A former Washington Post reporter and editor and author of Maryland Lost and Found . . . Again, Meyer has made the Chesapeake his beat for the last four decades. In 1990, working with award-winning photographer Lucian Niemeyer, he published his classic Chesapeake Country, a rich and informative visual history of the Bay. Now updated, the book tracks the region from its first indigenous populations through its colonial past and into the uncertain present of climate change. (Abbeville)
