  The player never really leaves the game in professional hockey. 
   
  Nearly thirty years passed between the time Behn Wilson put on his first and last pair of skates, years spent pursuing an NHL career and then living the dream he made a reality.  
   
  First he played for the Philadelphia Flyers. Then Chicago was home when he joined the Blackhawks. Behn retired in 1988, but not before competing in the Stanley Cup Finals and NHL All-Star Game. Now, in Gloves Off, Behn shares the story of his career—the good, the bad, the exasperating, and the extraordinary. This is an insider’s look at how the game was played in the 1980s, one of hockey’s most pivotal decades. Read about Behn’s experience in the pros, the players he called teammates, and the fights that became legendary.  
   
  Gloves Off is an exciting, inspirational journey through one man’s career in a glorious—and often merciless—sport.

  By the Wainwright-Conservation-Prize-winning author of Rebirding 
  Spend a year in an orchard, celebrating its imperilled, overlooked abundance of life.  
  England's ancient orchards, collaborations between people and nature, are sources of hope for the future. Protecting them promises a far richer England for the centuries to come, for wildlife and for us. 
  As the seasons turn, a wealth of animals and plants are revealed: Bumble and solitary bees apartment-hunting in April; spotted flycatchers migrating in May; redstarts, hedgehogs and owls nesting in June; an explosion of life in the summer and the harvest and homespun cider-making in the autumn. And all throughout the year, the orchard’s human and animal inhabitants work together, creating one of the richest ecosystems left in Britain. 
  Explore this unique habitat throughout the course of a year, and marvel at the beauty and strength of nature. 
  Benedict Macdonald, the award-winning author, takes us on a journey through the year, highlighting the importance of protection and recreation in these natural habitats. His book, ORCHARD, is a testament to the environmental and natural sciences that thrive in these spaces, making it a top pick for those interested in botany and bird life. 
  For fans of Sarah Langford (In Your Defence), John Lewis-Stempel (Woodston), Isabella Tree (Wilding), Mark Avery (Fighting for Birds), and James Aldred (The Man Who Climbs Trees).

  Home Waters - A Chronicle of...

  In the spirit of his father's beloved classic, A River Runs through It, comes John N. Maclean’s true chronicle of his family and their bond with Montana's Blackfoot River—a profound and beautiful story about the power of place to bind generations, past and present 
  “Maclean’s Hemingway-esque prose is as clear as a mountain stream, flowing with a poetic cadence.” —Booklist 
  “The trout completed its curve in an undulating, revelatory sequence. A greenish speckled back and a flash of scarlet on silver along its side marked it as a rainbow. One slow beat, set the hook … in those first seconds I felt a connection to a fish of great size and power.""  
  So begins John N. Maclean's remarkable memoir of his family's century-long love affair with Montana's majestic Blackfoot River, which his father, Norman Maclean, made legendary. Now himself past the age that his father published his bestselling novella, Maclean returns annually to the simple family cabin that his grandfather built by hand, still in search of the fish of a lifetime. When he hooks it at last, decades of longing promise to be fulfilled, inspiring John, reporter and author, to finally write the story he was born to tell.  
  A book that will resonate with everyone who feels deeply rooted to a place, Home Waters is chronicle of a family who claimed a river, from one generation to the next, of how this family came of age in the 20th century and later as they scattered across the country, faced tragedy and success, yet were always drawn back to the waters that bound them together. Here are the true stories behind the beloved characters fictionalized in A River Runs Through It, including the Reverend Maclean, the patriarch who introduced the family to fishing; Norman, who balanced a life divided between literature and the tug of the rugged West; and tragic yet luminous Paul (played by Brad Pitt in Robert Redford’s film adaptation), whose mysterious death has haunted the family and led John to investigate his uncle’s murder and reveal new details in these pages. 
  A universal story about the power of place to shape families, and a celebration of the art of fishing, Maclean’s memoir beautifully portrays the inextricable ways our personal histories are linked to the places we come from—our home waters.
