Four Years In the Rockies tells the story of Isaac P. Rose, who went from greenhorn to legendary trapper at the height of the fur-trade in the 1830s. His narrative features a who's who of early American West figures like Jim Bridger, Kit Carson and Nathaniel Wyeth, and features many memorable sequences such as the trader's rendezvous, fights with Native Americans and countless details not in mainstream history books - for example, how Kit Carson found his wife. Four Years In the Rockies is a definitive look at the era of the fur-trappers and is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of the American West.

Bill 'Swampy' Marsh has been writing about the Australian outback and its people for many years. But as well as being a writer and storyteller he is a collector of rich outback characters - and Jack 'Goldie' Goldsmith is, he says, a gem among many.Born in the Blue Mountains more than 70 years ago, Goldie was a troubled, reckless boy. When he was 15 he left home and school and took off for the bush with his mate Bluey. It was just after World War II and there was massive unemployment, and he had to take whatever job was going. In his travels throughout western New South Wales and Queensland Goldie worked at everything: he picked potatoes, trapped rabbits, was a shearer, roustabout, railway fettler and ringer, among many other jobs. And before long Goldie became known as the kind of bloke who could do anything - and who probably would.Bill 'Swampy' Marsh tells Goldie's story in his own words, and the result is a rich and vivid account of a fast-vanishing Australia, with its values of mateship, willingness to give anything a go, determination not to let the bastards get you, and spirit of daring and adventure.

Her grandmother was living in an assisted living home and her health was declining. Her aunt moved into the assisted living facility to care for her. She wanted a way to communicate with her mother about death as well as a way to help her complete her memoirs. We rushed the book to press one weekend as it looked like her grandmother's end was near. The workbook arrived at her home a half hour after she passed away. While she was alive, we asked her and Katie's aunt a lot of questions about what should or should not go into the workbook. So in the process, she was able to gain benefit from the workbook through communication.
