Book Description
When not writing his famous Western novels, Zane Grey was an insatiable angler. Tales of Southern Rivers recounts his tales of fishing in the Gulf of Mexico, the Florida Keys, the Everglades, and on remote rivers in the jungles of Mexico. With many of these venues being some of today's most popular saltwater fly-fishing destinations, no one will want to miss these highly entertaining and informative yarns. Armchair fishing will never be the same.

Book Description
Tales From The River is a collection of 33 short stories inspired by the author's sunrise walks through a 300-year old Southern town on the Mississippi River. "Every tale lures you to the next, from the fanciful, to the historical, to the other worldly. Are they real or are they imagined? You'll wonder. I loved it . . . It stirs the imagination. Tales From The River reminded me of Marjorie Rawlings who wrote the Pulitzer-Prize-winning The Yearling. Marjorie's editor, Maxwell Perkins, suggested she write a book appealing to both young and old. Marjorie thought a moment and replied, 'You sit there at your desk and ask me to write a classic.' Which Marjorie did. [Tales From The River] is that kind of book." - Review published in the Commercial Dispatch (Columbus, MS) *** Tales From The River is divided into four parts, with stories for all ages. Part One (children+) Become friends with elves, trolls, sproots, and a pocket mouse! Part Two (middle school+) Discover a magic wishing well . . . meet a special sparrow . . . learn the secret of the Last Leaf . . . eavesdrop on the CIA . . . sneak into an abandoned building at night . . . battle on the high seas . . . ride a fire-breathing dragon . . . survive an alien encounter . . . and dare to enter Dead Man's Cave. Part Three (teens+) Fight in a foggy, dawn skirmish between Union and Confederate soldiers . . . befriend a mysterious old man and his forest creatures . . . join a SEAL team on a dangerous, highly-classified mission . . . and come face to face with ghosts (not all friendly). Part Four (the rest of us) Experience the vibrancy of the world around us . . . read stories that will make you laugh . . . cry . . . and reflect on the importance of family and friendship, the joy and pain of love, and the wonderment of life and what we make of it. Tales From The River will delight and entertain both adult and younger readers. At the end of each story, the author adds a note to the reader, explaining the "idea spark" for the fantastical, haunting, humorous, thrilling, mysterious, or bittersweet tale. Sometimes a fleeting observation can be the catalyst for an amazing story. We need only unleash our imaginations.

Book Description
Along the Mekong, from northern Tibet to Lijiang, from Luang Prabang to Phnom Penh to Can Lo, I moved from one world to another, among cultural islands often ignorant of each other’s presence. Yet each island, as if built on shifting sands and eroded and reshaped by a universal sea, was re-forming itself, or was being remolded, was expanding its horizons or sinking under the rising waters of a cultural global warming. It was a journey between worlds, worlds fragiley conjoined by a river both ominous and luminescent, muscular and bosomy, harsh and sensuous. From windswept plateaus to the South China Sea, the Mekong flows for three thousand miles, snaking its way through Southeast Asia. Long fascinated with this part of the world, former New York Times correspondent Edward Gargan embarked on an ambitious exploration of the Mekong and those living within its watershed. The River’s Tale is a rare and profound book that delivers more than a correspondent’s account of a place. It is a seminal examination of the Mekong and its people, a testament to the their struggles, their defeats and their victories.

Book Description
With his tape recorder, Richard Negri captured the life stories of seven men and three women who lived by herding cattle and sheep in the area around what is now Canyonlands National Park. Encompassing Wayne, Emery, and Garfield counties in southeastern Utah, this was a scenic land of isolated ranches, precipitous paths, and little water or food in the San Rafael Desert and the canyonlands west of the Green and Colorado Rivers. The stories he captured are rich with descriptive details of landscape and the challenges it presented to both humans and animals eeking out a living in this parched territory. The interviews with these early cowboys and cowgirls, sheepmen and sheepwomen, are full of colloquialisms, western flavor, and strong opinions. Fleshed out with maps and photographs, the stories capture the precarious existence of these people, celebrating their triumphs and their challenges, often begging the question of how or why one would choice to live in this hard-scrabble place. What shines clear in these stories is the committment these men and women have to their way of life and to the land they called home.

Book Description
A tale of obsession and very big fish from Jeremy Wade, the presenter of ITV's RIVER MONSTERS. Over ten feet long, it weighs in at nearly a quarter of a ton. Covering its back are armoured plates made of bone. Five hundred stiletto-sharp teeth line its long crocodilian jaws. It's a prehistoric beast of staggering proportions; a fearsome creature from the time of the dinosaurs. But the Alligator Gar, an air-breathing survivor from the Cretaceous period is still with us today, patrolling inland rivers, hunting in murky waters shared by human communities. And for Jeremy Wade, described as the 'greatest angling explorer of his generation', the Gar and other outlandish freshwater predators have been an obsession for all his adult life. With names like Arapaima, Snakehead, Goonch, Goliath Tigerfish and Electric Eel, many of them have acquired an almost mythical status. In a quest that has taken him from the Amazon to the Congo, and from North America to the mountains of India, Wade has pursued the truth about these little known, often misunderstood animals. Along the way he's survived a plane crash, malaria and a fish-inflicted blow to the chest that, according to a later scan, caused permanent scarring to his heart. In RIVER MONSTERS, Wade delivers a sometimes jaw-dropping blend of adventure, natural history, legend and detective work. It reads like a hunt for the Loch Ness Monster. But it's all true. These are fisherman's tales like you've never heard before. The stories of the ones that didn't get away ...

Book Description
ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND TRAVELERS had crossed the Oregon Trail during the gold rush of 1849. Even the most backwoods warrior understood what that meant: disease, death, and conflict with the whites. As a result of the Treaty of 1851, some Indians were convinced that the country to the north—called Absaraka—might be a better option for a home range. At the very least, it held the promise of less trouble from the whites. The danger from other tribes was another matter.
