Book Description
A collection of 43 short stories recounting the adventures for some of the most outstanding native North American big game trophies ever take. All of the stories were handpicked for the special way in which each hunter captured the essence of their hunting experiences, including their tenacity, their ethics, and their respect for the game hunted. You will feel the emotion, dedication, and excitement as you enjoy the stories of those men and women who have taken these outstanding trophies. You will read the story of a bowhunter and of the meticulous preparation and tactics that resulted in his taking of an oustanding bull elk, and most importantly, you will see each of these hunters embraced the concept of fair chase, and for that they should be applauded.

Book Description
The year is 1812, Europe is being torn up by the wars against Napoleon, the navies of independent America and Britain are harassing each other in the North Atlantic, and construction of the Breakwater – the Nations Great Endeavour – has begun in Plymouth Sound. But the Grey, the secret group that protects Plymouth from paranormal threats, have more important issues to deal with. One of which concerns a blue door, and the other has lots of tentacles and a bad attitude. Alan, the leader of the Grey, has given the task of training the Kraken to the Grey’s newest members – Horace (Mr Edwards) and Eugenie (Miss Hall). Unfortunately things aren’t going to plan. When a body washes up on the shore sparking fears of a murderer on the loose in Plymouth it becomes a race against time for the Grey to deal with the monster before it kills again. Or will they run out of chocolate first?

Book Description
Of the many themes occurring in young adult literature, one that bears more extensive exploration is the adolescent-animal connection. Although substantial critical commentary has addressed children's animal stories and animals in adult fiction, very few studies have been devoted to adolescent-animal encounters. In Animals in Young Adult Fiction, Walter Hogan examines several hundred novels and stories to explore the ways in which animals are represented in these works. In additional to providing an historical survey, Hogan looks at both realistic fiction and speculative works, including fantasy, supernatural, horror, and science fiction. Hogan reviews stories that feature wild animal encounters, stories centered on relationships with horses, dogs, and other working and performing animals, and those featuring relationships with pets. Drawing upon established scholarship, this book examines human-animal relationships from multiple angles, making it an invaluable resource for librarians, teachers, and students of children's and young adult literature.

Book Description
Richard L. Proenneke--a modern-day Henry David Thoreau--built a cabin in Twin Lakes, Alaska, during the spring of 1968, sparking thirty years of personal growth in which he spent the majority of his time strengthening his relationship with the wilderness around him. Following in the footsteps of One Man's Wilderness, a classic book compiling some of the mountain man's journals, More Readings from One Man's Wilderness chronicles Proenneke's experiences with animals, the elements, park visitors, and observations he made while hiking in Lake Clark National Park and Preserve. A master woodcraftsman, a mechanical genius, a tireless hiker with a keen eye, and a journalist, Proenneke's life at Twin Lakes has inspired thousands of readers for decades. Editor John Branson--a longtime friend of Proenneke's and a park historian--ensures that Proenneke's journals from 1974-1980 are kept entirely intact. His colloquial writing is not changed or altered, but Branson's footnotes make his world more approachable by providing a background for names and places that may have otherwise been unknown. Any reader with a love for conservation and true-life wilderness narratives will undoubtedly admire and relish Proenneke's tales of living in the wild.
