The Last Wolf

By: Jim Crumley

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

In 1743, according to legend, the last wolf in Scotland was killed by a huntsman near Inverness. At the time the extinction of wolves in Scotland was celebrated. But since then deer have multiplied in the Highlands, destroying the vegetation on which an array of wildlife depends and creating a barren, treeless landscape. Gradually it has become clear that the entire eco-system has been thrown out of balance by the elimination of a top predator. Now there are calls for a limited reintroduction of wolves into Scotland as a way of healing the damaged land. The wolf has been the victim of black propaganda since ancient times. By tellers of folk tales and historians alike it has been described as a slayer of babies, a robber of graves, a devourer of battlefield dead. In this passionate polemic, Jim Crumley argues that these stories are pure fiction, a distortion of reality which prevents people from thinking rationally about the huge benefits the presence of wolves could bring to Scotland. Now is the time for myths to be dispelled, and for the wolf to return to its old home in the highlands.

In Wolf Country

The Power and Politics of Reintroduction

By: Jim Yuskavitch

In Wolf Country tells the story of the first groups of wolves that emigrated from reintroduced areas in Idaho to re-colonize their former habitat in the Pacific Northwest, how government officials prepared for their arrival, and the battles between the people who welcome them and the people who don’t, set against the backdrop of the ongoing political controversy surrounding wolf populations in the Northern Rockies. The political maneuvering and intense controversy that has defined wolves’ recovery in the West makes this a compelling and timely read.

Alaska's Wolf Man

The 1915-55 Wilderness Adventures of Frank Glaser

By: Jim Rearden

Between 1915 and 1955 adventure-seeking Frank Glaser, a latter-day Far North Mountain Man, trekked across wilderness Alaska on foot, by wolf-dog team, and eventually, by airplane. In his career he was a market hunter, trapper, roadhouse owner, professional dog team musher, and federal predator agent. A naturalist at heart, he learned from personal observation the life secrets of moose, caribou, foxes, wolverines, mountain sheep, grizzly bears, and wolves—especially wolves.

The Chatroom

By: Jim Dineen

An investigation led to the discovery that the chatroom he had been visiting had played host to seven people from three different continents; in the past three months, six had died and now Fletcher had disappeared. Was Fletcher another victim of a fatal "accident" or had he somehow orchestrated the deaths? Looking back on the incident from the year 2045, the magazine "Mysteries of the Past" builds a case against Fletcher and re-examines all the known facts. An innovative style of writing combines both newspaper articles and excerpts from the magazine with chatroom dialogue to lead you through the events of 1995 in "Paul's Restroom.

The Wolves of Alaska

A Fact-based Saga

By: Jim Rearden

Jim Rearden is Alaska's most popular outdoors journalist. He holds two degrees in wildlife management and was Professor of Wildlife Management at the University of Alaska Fairbanks 1950-54. As a member of the Alaska Board of Game 75-82 he helped develop the Tanana Flats wolf control program. He details with historical accuracy the controversy that erupted when the 1975 program was announced. Counterpointing the modern controversy, Rearden includes exciting segments of his best-selling Alaska's Wolf Man, the story of Frank Glaser, Alaska's full-time government wolf hunter who hunted wolves in the Territory of Alaska 1915-1955. Alaska’s wolves are the main characters in this historically and biologically accurate recounting. Included are vivid anecdotes about wolves with descriptions of their behavior and way of life, examples of their intelligence, and expressions of appreciation for their charm and beauty, as well as an honest look at their savage efficiency as predators and relationship to urban and rural Alaskans.

The Sun King Prophecy

The Sun King Prophecy

By: Jim Packheiser

Two disparate worlds must work together if one is to survive. For millennia, humans have gone about their daily lives, blissfully unaware of the centuries-old conflict on another plane of existence. But these two places, these two peoples share a common thread, one that binds them together through the primeval prophecy of the Sun King. The lands of exotic Somnium have long been ravaged by war. For a blood-and conflict-filled century, two ancient armies have battled with no end in sight. The evil black hordes of the Shadow Elves have waged a constant campaign of death and destruction upon the Sun Elves. For over a hundred years, the forces of good have gone without the sweet taste of victory. The last, best hope for the Sun Elves lives on only in the promise of a thousand-year-old prophecy of a savior from another race, one that has long been absent from the ravaged lands of Somnium: humanity. In Auburn, California, a young man and his uncle are busy working on a project in the yard when their lives change dramatically. There, Brendan and Will discover a mysterious rock formation and the journey that awaits inside takes them further away from any known reality than their imaginations could possibly conceive. Could this young man or his uncle really be the fulfillment of the Sun King prophecy?

