Synopsis

The Complete Works of Ralph Waldo Emerson is a comprehensive collection that encapsulates the breadth of Emerson's philosophical musings, essays, and poetic reflections, emblematic of the Transcendentalist movement. It delves into themes such as individuality, nature, and the divine interconnectedness of all life, rendering an engaging literary style characterized by rich symbolism and thought-provoking aphorisms. The work situates itself within the context of 19th-century American literature, challenging conventional norms and advocating for a more profound personal understanding of truth and existence through introspection and observation of the natural world. Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803-1882), a central figure in the Transcendentalist movement, was influenced by his experiences in Concord, Massachusetts, as well as his encounters with figures like Thoreau and the broader European romantic tradition. Emerson's writings often reflect his philosophical inquiries into self-reliance, the power of the individual intellect, and a deep reverence for nature, stemming in part from his Unitarian upbringing and the intellectual climate of his time. This remarkable anthology is highly recommended for scholars, students, and general readers alike, offering profound insights into the human experience. Emerson's works not only inspire self-discovery but also urge readers to transcend societal limitations and embrace the inherent beauty of the natural world, making it an essential addition to any literary collection.

Steve Duno

The moving story of the author’s adopted Rottweiler mix, Lou, a free-thinking heroic dog who changed his life forever.“Lou’s story is an emotional and deeply delt tribute to the powerful bond between dogs and humans. Last Dog on the Hill will make you long for that one special superdog that can truly change your life. We should all be so lucky to have a dog like Lou in our world.” —Garth Stein, author of The Art of Racing in the RainBorn of guard dogs on a secret marijuana farm in Mendicino County, California, Lou truly was one dog in a million. On the winter day that the ailing, tick-infested feral pup was rescued by Steve Duno, neither dog nor man had a clue as to what they were getting into . . .Last Dog on the Hill tells the story of an indigent young Rottweiler mix who went on to change the lives of hundreds of dogs and people, including the author's, whose career as a pet behaviorist was made possible through Lou's extraordinary intelligence and heart. Lou won the respect of gang members, foiled an armed robbery, caught a rapist, fought coyotes and kidnappers, comforted elderly war veterans and Alzheimer patients in their final days, taught ASL to kids, learned scores of unique behaviors and tricks, amassed a vocabulary of nearly 200 words, and helped rehabilitate hundreds of aggressive dogs, saving them from euthanasia.

Lou will steal your heart.” —Janet Evanovich, New York Times–bestselling author of the Stephanie Plum series

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.

Where I Was: A memoir about...

Constance Singam

Where I Was: A Memoir About Forgetting and Remembering is a rich, entertaining and compelling account of the life of an extraordinary woman. In a land of many cultures, many races, many religions; in a state where politics and public policies impinge, sometimes callously, on the daily lives of its denizens, Constance Singam is an individual marginalised many times over by her status as a woman, an Indian, a widow and a civil society activist. 
 
Through humorous and moving accounts, Constance captures in words the images of the people, places and events that are the source of her most powerful memories. These images are connected to key turning points in her personal journey, set against or within the context of important historical events. In this reissue of her 2013 memoir, Constance reflects on current advocacy movements and on the events that led to the AWARE saga that would shape the rest of her life.
