Pages : 258
Book Description
We meet him late in life: a quiet man, a good father and husband, a fixture in his Brooklyn neighborhood, a landlord and barber with a terrifying scar across his face. As the book unfolds, moving seamlessly between Haiti in the 1960s and New York City today, we enter the lives of those around him, and learn that he has also kept a vital, dangerous secret.

Next of Kin Next Door

Languages : en
Pages : 304
Book Description
We need a radically new approach to Sasquatch research. For much too long, we have stereotyped our next of kin, certain that they must confine themselves only to the most remote wilderness, occasionally sneaking up to campsites just long enough to scare the hell out of us before withdrawing once again to the far corners of the forest. Incorrect. Increasingly, evidence is pointing a different way, toward an intimate proximity between our two species. Until we can demystify Sasquatch, know them as a fellow human species, and begin to get a handle on their fascinating behavior and intellectual gifts, they will remain abstract "monsters" seen through the wrong end of a telescope. What if they are not, after all, too far away for us to see-what if they are too close?

Book Description
***If you own IMPOSSIBLE VISITS or SASQUATCH RISING 2013, please don't buy this book. The material in OUR LIFE WITH BIGFOOT is contained in those earlier books but is being offered now in this streamlined, very affordable edition so that more readers may learn about habituation sites. Given the high level of threat faced by this kindred species today, it is vital that we all wake up to their presence, their nature, and their need for protection. Please visit Facebook/STOP Shooting Bigfoot.*** ________________________________________________________________________________ The uncanny humanness of Sasquatch has emerged at "habituation sites" throughout North America. These are places with which members of this primate species have become familiar, returning regularly, often for years or generations. In the peaceful, inquisitive spirit of Jane Goodall and Dian Fossey, certain people have interacted with these visitors, seeking to learn their nature and behavior, to gradually reduce their ancient fear of us...and ours of them. OUR LIFE WITH BIGFOOT takes the reader behind the scenes to experience interactions at six such sites in Iowa, New York State, North Carolina, Oklahoma, and Texas, revealing the subtle intelligence of our partners in this strange inter-species dance. Yet, today the Sasquatch race stands in dire jeopardy, as men (inspired by Rick Dyer) seek to hunt and slaughter it. By paying close attention to the meaning of habituation sites--and quickly spreading the word about who these neighbors truly are--we can work to prevent a genocide, correcting the image of Sasquatch as a "monster" to be slain.

Engineering Eden
Author: Jordan Fisher Smith
Publisher: Crown
ISBN: 0307454266
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 394
Book Description
The fascinating story of a trial that opened a window onto the century-long battle to control nature in the national parks. When twenty-five-year-old Harry Walker was killed by a bear in Yellowstone Park in 1972, the civil trial prompted by his death became a proxy for bigger questions about American wilderness management that had been boiling for a century. At immediate issue was whether the Park Service should have done more to keep bears away from humans, but what was revealed as the trial unfolded was just how fruitless our efforts to regulate nature in the parks had always been. The proceedings drew to the witness stand some of the most important figures in twentieth century wilderness management, including the eminent zoologist A. Starker Leopold, who had produced a landmark conservationist document in the 1950s, and all-American twin researchers John and Frank Craighead, who ran groundbreaking bear studies at Yellowstone. Their testimony would help decide whether the government owed the Walker family restitution for Harry's death, but it would also illuminate decades of patchwork efforts to preserve an idea of nature that had never existed in the first place. In this remarkable excavation of American environmental history, nature writer and former park ranger Jordan Fisher Smith uses Harry Walker's story to tell the larger narrative of the futile, sometimes fatal, attempts to remake wilderness in the name of preserving it. Tracing a course from the founding of the national parks through the tangled twentieth-century growth of the conservationist movement, Smith gives the lie to the portrayal of national parks as Edenic wonderlands unspoiled until the arrival of Europeans, and shows how virtually every attempt to manage nature in the parks has only created cascading effects that require even more management. Moving across time and between Yellowstone, Yosemite, and Glacier national parks, Engineering Eden shows how efforts at wilderness management have always been undone by one fundamental problem--that the idea of what is "wild" dissolves as soon as we begin to examine it, leaving us with little framework to say what wilderness should look like and which human interventions are acceptable in trying to preserve it. In the tradition of John McPhee's The Control of Nature and Alan Burdick's Out of Eden, Jordan Fisher Smith has produced a powerful work of popular science and environmental history, grappling with critical issues that we have even now yet to resolve.
