Summary

In "Winter," Dallas Lore Sharp immerses readers in an evocative exploration of the winter season, weaving together nature writing, rich imagery, and insightful observations that reflect the profound beauty of this often-overlooked time of year. Sharp employs a lyrical prose style, addressing the innate connection between humanity and nature, while drawing on his experiences in the serene landscapes of New England. This work stands as a testament to the literary tradition of nature writing, echoing the styles of Ralph Waldo Emerson and John Burroughs, yet carving its own distinct path through the lens of winter's austere charm. Dallas Lore Sharp, an esteemed author, naturalist, and educator, dedicated much of his life to studying and promoting the appreciation of the natural world. His experiences as a professor and a passionate observer of wildlife informed his lyrical depictions, fostering a deep understanding of both the environmental and existential significance of the seasons. Sharp's ability to capture the essence of winter is a reflection of his love for the natural world, making this work deeply personal and deeply resonant. "Winter" is a remarkable read for anyone who seeks to rekindle their appreciation for the beauty hidden within the seasonal cycles. Sharp's thoughtful prose invites readers to pause, reflect, and find joy in the cold stillness of winter, ultimately enriching their understanding of nature's rhythms. This book is not only a celebration of winter but also an exploration of its implications for the human spirit.

    Mysterious Ball Lightning - Also...

    Ball Lightning — one of nature’s most astonishing enigmas is a phenomena which definitely exists. One European study counted over 5,000 sightings that ignite both wonder and scientific curiosity of these weird balls. 
    It also seems to be similar to old tales of the “Will O the Wisp” and World War Two Foo Fighters. 
    St. Elmos Fire also has similar observations so data on this phenomenon that dazzles scientists, baffled yet intrigued and mystics alike are included too. 
    There are many potential explanations but none are confirmed. Although most seem to appear around thunderstorms this is not always the case. 
    My own belief is that these objects are controlled by some type of intelligence and we will discuss reasons for this later in the book. 
    In this book you will read a lot of background information and sightings that ignite both wonder and scientific curiosity stories by persons for the last hundreds of years. 
    This is just another mystery in our strange world which cries out for more investigation.

  • What the Bears Know - How I Found Truth and Magic in America's Most Misunderstood Creatures - cover

    What the Bears Know - How I...

    Steve Searles, Chris Erskine

    In the late 1990s, the town of Mammoth Lakes, California, hired Steve Searles as a hunter to cull half its troublesome bear population. But as he began to prepare for the grim task, the bears soon won him over, and Searles realized there had to be a better way. He soon developed nonlethal tactics to control their behavior and overpopulation that heralded a landmark moment in the care and handling of the American black bear. But change was not without its challenges. To some, his success was dismissed due to his lack of formal academic training. Yet Searles never wavered in his commitment, and eventually became not just local folk hero but a nationally recognized expert. This high school dropout saved not just the bears, but, in many ways, his community. 
     
     
     
    In a tradition that runs from John Muir to Bear Grylls, Searles finds a fellowship with nature and a deeper meaning in the world of bears. Do bears understand things we don't? Are they dialed in to some greater natural force? Unlike us, bears waste little time on unreasonable fears. Bears are fully in the moment. They have an inner peace that seems to offset their power and strength. That may explain why no other animal on the planet is as revered as the bear. As Searles shares his remarkable knowledge and we become immersed in the ursine world, you'll never look at bears or nature the same way again.
