  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.

  Evolution Is Wrong - A Radical...

  A Fascinating Exploration on Why the Darwinists’ Theory No Longer Explains EverythingThere was once a set of ideas called the theory of evolution, conceived by clever people and confirmed by countless scientists. Then people discovered the electron microscope. This made it possible to make the molecules within the cell visible, and suddenly questions about evolution arose that were not possible before. Which force actually bundles the atoms in the right order? What moves the molecular chains into the correct position? How did the first living unit within the cell actually come about? How does inheritance work, how does information pass on to the next generation? Did humans descend only and exclusively from primates—as Charles Darwin and countless other great minds assumed—or did additional “engines” intervene in evolution? Today it is clear: countless questions can no longer be answered with the previous theory of evolution. There is a form of life called “Blob” (Physarum polycephalum). The “thing” has neither eyes nor ears, neither a mouth nor a nose or even a brain. Nevertheless, it takes in food, overcomes obstacles by the shortest route and exchanges information with other “blobs.” The “blob” contradicts any evolutionary thought that one develops from the other. Or the “gastric-brooding frogs” (Rheobatrachus) found in Australia. They hatch their young in the stomach. Impossible in a slow, evolutionary process. Everywhere there are characteristics of animals that do not want to fit into the theory of evolution anywhere. And man? Are we really the most adapted life-form on this planet? Today, more and more scientists who contradict the previous theory of evolution speak out. The theory fits the changes within the species, but it can no longer be reconciled with the inner workings of the cell. Some other influence that has so far escaped us is affecting evolution. It is called “Intelligent Design.” Intelligent planning is suspected behind this. Anyone or anything—a spirit of the universe? Aliens?—could be behind this planning. Erich von Däniken uses countless examples to demonstrate the impossibility of the previous evolutionary idea. He quotes scientists who argue against the previous teaching, but also those who defend it. Unfortunately, established science still refuses to look at discrepancies and holes in the theory of evolution, even though it is quite obvious that there is more going on with regard to the development of all species, as well as human culture, than could be explained by the theory of evolution alone.

  Rest Is Resistance - Group...

  The work we do doesn’t define our worth. Imagine a world where justice includes space for rest and leisure, away from the relentless grind created by capitalism, white supremacy, and other oppressive forces. For centuries, these systems have exploited bodies for production, leading to destruction and harm by denying the inherent divinity in every human being. But now, people are waking up to this manipulation, and they’re starting to prioritize rest and healing. 
  America was built on the labor of Black and Indigenous people, whose right to rest was denied. The capitalist system grew out of violence and the theft of labor on plantations. These oppressive systems view human bodies as property, not as divine beings. We've been conditioned to believe we must work endlessly or risk falling into poverty. But there’s more beyond this narrow view.

  Voices for the Vanishing: Remembering Wildlife 
  Narrated by Margot Raggett MBE 
  Over the past decade, Remembering Wildlife has become one of the most influential conservation publishing projects of its kind — raising over £1.2 million for frontline conservation and bringing together the world’s leading wildlife photographers, scientists, and conservationists. 
  Voices for the Vanishing brings together the written heart of the Remembering Wildlife series for the first time in audio form. 
  Across ten books — from elephants and rhinos to lions, cheetahs, bears, and pangolins — this audiobook weaves together powerful essays, firsthand field stories, and vital conservation insights from those working closest to some of the world’s most threatened species. 
  Narrated by Remembering Wildlife founder Margot Raggett MBE, with a special introduction by wildlife presenter Gordon Buchanan, these chapters explore not only the beauty of the natural world, but the complex realities of protecting it — from human-wildlife conflict and habitat loss to hope, resilience, and the people fighting for change. 
  Originally written to accompany iconic photographic collections, these essays stand alone as compelling listening for anyone who loves wildlife, Africa, wild places, and the future of our planet. 
  This is not a single story, but a tapestry — ten years of conservation voices brought together to be heard. 
  All profits from Remembering Wildlife support conservation projects working to protect endangered species around the world.
