  Racoons are not the only bandits wearing masks in the wilderness. Growing up, author Kennie Prince spent most of his time in the woods and creeks near his home in Rankin County, Mississippi. A highly skilled outdoorsman, Prince began his career with the Mississippi Department of Wildlife Conservation in 1983 and dedicated his life to protecting Mississippi's fish and wildlife resources in dangerous undercover work. The Poacher's Nightmare: Stories of an Undercover Game Warden contains dozens of hair-raising accounts of covert wildlife operations, often spanning years, requiring ingenious planning, complicated secrecy, and deft coordination. 
   
   
   
  Prince infiltrated bloody-minded, wary criminal groups, winning their trust. When his traps were fully set, he involved other state and federal law enforcement officials to bring an abrupt halt to abominable thefts of vast fish and wildlife resources from the public trust. Smart, creative, knowledgeable, tenacious, disciplined, passionate, and a natural-born actor, Prince bore a unique skill set that made him an ideal fit for this perilous undertaking. This memoir details how Prince gained the confidence of tightly knit circles of loyal, leery poachers and put an end to their destructive evil.

  The water is rising — and it’s not just the coasts that are changing. Entire nations are sinking, rivers are shifting course, and millions are already on the move. But amid the devastation, extraordinary stories of resilience are emerging. 
  After the Flood takes readers to the front lines of the planet’s most pressing crisis: the global struggle to live with water in an era of unstoppable change. From the engineers building floating cities in the Netherlands to the farmers in Bangladesh reinventing agriculture on flooded land, and the Pacific Islanders fighting to preserve their homelands from beneath the waves — this is a story of ingenuity, defiance, and hope. 
  Blending investigative reporting with deeply human storytelling, Alex Southwick reveals how rising seas are not only redrawing maps, but reshaping what it means to belong, to adapt, and to survive. 
  After the Flood is a haunting and inspiring portrait of a world transformed by water — and the people determined to rise with it.
