Book Description
What exactly does a wildlife biologist for a state agency do? Contrary to many of his relative's perceptions, David Kocka is not a park ranger, a forest ranger, or even a game warden. Bear With Me, My Deer: Tails of a Virginia Wildlife Biologist is a glimpse into one man's adventures while working for an agency, which is responsible for managing the wildlife resources within its boundaries. The sometimes-humorous accounts have taken David to the top of a parking garage while chasing a black bear and to the middle of a college campus to extract a hormone-driven deer from a building. Although he has avoided news agencies as much as possible, one of his adventures was summarized in People Magazine. Most biologists have similar stories to share, but David in Bear With Me, My Deer: Tails of a Virginia Wildlife Biologist gives an account of his adventures in the field, documenting how they can occur any time, day or night. Humor is an important tool, which he yields almost as often as he uses his dart pistol. Through his thirty years as a wildlife biologist, David has met many interesting people too-and some have become lifelong friends. Set in the beautiful Shenandoah Valley of Virginia, these true stories enable the reader to enjoy each wildlife encounter and hopefully allow them to connect with the outdoors like never before.

Book Description
This book presents memoirs of over forty years of hunting, camping and outdoor experiences at a remote rustic cabin located in a rugged area of Pennsylvania known as Kinzua Country. This cabin is located along a dirt logging road many miles from the main highway deep inside the Allegheny National Forest in Mckean County near the Kinzua Dam and Reservoir. The first section of this book recounts how a black bear interrupted the hunt of a large six point buck. The second section is about two young outdoorsmen using their skills honed from the Pennsylvania woods to venture deep into a much different type of wilderness for a moose hunt in a mountain region of Alaska. The third section focuses on the camp activities of the remote hunting camp in the Kinzua forest. The remaining sections involve hunting turkey, deer, bear and snow shoe rabbit. Anyone who has ever enjoyed roaming in the Pennsylvania forest absorbing all of its natural wonder will be captivated by reading this book.

Book Description
From National Book Award in Fiction finalist Andrew Krivak comes a gorgeous fable of Earth’s last two human inhabitants, and a girl’s journey home In an Edenic future, a girl and her father live close to the land in the shadow of a lone mountain. They possess a few remnants of civilization: some books, a pane of glass, a set of flint and steel, a comb. The father teaches the girl how to fish and hunt, the secrets of the seasons and the stars. He is preparing her for an adulthood in harmony with nature, for they are the last of humankind. But when the girl finds herself alone in an unknown landscape, it is a bear that will lead her back home through a vast wilderness that offers the greatest lessons of all, if she can only learn to listen. A cautionary tale of human fragility, of love and loss, The Bear is a stunning tribute to the beauty of nature’s dominion. Andrew Krivak is the author of two previous novels: The Signal Flame, a Chautauqua Prize finalist, and The Sojourn, a National Book Award finalist and winner of both the Chautauqua Prize and Dayton Literary Peace Prize. He lives with his wife and three children in Somerville, Massachusetts, and Jaffrey, New Hampshire, in the shadow of Mount Monadnock, which inspired much of the landscape in The Bear.
