Linville Gorge is one of the few examples of old-growth forest in the Blue Ridge Mountains and draws thousands of visitors every year. The Gorge was approved by Congress in 1964. "The Grand Canyon of the East" was named for William Linville, a member of a party of long hunters in 1766 who fell victim to a Shawnee attack. The difficult terrain made early settlements nearly impossible and logging unprofitable. Unique rock formations, from Table Rock to the Chimneys, and miles of trails attract thousands of climbers, hikers and adventure seekers each year. In this revised edition, author Christopher Blake draws on American colonial reports, travel writings, diaries, fiction and numerous archival records to weave a narrative fabric of an American treasure.

The Linville Gorge Wilderness Area, known for its striking landscape and rich history, spans over 12,000 acres in the Blue Ridge Mountains. The Linville River, referred to as Eeseeoh by Native Americans, winds through dramatic cliffs and peaks. This area has a storied past, marked by events like the 1766 ambush of the William Linville hunting party, and has attracted attention for both its beauty and incidents, including movie shoots and accidents. Historic photographs since the 1870s connect past adventurers with today's nature lovers, revealing the gorge's enduring allure.

Christopher Blake trägt mit seiner Arbeit dazu bei, umfassender und tiefgehender als bisher verstehen zu können, warum Bilder von Frauen in den Medien die Körperzufriedenheit ihrer Betrachterinnen beeinflussen können. Um die Ursachen der Wirkungen zu rekonstruieren, werden ausgewählte kommunikationswissenschaftliche, sozialpsychologische und medienpsychologische Ansätze in einem Erklärungsrahmen auf Basis der Selbstdiskrepanztheorie integriert. Dieser erlaubt die zusammenhängende Erklärung der teils widersprüchlich anmutenden empirischen Forschungsergebnisse, die zu den Wirkungen medialer Körperdarstellungen auf die Körperzufriedenheit existieren. Der Erklärungsrahmen wird im Hinblick auf seinen Beitrag zur Weiterentwicklung des Forschungsfeldes diskutiert.
