Where does hunting fit in the modern world? To many, it can seem outdated or even cruel, but as On Hunting affirms, hunting is holistic, honest, and continually relevant. Authors Grossman, Miller, and Cunningham dive deep into the ancient past of hunting and examine its position today, demonstrating that we cannot understand humanity without first understanding hunting. Readers will

·       identify hunting skills and their many applications outside the field,


·       learn why hunting is critical to ecological restoration and preservation, and

Drawing from ecology, philosophy, and anthropology and sprinkled with campfire stories, this wide-ranging examination has rich depths for both nonhunters and hunters alike. On Hunting shows that we need hunting still—and so does the wild earth we inhabit.

Swimming Success - Training and...

Zane Ryder

Competitive swimming is a sport that demands physical endurance, technical precision, and mental resilience. It is one of the most popular aquatic sports worldwide, with events ranging from short sprints to grueling long-distance races. Swimmers compete individually or as part of a relay team, striving to achieve the fastest times in their respective events. Unlike recreational swimming, competitive swimming requires structured training, strategic race execution, and a deep understanding of technique.
The history of competitive swimming dates back to ancient civilizations, but it was not until the 19th century that it became an organized sport. The first major swimming competitions took place in England, leading to the formation of governing bodies such as FINA (Fédération Internationale de Natation), which now oversees international swimming events, including the Olympics and World Championships. The sport has since evolved with advancements in training methods, swimwear technology, and a greater emphasis on biomechanics.
Success in competitive swimming depends on mastering the four primary strokes: freestyle, backstroke, breaststroke, and butterfly. Each stroke has unique technical demands and is used in different race formats. Freestyle is the fastest and most commonly raced stroke, while backstroke is the only event swum on the back. Breaststroke requires precise timing and powerful movements, and butterfly is known for its demanding strength and coordination. In addition to individual strokes, swimmers compete in medley events that combine all four.

Exploring the St Croix River...

Angie Hong

The St. Croix River is a 169-mile ribbon of blue that cleaves the land between Minnesota and Wisconsin. Exploring the St. Croix River Valley provides a tour of the St. Croix Riverway and its 8,000-square-mile watershed. Environmental educator Angie Hong recommends specific places to explore the varied habitats and shows us myriad ways to get out and enjoy by hiking, paddling, biking, skiing, fishing, and more. As she travels from headwaters to tributaries, Hong takes in the Arcola High Bridge (with a side of freshwater mussel lore), searches for the perfect lakeside supper club, and talks to wildlife pros and volunteers restoring prairies, oak savanna, streams, and woodland habitats. 
 
 
 
With stops at Standing Cedars Community Land Conservancy, Sunfish Lake Park, and the Chequamegon–Nicolet National Forest, listeners will learn about the landscape and its history—groundwater geology and riverside land formations, ephemeral wildflowers and forests lost to logging—and the local fauna such as skinks and osprey, red-headed woodpeckers, grouse, and elk. Along the way, Hong has her own stories to tell, from paddling the Namekagon and wild ricing on the Moosehorn to planting trees with school kids. With its mix of stories and practical information, Exploring the St. Croix River Valley makes an engaging companion for anyone venturing to this extraordinary place.
