In the centuries since sandhill cranes and other large wading birds have been present on this earth, someone has finally compiled a book about the folklore of these birds. Legends of the Crane by author Pamela J. Jensen is a delightful, extensively researched, hardcover book with over 120 poems and stories about cranes, herons, egrets, and storks, and includes 47 original color pieces of artwork. The original cover artwork was especially painted for this book from noted Washington State artist Doug Miller.Cranes are worldwide globally, existing on five of the seven continents, and Legends of the Crane reflects this by including poems and stories from North America, Asia, Africa and Australia. Readers can ponder on poetry from early century China and Japan, a classical story about whooping cranes from Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings' The Yearling, fables from Hans Christian Andersen, or features from modern day poets and writers. Each poem and story not only uniquely describes the birds' flight, dance, or cry but also their habitat.Like the poems and stories that have remained timeless over the centuries and retold in Legends of the Crane, this book will also be read and re-read, and thoroughly enjoyed many times over.

For Lisa Knopp, homesickness is a literal sickness. During a lengthy sojourn away from the Nebraska prairie, she fell ill, and only when she decided to return home didøshe recover. Homesickness is the triggering event for this collection of essays concerned with nothing less than what it means to feel at home. Knopp writes masterfully about ecology, place, and the values and beliefs that sustain the individual within an impersonal world. She is passionate about her subject whether it be an endangered beetle in the salt marshes near Lincoln, Nebraska, a forgotten Nebraska inventor, a museum muralist, a paleontologist, or Arbor Day as the misguided attempt of Eastern settlers to ?correct? a perceived deficiency in the Great Plains landscape. Here is a writer who has read widely and judiciously and for whom everything resonates within the intricately structured definition of home.

For nature lovers as well as cooks, there's plenty to whet the appetite in this unique field guide-cum-cookbook. Starting with the first plants ready for eating in the early spring (watercress and nettles) and following the sequence of harvest through the late fall (persim-mons and Jerusalem artichokes), Kay Young offers full, easy-to-follow directions for identifying, gathering, and preparing some four dozen edible wild plants of the Great Plains. And since most of the plants occur elsewhere as well, residents of other regions will find much of interest here. ø 'This is not a survival book," writes the author; "only those plants whose flavor and availability warrant the time and effort to collect or grow them are included." The nearly 250 recipes range from old-time favorites (poke sallet; catnip tea; horehound lozenges; hickory nut cake; a cupboardful of jams, jellies, and pies) to enticing new creations (wild violet salad, milkweed sandwiches, cattail pollen pancakes, day-lily hors d'oeuvres, prickly-pear cactus relish). ø Reflecting the author's conviction that just as we can never go back to subsisting wholly on wild things, neither should we exclude them from our lives, this book serves up generous portions of botanical information and ecological wisdom along with good food.
