The third volume in the Vintage St. Pete series takes another long, loving, deeply nostalgic look at life in Florida's fastest-growing city before the dawn of the twenty-first century. These lavishly-illustrated stories will strike a chord with anyone who's ever called St. Petersburg, or Pinellas County, home. Here are the cherished traditions and legends: The annual Festival of States parade, fancy dinners at the world-famous Kapok Tree Inn and one-of-a-kind casual restaurants The Penguin and Ted Peters Famous Smoked Fish. Hometown heroes like organ-playing comedian Lenny Dee, beloved newspaper columnist Dick Bothwell and Tom Reese, the eccentric master of ceremonies at the uber-bohemian Beaux Arts Gallery; media icons Salty Sol, Ernie Lee, Shock Armstrong and the rest of the "WTVT Big 13" gang (the top-rated local TV station for 25 years). The whole historic saga of Tarpon Springs, once the world's sponge-diving capital; behind the scenes of Dolphin Tale, Spring Breakers, The Strange One and other Hollywood movies filmed in town ... so much rich, entertaining local history you won't read about anywhere else, in 25 all-new chapters!

Zwischen Oldenburg und Osnabrück, ­zwi­schen Cloppenburg und Wildeshausen, liegt ein be­sonderes, vielen unbekanntes Fleckchen Erde: Die ­Naturschutzgebiete ­"Ahlhorner ­Fischteiche" und "Urwald Baumweg" sind ein Naturerbe von großer ökologischer ­Bedeutung und mit hohem Schutzstatus. Nordwestlich des Autobahndreiecks Ahlhorner Heide erstreckt sich das etwa 2.400 Hektar große Gebiet mit Naturschutzzonen, einem ökologisch bedeutsamen Hudewald und vielen Teichanlagen in einem Gelände, das zum Wandern einlädt und zum Staunen über die Vielfalt der Natur. Das vom Forstamt Ahlhorn der Niedersächsischen Landesforsten betreute Gebiet der Ahlhorner Fischteiche ist ein Schatz abseits der großen ­städtischen Zentren und unseres hektischen Alltags. Es steht für eine Jahrhunderte alte Kultur der Hege und Pflege eines einzigartigen Naturerbes.
