Hiking Canada's Great Divide Trail

By: Dustin Lynx

Trekking the Continental Divide from the U.S. border to Kakwa Lake is a demanding adventure. In this revised and updated guidebook devoted to Canada's 1,200-kilometre Great Divide Trail (GDT), Dustin Lynx helps hikers piece together the myriad individual routes that form a continuous trail along the Divide. Outlining the six major sections of the GDT, Lynx breaks the trail into shorter, more attainable segments and thoroughly describes the terrain and condition of each. Not only are these trail segments invaluable for planning shorter trips along the GDT, Lynx's pre-trip planning advice will also prove indispensable for long-distance hikers overcoming such daunting logistical challenges as resupply, navigation and access.

Logical Conclusions

Essays on America: 1998-2013: Volume II

By: James E. Dustin

Chapters include the following: Lawsuits: These are actual lawsuits allowed into our nation's courts. The only way this chapter would be stranger is if it listed lawsuits so absurd they were not allowed into the courts. Hunting and Fishing: I live in a small drinking town with a hunting and fishing problem. Weather: This includes a column on the benefits of climate change, a subject that most news reports ignore, and why we in Walden, Colorado, are in favor of global warming. Politics: The first column is my abortive attempt to run for president of the United States. Another is on what we should learn from the Greeks, and another on state stereotyping. Yes, that happened. Internet English: This is the Age of the Text. So why do so many of these texters not know basic English? Sadly, examples abound. Technology: I've suggested a number of new inventions. You'll like the Fleshomatic. EEKs: Hope you're not one. Health: You don't realize the value of an eye until you've lost one. Advertising: Dilbert once observed that if marketing worked, it would be illegal. But it must work on some of us. Bureaucracies: If learning about what our government workers are actually doing doesn't drop you into a state of depression, you might be heavily medicated. Human Behavior: None of these columns seemed to fit anywhere else, like what if the passage of an asteroid made us all smarter?

Death's Disciples

By: Dustin L. Herriman

Death's Disciples By: Dustin L.

Follow along as this unlikely survivor relates his harrowing experience, and live his desperate attempts to cling to life and safety. Review: “The world Herriman’s created ends up feeling both real and fascinatingly unique, the characters well-rounded and three-dimensional, and the magical and supernatural aspects of it feel plausible, with limits, constraints, and possibilities that do a lot to help shape the plot…” -Catherine Langrehr for IndieReader

Born to Play

My Life in the Game

By: Dustin Pedroia

The inspirational story of Boston Red Sox second baseman Dustin Pedroia—a giant talent in a small package—who defied his critics to become one of the greatest players in the game today. Dustin Pedroia, at five feet seven inches and 170 pounds, is not the biggest, the strongest, or the fastest player in the game of baseball, but in just two years of major-league play he was named Rookie of the Year, Most Valuable Player, and helped the Boston Red Sox win a World Championship. At a time when steroid scandals dominate media coverage of America’s beloved pastime, Pedroia has proven to the world that a good baseball player is more than size and statistics. His success comes from the heart. In Born to Play, Pedroia shares the story of his difficult and uplifting journey to prove himself at every turn. More than anything, his love of the game and desire to win, not just for himself but for his teammates, defines Pedroia as an athlete—but his dedication, his perseverance, and of course, his monster swing have made him a beloved new symbol of baseball and offer hope for the future of America’s favorite game.

Invasive Species: a Very Short Introduction

By: Julie Lockwood,Dustin J. Welbourne

Today there is no place on Earth that does not harbour invasive exotic species. Invasive plants and animals can be found on every continent, including Antarctica, and within all waterbodies, including all oceans. In our increasingly connected world, with speedy commercial and recreational travel and the global movement of biological matter for food, invasive species are showing up at such a fast rate that there is no way to accurately count how many currently exist or how many are likely to emerge in the coming decades. Monitoring these species and controlling their spread is essential, as we increasingly understand the negative impacts they pose: their threat to our health; the toll they take on our commercial production; and the threat they pose to native ecosystems. This Very Short Introduction provides a clear definition of an invasive species, and considers the myriad ways they are moved around the globe, and the ecological, social, and economic impacts they often impose. Exploring the way Earth's biodiversity is being affected by global change, Julie Lockwood also discusses policy and management approaches to combating the ill-effects of invasive species, and how invasive species fit within the broader context of environmental change. ABOUT THE SERIES: The Very Short Introductions series from Oxford University Press contains hundreds of titles in almost every subject area. These pocket-sized books are the perfect way to get ahead in a new subject quickly. Our expert authors combine facts, analysis, perspective, new ideas, and enthusiasm to make interesting and challenging topics highly readable.

An Aid Climber's Guide to the Back of the Lake

By: Dustin Lynx

This is perhaps the most esoteric guidebook ever written. By your reading this description, it speaks to the fact that you likely have a screw loose and should have your head checked! Well, if you're a rock climber and interested in a five star, all-inclusive trip to spend a week aid climbing, this book is for you! This guide 'booklet' looks at the popular Back of the Lake climbing area near Lake Louise, Alberta, (Canada) through the lens of easy to moderate aid climbing. So, if you need time to get back into this dark art of climbing before some epic big wall expedition, or simply want a convenient place to flounder, you should read on. I only need to convince about a quarter million people to try aid climbing and buy this book and I'll be set! Just kidding. I've spent several years honing my aid climbing skills in this gorgeous location in preparation for other climbs, like in Zion and Yosemite. Aid climbing is a necessary part of most big wall routes unless you're Alex Honnold. The quartzite crags at the Back of Lake are more solid than granite and as colourful as a rainbow. Most of the climbs are easily accessed by a flat 2km hike around the postcard-like Lake Louise. I'm no professional photographer but my friends describe the colour photos in the book as 'descriptive' and 'adequate.' Really, their praise is overwhelming. While I've been climbing most of my life, aid climbing is something relatively new to me. I put this booklet together because I thought someone else might enjoy knowing about what a treasure this area is for aid climbing. There's even new route potential across the lake. Hope you enjoy it!
