Legend has it that hoards of treasures, which are part of the Japanese Imperial Army's loot from various temples and museums of Asia that date back to the Old Word were stocked by the Japanese in Fort Santiago, Manila during the last year of Word War II or in 1945. The treasures came from Old Babylon, the temples of India and Southeast Asia. Fearing confiscation by the British forces that were controlling China if they transport it by land, the precious loot was shipped by the Japanese from Singapore to the Philippines by commandeering civilian merchant vessels. Sometime in July 1944, after crossing the Sulu Sea and the West Philippine Sea the said ships unloaded treasures at the Port of Manila. When the Japanese forces were already certain of their defeat in the Philippines, they chose to retreat towards the mountain ranges of the Gran Cordillera taking with them their looted treasure. They used the rugged and seldom used trail going to Bessang Pass at Cervantes, Ilocos Sur and planned to cross the mountains and escape through the Pacific Ocean using the natural port of Palanan at the eastern tip of the Province of Isabela.

An exploration of trees in the Golden Horseshoe and the stories they tell. Trees define so much of Canadian life, but many people, particularly in the Golden Horseshoe area of Ontario, don’t know that much about them. Granted, it is harder here: there are more trees that are native to this area than anywhere else in Canada. The great storytellers of the landscape, trees are looking glasses into the past. They speak of biology, ecology, and geology, as well as natural and human history. Through a greater understanding of trees, we can become more rooted to the land beneath our feet, and our place in it.

Finalist for the 2016 Foreword INDIES Book of the Year Award in the Sports category Have you ever considered running 350 miles in nine days? Kenneth A. Posner did just that when he completed a record-setting run along New York's Long Path, a 350-mile hiking trail that stretches from New York City to Albany. Running the Long Path's page-turning narrative combines the thrill and challenges of Posner's extreme endurance feat with the stunning natural beauty and deep historical significance of New York's Hudson Valley. A one-time casual runner, Posner shares his excitement of developing into a trail-runner and eventually an ultrarunner, as well as the pursuit of a "fastest known time"—a new dimension of extreme trail running, where some of the sport's fastest and most experienced athletes vie to set new speed records for important trails. Hikers, walkers, and runners will appreciate his detailed descriptions of planning, pacing, gear selection, nutrition, hydration, and navigation, which will help them prepare for their own adventures on the trails. Interspersed with the running adventure, Posner relates the interesting stories of the Long Path and the places it passes through, which include some of New York's most important parks and preserves and the distinctive mountains and forests they protect. Throughout the book, he channels the voices of famous New Yorkers associated with the Long Path—Walt Whitman, John Burroughs, Theodore Roosevelt, and Raymond Torrey—who express their appreciation of the natural beauty of the region. Running the Long Path is the story of what ordinary people can accomplish with a little determination and a lot of grit. Whether you walk or run, you will find inspiration in Posner's tale.
