Decade of the Wolf
The release of thirty-one Canadian gray wolves into
Yellowstone in 1995 and 1996 began what is arguably
the most successful, and at the same time controversial
feat of conservation in our nation's history.
Co-authored with wolf project leader Doug Smith, this is
an unforgettable account of a heart-warming -- and at
times, heart-wrenching -- decade. |
The Great Divide
At a time when we've come to expect both predictability
and immediate gratification from nature, The
Great Divide celebrates the role of
the Rocky Mountains in sparking the boundless potential
of the American imagination. Filled with vivid tales
of the characters who have peopled this majestic region,
from original Indian inhabitants and European explorers,
to today's adventure travelers toting satellite phones
into the wild.
Now available in paperback. |

Hawks Rest
What's it like to spend three months
living in a rustic cabin in the most remote part of
the continental United States? Not as peaceful as you
might imagine. In addition to up-close encounters with
wolves and grizzlies, Gary meets a wild assortment of
colorful characters. Winner of two major book awards,
Hawks Rest
is a fascinating, if disquieting chronicle of his experience. |
Shouting at the
Sky
As Jacquelyn Mitchard put it: "Gary details the
way a spirit is broken down by the absence of friends,
parents, bathrooms, cooked meals, controlled shelter
and old routines… [and then] how that broken spirit,
crying out in pain, is received into the arms of the
wilderness, and sometimes healed." This book is
a must read for anyone concerned about the challenges
facing American teens. |
