Revised and Updated with More Stories of Recent Bear Attacks and the Hard Lessons Learned

A must-read about these magnificent but sometimes deadly creatures—thoroughly revised, expanded, and updated

Every year, millions of people travel to grizzly country, hoping for a glimpse of the Great Bear. And every year, somebody is attacked. The power of the grizzly is almost mythical and has become the stuff of legend.

 

Mark of the Grizzlyrelies on neither myth nor legend. Rather, it relies on the true accounts of dozens of attacks, from Yellowstone National Park to Alaska, from 1977 to 2010. Author Scott McMillion examines each attack and its aftermath, interviewing victims, their survivors and investigators. Hikers, photographers, hunters, scientists and others tell their stories here, offering what they have learned and the lessons that others should know.

 

Neither mysteries nor tales of horror, these stories create a world of wonder, respect and fear that make for a book you’ll find hard to put down.

  

In the thirteen years sinceMark of the Grizzlyfirst appeared. DNA science has revolutionalized how people study bears and how they investigate attacks. Growing populations of grizzlies and people have led to more bear/human encounters—some fatal—and grizzlies now wander parts of the West where they hadn’t been seen for decades. This new edition includes a thorough update of existing material and new or expanded chapters that cover:

 

·        The recent attacks around Yellowstone National Park and Anchorage, Alaska, which have generated national headlines.

·        The increased popularity of mountain biking and trail running in grizzly country. Are such sports advisable there?

·        Expanding bear populations into the prairies of Montana and Wyoming, far from the expected mountain locales.

·        “Bear Men.” People who gettooclose to bears, and sometimes die in their jaws. The book includes a profile of Timothy Treadwell, subject of the movieGrizzlyMan.

·        The continuing phenomenon of “dinner bell” grizzlies.

The New Behavioral Activation Approach to Getting Your Life Back

What if depression weren't a disorder occurring on its own but was rather a kind of signpost pointing at tangible things you needed to change in your life? This would radically alter not only the way you think about depression but also the strategies you'd use to overcome it.

Behavioral activation therapy is built on this powerful, insightful assumption. Its techniques offer fast, effective relief from depression by guiding you to make positive and rewarding changes in your life. This simple, profound process reconnects you to the naturally occurring rewards of a well-lived life, which are powerful antidotes to feelings of depression.

The workbook's engaging exercises create a structured framework in which you are encouraged to focus on those activities that will inspire you with feelings of pleasure, mastery, and engagement. Learn to develop a list of enjoyable activities or activities you need to engage in as a part of a normal and satisfying life. Begin with the easiest (or sometimes, the most indispensable) activities on your list, and learn how to tackle them one by one.

This book has been awarded The Association for Behavioral and Cognitive Therapies Self-Help Seal of Merit -- an award bestowed on outstanding self-help books that are consistent with cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) principles and that incorporate scientifically tested strategies for overcoming mental health difficulties. Used alone or in conjunction with therapy, our books offer powerful tools readers can use to jump-start changes in their lives.

An Introduction to the Constitutional Principles of American Government

This new Liberty Fund edition of James McClellan's classic work on the quest for liberty, order, and justice in England and America includes the author's revisions to the original edition published in 1989 by the Center for Judicial Studies. Unlike most textbooks in American Government, Liberty, Order, and Justice seeks to familiarize the student with the basic principles of the Constitution, and to explain their origin, meaning, and purpose. Particular emphasis is placed on federalism and the separation of powers. These features of the book, together with its extensive and unique historical illustrations, make this new edition of Liberty, Order, and Justice especially suitable for introductory classes in American Government and for high school students in advanced placement courses.

Year Round Vegetable Production Using Deep-Organic Techniques and Unheated Greenhouses

"Brimming with ingenuity, hope, and eminently practical advice, The Winter Harvest Handbook is an indispensable contribution."--Michael Pollan

"Useful, practical, sensible, and enlightening information for the home gardener."--Martha Stewart

With The Winter Harvest Handbook, everyone can have access to organic farming pioneer Elliot Coleman's hard-won experience. Gardeners and farmers can use the innovative, highly successful methods Coleman describes in this comprehensive handbook to raise crops throughout the coldest of winters.

Building on the techniques that hundreds of thousands of farmers and gardeners adopted from Coleman's The New Organic Grower and Four-Season Harvest, this book focuses on growing produce of unparalleled freshness and quality in customized unheated or, in some cases, minimally heated, movable plastic greenhouses.

Inside, you'll find Coleman's clear, concise, and meticulous details [including many accompanying illustrations] on:

 * Greenhouse construction and maintenance
 * Planting schedules
 * Crop management
 * Harvesting practices
 * Marketing methods

Coleman's painstaking research and experimentation with more than 30 different crops will be valuable to small farmers, homesteaders, and experienced home gardeners who seek to expand their production seasons.

A passionate advocate for the revival of small-scale sustainable farming, Coleman provides a practical model for supplying fresh, locally grown produce during the winter season, even in climates where conventional wisdom says it "just can't be done."

"The incomparable Eliot Coleman is back."--The New York Times

"A Renaissance man for a new generation."--Dan Barber

John Faulkner

Jimmy Faulkner

Perhaps no one knew the intensely private William Faulkner better than his brother John. At the time of Bill's funeral, a reporter remarked that seeing John walking the streets of Oxford, Mississippi was like encountering the ghost of the brother. Indeed, John and Bill were mirrors of one another in many ways. In his memoir we find an intimate and at time humourous portrait of William and his brothers from childhood to adulthood. John provides a keen view of the local characters and situation which Bill later used in his novels. John provides us a rare look into the soul of the Nobel Prize-winning author.

Anonymous

This is the basic text of the Narcotics Anonymous fellowship. Just as with alcoholism, there is no 'cure' for narcotic addiction, but recovery is possible through a program adapted from the ""Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions"" of Alcoholics Anonymous. This book, written by addicts, for addicts, about addicts, sets forth the spiritual principles of Narcotics Anonymous that hundreds of thousands of addicts have used in recovery. Intended as a complete textbook for every addict seeking recovery, ""Narcotics Anonymous"" describes the N.A. program and how it works. It includes the ""N.A. Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions"", as well as many personal stories of men and women who have found freedom from addiction through Narcotics Anonymous.
