the back of her closet. When Blake suggests that Emily take it on as a challenge, the two set off on a journey to tick each box and help Emily face her fears over losing her connection to her mum. As she starts to feel closer to her mother, so too does Emily’s bond with Blake deepen into something she wasn't expecting. And suddenly Emily must face another fear: accepting the secret part of herself she never got a chance to share with the person who knew her best. A captivating, heartfelt love story about learning who you are, and who you love, when the person you’ve always shared yourself with is gone.

We all have different ideas about 'why we ride' adventure bikes. For some, it's the challenge of making it through an ordeal, feeling the freedom you can go anywhere, getting away from it all, just connecting with nature, or maybe all of the above... What's your top reason?