Terminal Uprising

By: Jim C. Hines

Hugo award-winning author Hines returns to science fiction with the second book of the Janitors of the Post-Apocalypse, featuring the unlikely heroes that may just save the galaxy from a zombie plague. Human civilization didn’t just fall. It was pushed. The Krakau came to Earth in the year 2104. By 2105, humanity had been reduced to shambling, feral monsters. In the Krakau’s defense, it was an accident, and a century later, they did come back and try to fix us. Sort of. It’s been four months since Marion “Mops” Adamopoulos learned the truth of that accident. Four months since she and her team of hygiene and sanitation specialists stole the EMCS Pufferfish and stopped a bioterrorism attack against the Krakau homeworld. Four months since she set out to find proof of what really happened on Earth all those years ago. Between trying to protect their secrets and fighting the xenocidal Prodryans, who’ve been escalating their war against everyone who isn’t Prodryan, the Krakau have their tentacles full. Mops’ mission changes when she learns of a secret Krakau laboratory on Earth. A small group under command of Fleet Admiral Belle-Bonne Sage is working to create a new weapon, one that could bring victory over the Prodryans … or drown the galaxy in chaos. To discover the truth, Mops and her rogue cleaning crew will have to do the one thing she fears most: return to Earth, a world overrun by feral apes, wild dogs, savage humans, and worse. (After all, the planet hasn’t been cleaned in a century and a half!) What Mops finds in the filthy ruins of humanity could change everything, assuming she survives long enough to share it. Perhaps humanity isn’t as dead as the galaxy thought.

Sins of Pearl

Sins of Pearl

By: Jim Henry

Pearl Johnson, unknown to her but obvious to almost everyone else, falls in love with a younger man. Due to the heavy baggage of a yet-to-be-terminated marriage which was doomed from its beginning, strict obedience to religious dogma, her familys mores, and a strained relationship with her grown daughter, Pearl has difficulty accepting that she has the right to enjoy her own being, life, and the pursuit of happiness. Widower Bob Johnson, with three grown children, is clueless about what the future holds for him. He only knows that he was happily married for almost thirty years and is dubious even thinking about a second relationship, fearing that it would lead to disappointment because he would always be comparing the new women to his deceased beloved. Buried in loneliness, he becomes heavily involved in volunteer work and begins to imbibe a bit too much in self-pity and alcohol. This story of love and internal conflict takes place amid the wonderfully complex, yet beautiful, sometimes tragic, life in Haiti. Guidance comes from two unlikely friendships...a Voudoun priest and a Haitian engineer. Fates intervention in the relationship is best capsulated by the Voudoun, who says, God works in strange and mysterious ways. As with all of Jims novels, Sins of Pearl is written to entertain. Hopefully, the reader will laugh a little, cry a little, and think a little. Its clash of cultures and comparisons of religious doctrine may cause some to think, which is good.

Martin Scorsese and the American Dream

By: Jim Cullen

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

Martin Scorsese and the American Dream

By: Jim Cullen

More than perhaps any other major filmmaker, Martin Scorsese has grappled with the idea of the American Dream. His movies are full of working-class strivers hoping for a better life, from the titular waitress and aspiring singer of Alice Doesn’t Live Here Anymore to the scrappy Irish immigrants of Gangs of New York. And in films as varied as Casino, The Aviator, and The Wolf of Wall Street, he vividly displays the glamour and power that can come with the fulfillment of that dream, but he also shows how it can turn into a nightmare of violence, corruption, and greed. This book is the first study of Scorsese’s profound ambivalence toward the American Dream, the ways it drives some men and women to aspire to greatness, but leaves others seduced and abandoned. Showing that Scorsese understands the American dream in terms of a tension between provincialism and cosmopolitanism, Jim Cullen offers a new lens through which to view such seemingly atypical Scorsese films as The Age of Innocence, Hugo, and Kundun. Fast-paced, instructive, and resonant, Martin Scorsese and the American Dream illuminates an important dimension of our national life and how a great artist has brought it into focus.

A man who falls in love with a woman he passes on the highway during his daily commute. An amusement park attraction that comes to life. A young biracial man forced to choose sides when a not-so-United States erupts in racial civil war. A love affair between the ghost of a dead woman and the new owner of the house she haunts.

And in both Stan’s Not My Name and Mirror Image, men and women fall in love under extremely unusual circumstances.

