Book Description
In a small town in Western Pennsylvania in 1981, six teenagers accept a dare to camp out one night in the woods to prove that a local legend called the Sheep Man doesn't exist. This mythical figure is supposedly a crazed man that has lived in the woods for years eating farmers' sheep, pigs and pets. Most of the townsfolk say it's simply untrue, but some believe it. The boys come face to face with the difference between truth and legend. They also discover that some things are better left unknown.

Book Description
Ed Ueeck's (eek) life in Alaska would earn him several titles such as Master Trapper, Sourdough, and The Man from Sheep Mountain. Arriving in 1929 with just change in his pocket, Ed never looked back. Matanuska Valley's snow-capped mountains only strengthened his resolve to make it on his own. Within a year, Ed purchased a remote 80-mile trap line which circumvented Sheep Mountain and was running the trap line on showshoes by himself. Any small mistake on the trap line could cost him his life with no one to come to his rescue. Once, a wolverine he'd trapped came to life as Ed carried it over his shoulder. Quickly emptying his trusty 30-06 into the angry wolverine, Ed narrowly diverted disaster. From having one of his cabins burn to the ground in mid winter to a near shootout with a trap line jumper, Ed's story is a fascination window into the life of one of Alaska's true pioneers.

Book Description
Originally published in 1975. In Mountain Sheep and Man in the Northern Wilds Valerius Geist, a renowned scientist, sensitive observer, and natural storyteller here recounts his experiences among, and reflections upon, the magnificent bighorned sheep of the Canadian wilderness, where he lived and worked year 'round. The book presents popular science in the best sense -- beautifully written, unmistakably accurate, innovative and thought provoking. In the book, Dr. Geist focuses on cold climates to study animal behavior and its implications for man. He makes valuable contributions to our knowledge about aggression and dominance and offers new insights into the impact of ecological factors upon the anatomy, physiology and behavior of man as well as beast. He looks critically at the role of early and modern man as hunter and tells delightful stories about his own adventures in working with big-game animals. His splendid photographs capture his enthusiasm for the land and the sheep. Finally, he ponders the lessons that urban man can learn from zoological theory so that he may better live within his ecological means. "To the names Fraser Darling, Murie, Schaller, Carpenter and Goodall must now be added Geist." Science "This book is about wilderness, animals and people. These subjects are woven together in a way that will curl your toes. Geist is an excellent writer; he has a probing mind a tempered wit and an ability to convey a total experience. Be sure to read this one." Frontiers. "Geist writes surpassingly well." Canadian Field Naturalist "This is a very well written book that will intrigue the most ingenious thinker. It reflects originality and provides accurate and interesting reading to anyone interested in wild animals." Journal of Wildlife Management "This book is immensely thought provoking." Mammal Review Valerius Geist is a graduate of the University of British Columbia, where he also received his Ph.D. He is professor emeritus of environmental science at the University of Calgary.

Book Description
A New York Times bestselling author—and “a mythmaker for the millennium, a wiseacre wiseman” (New York Times Book Review)—delivers a surreal and elaborate quest that takes readers from Tokyo to the remote mountains of northern Japan, where the unnamed protagonist has a surprising confrontation with his demons. An advertising executive receives a postcard from a friend and casually appropriates the image for an advertisement. What he doesn’t realize is that included in the scene is a mutant sheep with a star on its back, and in using this photo he has unwittingly captured the attention of a man who offers a menacing ultimatum: find the sheep or face dire consequences.

Book Description
"American Sheep introduces the "remarkable story" of how sheep helped shape American history from the colonial era through the early twentieth century. By introducing the readers to a cast of characters-some forgotten and some famous-whose lives intersected with sheep, the book illuminates the roles the animals played in the "growth and development of the United States." John Brown's relationship with sheep, for example, reveals how "sheep culture influenced racial relations." And John Muir's fears about sheep grazing in Yosemite were central to the development of the environmental movement his name is most often attached to. American Sheep, in other words, is a book that shears away our misunderstandings of the past and weaves sheep into the fabric of American economic and social history"--
