This extensive anthology delves into the multifaceted theme of 'treasure hunts,' presenting a spectrum of narratives that vary from thrilling escapades across uncharted territories to introspective journeys of self-discovery. The works contained within this collection not only traverse diverse literary stylesâ€"from the didactic tones of moral tales to the whimsical playfulness of juvenile fictionâ€"but also echo the timeless tradition of storytelling that captivates the imagination while imparting invaluable life lessons. Assembled by an impressive array of authors including L. Frank Baum, Upton Sinclair, and Horatio Jr. Alger, this anthology showcases the rich contributions of eminent and emerging voices across different literary epochs. Each author contributes their unique perspective, whether it's grounded in the realism of Sinclair's social commentaries or the fanciful worlds imagined by Baum. The anthology aligns itself with notable historical and cultural movements, capturing the essence of each era's spirit through its tales. The collective experiences of these storytellers intertwine, providing readers with an enriched understanding of the universal allure and cultural significance inherent within the theme of treasure hunts. I recommend The Grand Library of Treasure Hunts to readers eager to explore a myriad of perspectives and narrative styles brought together under the captivating theme of elusive adventures. This collection offers not only educational enrichment but also fosters an engaging dialogue among the disparate voices of its authors, making it a valuable resource for those seeking to immerse themselves in tales of intrigue and excitement. Through this anthology, readers are encouraged to experience the manifold insights into human resilience and imagination that make treasure hunts a timeless literary motif."}

    Maurice Hornocker is recognized worldwide as the first scientist to unravel the secrets of America's most enigmatic predator—the mountain lion. A story of redemption, this book is a memoir about the never-before-told adventures, challenges, and controversies surrounding Hornocker's groundbreaking study of cougars in the remote reaches of the Idaho Primitive Area. 
     
     
     
    North America's biggest cat was once killed for bounty dollars, slaughtered with impunity and driven toward extinction. But today's cat of intrigue, despite our lingering fears and misconceptions, has returned to much of its native range in the western United States and gained respect as a predator integral and necessary to wild ecosystems. This turnaround was triggered by one man: Maurice Hornocker. Cougars on the Cliff recounts the early years of his research when he tracked lions following a dog's nose and footprints in the snow—before telemetry was available. Hornocker was first to learn that mountain lions living in stable populations limit their own numbers through territoriality and a concept he called "mutual avoidance." This insight flew in the face of long-held beliefs that cougars were prolific and wanton killers that needed to be controlled as vermin. Thanks to Hornocker's work, today cougars can be found throughout the West and have even started to reclaim their place in New England.

    Short stories have always been a sort of instant access into an author’s brain, their soul and heart.  A few pages can lift our lives into locations, people and experiences with a sweep of landscape, narration, feelings and emotions that is difficult to achieve elsewhere. 
     
    In this series we try to offer up tried and trusted ‘Top Tens’ across many different themes and authors. But any anthology will immediately throw up the questions – Why that story? Why that author?  
     
    The theme itself will form the boundaries for our stories which range from well-known classics, newly told, to stories that modern times have overlooked but perfectly exemplify the theme.  Throughout the volume our authors whether of instant recognition or new to you are all leviathans of literature. 
     
    Some you may disagree with but they will get you thinking; about our choices and about those you would have made.  If this volume takes you on a path to discover more of these miniature masterpieces then we have all gained something. 
     
    War has ruined Nations and peoples.  Revolution has followed in some.  In the aftermath society slowly picks itself up, unaware that collapse is already beginning to ferment in its economic bastions.  The authors of this decade are purposeful with their prose, describing and detailing with stories the brazen nature of this decade.
