Ohio—a bland and ordinary Midwestern state, right? Ha! You must never get off the highway. The Buckeye State has no shortage of strange, silly, goofy, quirky, eccentric, and just plain weird people, places, and things—if you know where to look.And no one has looked in more places for Ohio’s oddities than Neil Zurcher, the popular Fox8 TV travel reporter who makes his living on the road seeking out unusual destinations. This book collects the most remarkable things he’s found in and about the Buckeye State, including:
Mysteries. Like the “bottomless” Blue Hole of Castalia and Ashtabula’s famed Headless Chicken—who lived without a noggin for 38 days.
Big things. Like the World’s Largest . . . Crystal Ball . . . Gathering of Twins . . . Easter Basket . . . Cuckoo Clock . . .
Peculiar claims to fame. Like the “Oldest concrete road in America,” the “World’s fastest pumpkin carver.”
Strange collections. Like the Objects Swallowed by Citizens of Lima; the nation’s only vacuum cleaner museum; and the world’s largest collection of popcorn poppers and peanut roasters.
Notable citizens. Like Balto the Wonder dog, cheesemaking firewalker Komar the Magnificent, and Buckeye Chuck, the weather rodent.
And the just-hard-to-explain. Like the Wellington ATM shaped like a Victorian horse and buggy or Ohio’s strange attachment to the bathtub from the U.S.S. Maine.

"I read someplace that takeoffs and landings are the most dangerous part...."
After Chuck and Lori's father died in a tractor accident, their mother unexpectedly found a career as a motivational speaker. Since then, Mom has spent most of her time flying across the country for speaking engagements, leaving Chuck and Lori behind with their three younger siblings on their grandparents' Ohio farm.
Eight years after the accident, Chuck and Lori barely know their mother anymore, much less themselves: Chuck is perpetually self-conscious and awkward, while Lori can barely hide her resentment of her mother's absence. Now Mom is going on another speaking tour. But this trip is different: Chuck and Lori are coming with her.
As soon as their first plane takes off, Chuck and Lori start the painful process of reconnecting with Mom. Through an emotional two weeks of flying around the country, the taboo subject of Dad's accident is finally broached, and all three begin to understand themselves and one another in ways that they had not expected. By the final landing back in Ohio, it is clear that none of them will ever be the same.
Award-winning author Margaret Peterson Haddix delivers another tour de force in which the examination of a family in turmoil resonates with truth. Takeoffs and landings may be the most dangerous parts of a trip, but as Mom says, they can also be the best

A lot of hiking can be found in a state as diverse and as committed to preserving its natural heritage as Ohio. In an extensive system of state parks, wildlife areas, natural preserves, and historic sites - not to mention the state-long Buckeye Trail - you will find trails that follow old wagon roads, primitive game paths, and abandoned railroad beds. The 50 hikes in this guide are grouped geographically and range over the entire state, from the rugged Appalachian plateau of Shawnee Forest in the south to the Ottawa Wildlife Refuge on the shores of Lake Erie. Even if you live in one of Ohio's major metropolitan areas, there's a hike just a short drive away. There are outings for every ability, from easy walks to rigorous overnight backpacks. Each hike write-up includes: trail access and parking information; route distance and hiking time; a contour map; and mile-by-mile directions. In addition, the author's commentary on plants and animals, geology and local history makes each hike a way to learn something new about a diverse and compelling region.

Ohio's bedrock reveals a rich story of the ancient landscapes and animals-foot-long clams, massive meat-eating reptiles, lumbering mammoths-that existed thousands to hundreds of millions of years ago. Fluctuating seas full of marine life, widespread floodplains and rivers choked with sediment, and mile-thick ice sheets from the north all shaped Ohio's present landscape. The 25 road guides of Roadside Geology of Ohio, complete with 59 maps and figures and 172 photographs, lead you from one corner of the state to the other-from the flat till plains of the west to the hilly eastern Allegheny Plateau, and from the Ohio River valley to the Lake Erie shoreline. Mark Camp's clear writing explains how caverns and disappearing streams form in karst; why mud cracks, ripple marks, and cross-bedding layers are entombed in sedimentary rock; and how grooves up to 10 feet deep were gouged into the limestone of Kelleys Island. From deserted boomtowns to Ohio's big cities, Roadside Geology of Ohio thoroughly reveals the Buckeye State's fascinating and dynamic geology.

The name ""Ohio"" is based on an Iroquois word for ""good river."" With more than 44,000 square miles of water, including eleven river systems, there’s no doubt that Ohio has been defined by nature. "Our Ohio" is a pictorial celebration that showcases this state’s stunning vistas, offering a glimpse into what makes the region unique. From the vastness of Lake Erie and the historic lighthouses that hold sentry along the lakeshore to the rushing waterfalls and sandstone cliffs of the Appalachian foothills; from historic Clifton Mill and the rolling farmlands and horse-drawn buggies of Amish country to the Toledo Botanical Gardens and the birthplaces of Thomas Edison and Ulysses S. Grant; from the Rock n’ Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland to the charming art deco architecture of downtown Cincinnati, "Our Ohio" celebrates the natural, historical, and cultural aspects of the Buckeye State. About the Photographer: Ian Adams is an environmental photographer based in Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio, specializing in natural, rural, historical, and garden photography.
