Bodio, Stephen: On the Edge of the Wild: Passions and Pleasures of a Naturalist; 1558216480 / 9781558216488, New Book
1998 The Lyons Press; 1st Ed, 1st Printing,
Near Fine 8vo Hardcover, in Near Fine DJ
(Description) Light edgewear, else brand new and unread! ***(Synopsis) Steve Bodio has always been on the edge of the wild: hunting since he was young - and eating all that he kills; leaving Boston to travel West, ending up in Montana, then New Mexico; falling entranced with raptors and becoming a falconer; traveling the world for other hints of wildness - in lifestyle, landscape, and food. These thought-provoking essays center on living on the edge of civilization and what remains of the wild - subtly, about enjoying both, needing both. Subjects include country, sport, birds of prey, reading and writing, and food - all crossing back and forth over that edge. As Bodio writes: This book is a collage in essays about the kind of life I found worth living so far. Read this book and enter Bodio's life - you'll find it enviable, outrageous, funny, sad, and breathtaking. It is a life that must be touched., AB01150.

Quammen, David: Natural Acts; 0805239677 / 9780805239676, New Book
1985 Nick Lyons Books; 1st Ed, 1st Printing,
Near Fine 8vo Hardcover, in Near Fine DJ
(Synopsis) ôLively writing about science and nature depends less on the offering of good answers, I think, than on the offering of good questions,ö said David Quammen in the original introduction to Natural Acts. For more than two decades, he has stuck to that credo. In this updated version of his first essay collection, Quammen's lively curiosity leads him from New Mexico to Romania, from the Congo to the Amazon, asking questions about mosquitoes (what are their redeeming merits?), dinosaurs (how did they change the life of a dyslexic Vietnam vet?), and cloning (can it save endangered species?). This expanded edition returns to print Quammen's best-loved ôNatural Actsö columns, which first appeared in Outside magazine in the early 1980s, and includes recent pieces such as ôPlanet of Weeds,ö an influential Harper's cover story. The new Natural Acts is an eye-opening journey that will please both Quammen fans and newcomers to his work., AB00847.

Schullery, Paul: Mountain Time; 0805239324 / 9780805239324, New Book
1984 Nick Lyons Books; 1st Ed, 1st Printing, Signed by the Author
Near Fine 8vo Hardcover, in Very Good+ DJ
(Description) Light scuffing to front of DJ. ***(Synopsis) Mountain Time, a thoughtful and often moving work, is not only about Yellowstone as a superb sample of American wildness, . . . but also about a man named Paul Schullery and his relationship to it. This fact gives the book much richness and power, for Schullery comes across clearly as a caring, observant, undogmatic person whose reasonable and intelligent opinions are reinforced by plenty of facts. In a certain mood, it is possible to wish (vainly) that people of his civilized caliber were the only ones allowed to open their mouths very widely on any subject that really matters, as Yellowstone definitely does., AB01011.

(Synopsis) What is real wilderness?

Schullery, Paul: The Rise: Streamside Observation on Trout, Flies & Fly Fishing; 0811701824 / 9780811701822, New Book
2006 Stackpole Books; 1st Ed, 1st Printing,
Near Fine 8vo Hardcover, in Near Fine DJ
(Synopsis) Even after centuries of observation, anglers are still trying to solve the mysteries of that magical instant when a trout takes a fly. The Rise, based on recent scientific research into trout feeding behavior and the author's extraordinary photographic studies, provides many new clues. With unprecedented photographic clarity, Schullery reveals the subtleties of the trout's feeding behavior, analyzes the rise-forms that puzzle us, and offers startling and reassuring insights into the lessons of rejection. Schullery challenges modern common knowledge; reconsiders neglected flies, ideas, and tactics; and faces some of fly fishing's toughest questions with wit, patience, and the happy conviction that the questions are more important than the answers anyway., AB00860.
