special coastal issue
may - july 1998


w e l c o m e to News Bytes, an online newsletter featuring the books and authors of UNC Press. This issue, join us on a visit to North Carolina's coast. While travel writer Glenn Morris offers ten offbeat ways to amuse yourself at the bea ch, marine scientist Dirk Frankenberg provides an eco-minded tour of the natural areas of the Outer Banks and the Southern coast . . . David Stick's new Outer Banks Reader gives us a firsthand look at the Wright Brothers' first flight at Kitty Hawk . . . Revisit the Sound Country with Bland Simpson . . . Cook up your catch of rockfish in a traditional stew called muddle . . . Make a sprightly bell pepper relish to remind you of summer long into the cool months.

You'll also find a complete list of UNC Press books about the coast, from nature, travel, and architectural guides to David Stick's popular histories and our favorite book for young adults, Taffy of Torpedo Junction.
Look for news about the Press, our books, and our authors: awards won, bookstore events featuring UNC Press authors, and excerpts from reviews.

Just a reminder: all books mentioned here are available at bookstores, including online booksellers. You can also order directly from UNC Press. Call 1-800-848-6224. Say you saw it on our website.

We hope this issue of News Bytes inspires you to head to the beach--for a day, a week, or a month. Have a great vacation, and don't forget to bring some beach reading!
