  This award-winning “gem” of a conservation classic tells the story of the land, wildlife, and ecology of East Texas (Quarterly Review of Biology).Winner of the Ottis Lock Endowment Award from the East Texas Historical Association; the Texas Literary Festival Award for Nonfiction from the Southwestern Booksellers Association & Dallas Times Herald; and the Annual Publication Award, Texas Chapter of the Wildlife Society As hickory groves and fox squirrels began to vanish from the East Texas landscape in the second half of the twentieth century, two biologists who specialized in wildlife and endangered species began work on Land of Bears and Honey. Their purpose was not only to eulogize what was lost, but to encourage us to save what we still can. The result is an “elegant chronicle of the natural history of a once-rich area [that] will appeal strongly to birders, ecologists, to anyone who enjoys the outdoors” (Publishers Weekly).   “This deceptively slender volume is three things: a how-to-book, an aesthetic feast and a moral tale.” —Dallas Morning News   “To compare the style and content of this little book to that of the late Aldo Leopold is indeed high praise, yet the reviewer finds this comparison valid.” —Quarterly Review of Biology   “In Land of Bears and Honey, East Texans have their own regional Walden, written with keen historical perspectives, literary style, and deep respect for the land.” —East Texas Historical Journal   “This graceful blend of history, narrative and dialogue paints a noble portrait of one more disappearing chunk of Americana.” —Los Angeles Times Book Review

  Ho ho ho! Here’s what to listen to while driving to the mall, wrapping gifts, entertaining friends, or relaxing in front of a crackling holiday fire.  
  In Scott Simon’s modern version of the Christmas story, Jesus is born in an abandoned factory near Cleveland and the Three Wise Persons bring Chipotle gift cards. Claudia Sanchez gives a Latin accent to “A Visit from St. Nicholas.” Barbara Bradley Hagerty explores what Christmas means for the boy choristers of the National Cathedral in Washington, D.C. (Hint: Handel.) In a treasured 1974 recording, humorist, author, radio personality, and blacklisting victim John Henry Faulk tells of “the wonderfulest Christmas in the United States of America.” A son believed missing in action during WWII is found in time for his family to celebrate the holiday. And a Vietnam veteran tells Weekend Edition Sunday about a “Silent Night” that brought hope to patients in a military hospital.  
  And that’s just the star-topped tip of the tree. Each year, listeners tune into NPR for holiday offerings of all kinds: funny, touching, insightful, and surprising. Now anyone can listen anytime to these evergreen delights.Contents:Introduction by Lynn NearyA Holiday Reading Tradition for the Whole FamilyThe Night Before Christmas, Latin StyleFinding Out What’s in Christmas GiftsHow to Make a Dream Gingerbread HomeChristmas in the ClosetLow-Glamour Christmas PartyChristmas: The Trivial and the Not-SoLate Holiday Greeting CardsRudolph: Man Who Wrote the Red-Nosed ReindeerAway in a Factory: A Christmas StoryThis I Believe: A “Silent Night” That Brought HealingMemories of Joining a Christmas ClubAll I Wanted for ChristmasSanta Clause, Private EyeHow Charlie Brown Came to Mean ChristmasAtlanta’s Pink Pig Brightens SpiritsPass the Foie Grois: Christmas Menu Hard to DigestHoliday LettersSanta Claus Private Eye, Part IIPeople Doing Other Things on ChristmasCelebrating Christmas, for Better or WorseOde to ChristmasShopping Is a Hateful, BoringXmas Gift Records from the Ban-Smo LabelChristmas Tree ChroniclesSanta Claus Private Eye, Part IIIJohn Henry Faulk’s Christmas StorySquirrel Monkey

  Who let the Dawgs out? UGA in the mid-seventies; the Dawgs were loose. No dawg catcher in Athens could keep pace with this pack of Red Clay hounds and the tall tales they lived at the University of Georgia! 
  The radical sixties had ended. The wide open seventies followed. You saw the movie Animal House. Jeff Head lived it. Return to the University of Georgia campus from 1974 to 1977. You will be transported to the corner of Baxter Street and Lumpkin Street, cater-corner from old Stegeman Hall. A stone’s throw from the UGA Bookstore; and a short stroll to historic Sanford Stadium. You will be treated to tall tales, all true. Like nothing you have read since Lewis Grizzard, enjoy THE PLUSH TAIL, OBNOXIOUS NINE, BANANAS FOSTER, STREAKING UGA STYLE AND MUCH, MUCH MORE. If you like a good belly laugh, this book is for you. If you are a wallflower, get an old copy of Ladies Home Journal. But for the guys and girls who enjoy living life to the fullest, get ready for a full body laugh. 
   “There’s only one way to be a DGD...and that’s to pick up a flea or two...and Jeff’s stories are Dawg-gone funny...and awfully close for comfort for every UGA grad...and parent! A carefree, fun read that's sure to take you down memory lane...or at least Baxter,Lumpkin, and Milledge! Enjoy

  The Perfect Vehicle - What Is It...

  "This book, a polished, winding meditation on the theory and fractiousness of motorcycles, celebrates both their eccentric history and the wary pleasures of touring."―The New Yorker 
   
  In a book that is "a must for anyone who has loved a motorcycle" (Oliver Sacks), Melissa Pierson captures in vivid, writerly prose the mysterious attractions of motorcycling. She sifts through myth and hyperbole: misrepresentations about danger, about the type of people who ride and why they do so. The Perfect Vehicle is not a mere recitation of facts, nor is it a polemic or apologia. Its vivid historical accounts-the beginnings of the machine, the often hidden tradition of women who ride, the tale of the defiant ones who taunt death on the racetrack-are intertwined with Pierson's own story, which, in itself, shows that although you may think you know what kind of person rides a motorcycle, you probably don't.