Terminal Alliance

By: Jim C. Hines

The Krakau came to Earth to invite humanity into a growing alliance of sentient species. But they hadn't counted on a mutated plague wiping out half the human population, turning the rest into shambling, near-unstoppable animals, and basically destroying human civilization. You know, your standard apocalypse. The Krakau's first impulse was to turn around and go home. (After all, it's hard to have diplomatic relations with mindless savages who eat your diplomats.) Their second impulse was to try to fix us. Now, a century later, human beings might not be what they once were, but at least they're no longer tryiying to eat everyone. Mostly."--Jacket flap.

One Thousand White Women

The Journals of May Dodd

By: Jim Fergus

Based on an actual historical event but told through fictional diaries, this is the story of May Dodd—a remarkable woman who, in 1875, travels through the American West to marry the chief of the Cheyenne Nation. One Thousand White Women begins with May Dodd’s journey into an unknown world. Having been committed to an insane asylum by her blue-blood family for the crime of loving a man beneath her station, May finds that her only hope for freedom and redemption is to participate in a secret government program whereby women from “civilized” society become the brides of Cheyenne warriors. What follows is a series of breathtaking adventures—May’s brief, passionate romance with the gallant young army captain John Bourke; her marriage to the great chief Little Wolf; and her conflict of being caught between loving two men and living two completely different lives. “Fergus portrays the perceptions and emotions of women...with tremendous insight and sensitivity.”—Booklist “A superb tale of sorrow, suspense, exultation, and triumph.” —Winston Groom, author of Forrest Gump

Wolf

By: Jim Harrison

Jim Harrison’s first novel—a walk on the wild side from “a force of nature in American letters” (The Seattle Times). The New York Times–bestselling author of thirty-nine books of fiction, nonfiction, and poetry—including Legends of the Fall, Dalva, and Returning to Earth—Jim Harrison was one of our most beloved and acclaimed writers, adored by both readers and critics. Praised as “a raunchy, funny, swaggering, angry, cocksure book,” Wolf tells the story of a man who abandons Manhattan after too many nameless women and drunken nights, to roam the wilderness of northern Michigan, hoping to catch a glimpse of one of the rare wolves that prowl that territory (The New York Times Book Review). “When you turn the last page and Swanson’s voice stops, you want to flip back and keep listening.” —The Examiner

Red Hood's Revenge

By: Jim C. Hines

Wars may end. But vengeance is forever. Roudette's story was a simple one. A red cape. A wolf. A hunter. Her mother told her she would be safe, so long as she kept to the path. But sometimes the path leads to dark places. Roudette is the hunter now, an assassin known throughout the world as the Lady of the Red Hood. Her mission will take her to the country of Arathea and an ancient fairy threat. At the heart of the conflict between humans and fairies stands the woman Roudette has been hired to kill, the only human ever to have fought the Lady of the Red Hood and survived-the princess known as Sleeping Beauty.

Rivers Under Siege

The Troubled Saga of West Tennessee's Wetlands

By: Jim W. Johnson

Rivers under Siege is a wrenching firsthand account of how human interventions, often well intentioned, have wreaked havoc on West Tennessee's fragile wetlands. For more than a century, farmers and developers tried to tame the rivers as they became clogged with sand and debris, thereby increasing flooding. Building levees and changing the course of the rivers from meandering streams to straight-line channels, developers only made matters worse. Yet the response to failure was always to try to subdue nature, to dig even bigger channels and construct even more levees-an effort that reached its sorry culmination in the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' massive West Tennessee Tributaries Project during the 1960s. As a result, the rivers' natural hydrology descended into chaos, devastating the plant and animal ecology of the region's wetlands. Crops and trees died from summer flooding, as much of the land turned into useless, stagnant swamps. The author was one of a small group of state waterfowl managers who saw it all happen, most sadly within the Obion-Forked Deer river system and at Reelfoot Lake. After much trial and error, Johnson and his colleagues in the Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency began by the 1980s to abandon their old methods, resorting to management procedures more in line with the natural contours of the floodplains and the natural behavior of rivers. Preaching their new stewardship philosophy to anyone who might listen-their supervisors, duck hunters, conservationists, politicians, federal agencies-they were often ignored. The campaign dragged on for twenty years before an innovative and rational plan came from the Governor's Office and gained wide support. But then, too, that plan fell prey to politics, legal wrangling, self-interest, hardheadedness, and tradition. Yet, despite such heartbreaking setbacks, the author points to hopeful signs that West Tennessee's historic wetlands might yet be recovered for the benefit of all who use them and recognize their vital importance. Jim W. Johnson, now retired, was for many years a lands management biologist with the Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency. He was responsible for the overall supervision and coordination of thirteen wildlife management areas and refuges, primarily for waterfowl, in northwest Tennessee.
