  The music journalist and author of Giant Steps offers a history of modern jazz evolutions pioneered by Art Blakey, Dexter Gordon and other greats. 
   
  Following his earlier volume, Giant Steps, which gives readers a comprehensive overview of Bebop and free jazz from the mid-40s to the mid-60s, Kenny Mathieson now explores the later years of the modern jazz era in greater depth. In Cookin', Mathiesonexamines the birth and development of two of the most enduring and influential jazz styles of the post-war era: hard bop and its related offshoot, soul jazz.  
   
  Hard bop was the most exciting jazz style of its day and remains at the core of the modern jazz mainstream even now. It drew on the twin poles of bebop and the blues for its foundation, spiced up with gospel, Latin and R&B influences. Mathieson looks at the founding fathers of the form, Art Blakey and Horace Silver, and goes on to trace the music through its peak decade.  
   
  This updated edition of Cookin’ includes a new chapter devoted to saxophonist and composer Jackie McLean. 
   
  “Mathieson’s descriptions of what they brought to the bandstand and the recording studio are fondly graphic, in well-chosen phrases… It is extremely readable.”—Jazz Review

  National Outdoor Book Award Winner: A photo-filled study of the elegant, elusive American mountain goat in its rugged natural habitat.   Confined to the remote, rugged mountains of the western United States and Canada, the American mountain goat is one of the least familiar species of hoofed mammals in North America. These extraordinary mountaineers are seldom seen, and their lives and fortunes may be the least understood among the continent’s large mammals. Life on the Rocks offers an intimate portrayal of this remarkable animal through the lens of field biologist and photographer Bruce Smith.   Color photographs and accounts of Smith’s personal experiences living in Montana’s Selway-Bitterroot Wilderness Area accompany descriptions of the American mountain goat’s natural history. Smith explores their treacherous habitat, which spans the perilous cliffs and crags of the Rocky, Cascade, and Coast mountain ranges. The physical and behavioral adaptations of these alpine athletes enable them to survive a host of dangers, including six-month-long winters, scarce food sources, thunderous avalanches, social strife, and predators like wolves, bears, lions, wolverines, and eagles. Smith also details the challenges these animals face as their territory is threatened by expanding motorized access, industrial activities, and a warming climate.   “The noble mountain goat is exquisitely adapted to place. As this fine book makes clear, though, people are changing those places, and fast. Here's one more face of creation asking implicitly that we back off some.” ―Bill McKibben, environmentalist and New York Times–bestselling author of Falter
