Arctic Dreams

Barry Lopez's National Book Award-winning classic study of the Far North is widely considered his masterpiece.

Lopez offers a thorough examination of this obscure world-its terrain, its wildlife, its history of Eskimo natives and intrepid explorers who have arrived on their icy shores. But what turns this marvelous work of natural history into a breathtaking study of profound originality is his unique meditation on how the landscape can shape our imagination, desires, and dreams. Its prose as hauntingly pure as the land it describes, Arctic Dreams is nothing less than an indelible classic of modern literature.

Arkansas Duck Hunter's Almanac

Steve Wright (Author), Steve Bowman (Author)

The Arkansas Duck Hunter's Almanac received rave reviews when it was first published in softcover in 1998. One complaint was the lack of a hardcover edition. For all those who are so passionate about the great Arkansas tradition of duck hunting, this edition presents that option. Although the hardcover book has 16 new pages of duck hunting photographs, it isn't a revision of the original printing. The only changes in the text are slight additions and deletions concerning clarity and accuracy. Unchanged is the ultimate goal of the book -- to record as much history as possible so more people can fully appreciate the significance of this Arkansas duck hunting heritage.

Woods Runner

Gary Paulsen (Author)

Samuel, 13, spends his days in the forest, hunting for food for his family. He has grown up on the frontier of a British colony, America. Far from any town, or news of the war against the King that American patriots have begun near Boston.

But the war comes to them. British soldiers and Iroquois attack. Samuel’s parents are taken away, prisoners. Samuel follows, hiding, moving silently, determined to find a way to rescue them. Each day he confronts the enemy, and the tragedy and horror of this war. But he also discovers allies, men and women working secretly for the patriot cause. And he learns that he must go deep into enemy territory to find his parents: all the way to the British headquarters, New York City.

Proven Whitetail Tactics

Greg Miller (Author)

“I've read plenty of deer hunting books, I've even written one. Like many serious hunters, I've found that most of these books contain a lot of ‘filler’ or the same old ideas I've read dozens of times before.

Proven Whitetail Tactics is a cut above most other deer hunting books. Mr. Miller understands deer and knows how to apply that knowledge to his hunting. He has a real knack for getting to the meat of what techniques work, and why. His book is illustrated with pictures of big bucks he's bagged, most in areas where consistent success takes more than luck or a good guide.

To clarify his written ideas, he's got simple drawings of funnel points, stand locations, deer movement patterns, etc. One or two illustrated great new ideas for me. Also very useful are "Greg's Proven Pointers," found at the end of most chapters, where he distills his key points down to a short, bulleted list. These few sentences alone contain a gold mine of whitetail savvy.

This book rings true. The more you love hunting whitetails the more you'll appreciate this book.”

--Bruce Nelson, author of Hunting Big Whitetails
