The islands of the Outer Hebrides are home to some of the most remote and spectacular scenery in the world. They host an astonishing range of mysterious structures - stone circles, beehive dwellings, holy wells and 'temples' from the Celtic era. Over a twelve-day pilgrimage, often in appalling conditions, Alastair McIntosh returns to the islands of his childhood and explores the meaning of these places. Traversing moors and mountains, struggling through torrential rivers, he walks from the most southerly tip of Harris to the northerly Butt of Lewis. The book is a walk through space and time, across a physical landscape and into a spiritual one. As he battled with his own ability to endure some of the toughest terrain in Britain, he met with the healing power of the land and its communities. This is a moving book, a powerful reflection not simply of this extraordinary place and its people met along the way, but of imaginative hope for humankind.

So just how bad do you want to be a Wyoming Game Warden? This non-fiction book written by author Scott C. Werbelow takes the reader on an autobiographical journey from his earliest memories of growing up on a remote Wyoming ranch to his first day on the job as an "Official" Wyoming Game Warden nearly 20 years later. As the son of a man who has difficulties facing life with its responsibilities of marriage and family, Scott grows up not understanding his dad's behavior and obsession with poaching wildlife and abusing alcohol. When hunting with his dad involves activities that Scott knows aren't lawful, he decides to make things right by becoming a Game Warden. After his parent's divorce, and his father is more absentee, Scott's mentors become his step-father, older brother, grandparents, sheepherders, coaches, and teachers who help guide him on life's path. The fulfillment of a life-long dream of becoming a Game Warden required years of preparation, hardship, frustration, rejection, and soul-searching before a random break in Scott's favor gave him a chance. This inspirational story relates the early childhood and growing-up experiences of Scott C. Werbelow who proves how a goal-driven person can accomplish anything and succeed at life with a willingness to work hard and never give up. He has currently served in the capacity of a Wyoming Game Warden and Game Warden Supervisor for the past 25+ years primarily in Western Wyoming. He currently resides in Meeteetse, Wyoming and serves as the Game Warden Coordinator of the Cody Region which encompasses the entire Bighorn Basin.

An Edgar Award winner, Tom Franklin’s Poachers collects ten stunning, bleak tales set in the woodlands, swamps and chemical plants along the Alabama River. Staking his claim as a fresh, original Southern voice, Tom Frankin’s lyric, deceptively simple prose conjures a world where the default setting is violence, a world of hunting and fishing, gambling and losing, drinking and poaching—a world most of us have never seen. In the chilling title novella, three wild boys confront a mythic game warden as mysterious and deadly as the river they haunt. And, as a weathered, hand-painted sign reads: “Jesus is not coming.” This terrain isn’t pretty, isn’t for the weak of heart, but in these deperate, lost people, Franklin somehow finds the moments of grace that make them what they so abundantly are: human. “While he may occasionally wax sentimental about life in the impoverished South, Franklin’s style is often as laconic and simply spoken as his characters’ dialogue, sometimes close to Hemingway, but more often akin to Denis Johnson or Raymond Carver in its resonant ordinariness.” —Publishers Weekly

Raccoons are not the only bandits wearing masks in the wilderness. Growing up, author Kennie Prince spent most of his time in the woods and creeks near his home in Rankin County, Mississippi. A highly skilled outdoorsman, Prince began his career with the Mississippi Department of Wildlife Conservation in 1983 and dedicated his life to protecting Mississippi’s fish and wildlife resources in dangerous undercover work. The Poacher’s Nightmare: Stories of an Undercover Game Warden contains dozens of hair-raising accounts of covert wildlife operations, often spanning years, requiring ingenious planning, complicated secrecy, and deft coordination. Prince infiltrated bloody-minded, wary criminal groups, winning their trust. When his traps were fully set, he involved other state and federal law enforcement officials to bring an abrupt halt to abominable thefts of vast fish and wildlife resources from the public trust. Smart, creative, knowledgeable, tenacious, disciplined, passionate, and a natural-born actor, Prince bore a unique skillset that made him an ideal fit for this perilous undertaking. This memoir details how Prince gained the confidence of tightly knit circles of loyal, leery poachers and put an end to their destructive evil.
