Hardback. Zustand: Good. A wild biography of Daniel Boone that seeks to define and examine the figurehead of the American Man through a rich inspection of the complex and problematic context of American frontier history.Acclaimed Biographer and Emergent Conservationist Daniel Firth Griffith provides a wild and engaging portrait of a great American Icon, Daniel Boone. Delivered with the challenging nuance of a historian and the arresting style of a poet, Griffith's work seeks to reignite and engage the soul of American wildness. Boone: An Unfinished Portrait is a search party to find Daniel Boone, its journey is that of his story's canvas, and its purpose is to uncover a man to unfurl a hope built in reciprocity, connection, and understanding.- - - - - - - - - - - - - -Fascinating, balanced, and well-researched, this nature-centered biography is sure to entertain and inform. - Publisher's Weekly.A tantalizing biography for those who love and live for wild places. - Jim Howell, author of For the Love of Land. Griffith's work] surpasses the biography genre's standard of simply being informative and lands squarely in edifying. This book isn't just for Daniel Boone fanatics. It's a much-needed celebration of truth and virtue in a frantic world that could use a good story. - Kip Henderson.An arresting, raw, and sensitive account of a remarkable man and an extraordinary life and] told with the robust accuracy of a researcher and the engaging style of a poet. - Daniela Ibarra-Howell, Chief Executive Officer & Co-Founder of the Savory Institute.A superb study that clears away the fog and mythology of Boone as the pathfinder for civilization. - Dr. Dan Monroe, Professor of History at Millikin University and the author of The Republican Vision of John Tyler.Griffith dispenses with the trite mythology of Boone's legend to explore the philosophical underpinnings of the man and his tumultuous, transitional era. - Leo Dillon.Griffith makes Boone's life and the period alive and vivid widening the aperture on the human condition. An important read and reminder that history isn't defined by one person, one act, one event, but daily interaction with others, our times, our environment over a lifetime. - Tom Maj.- - - - - - - - - - - - - -We know the name, but do we know the man? Was Daniel Boone a woodsman-philosopher or American Patriot? Boone was and is still today a convenient symbol, employed by anyone who thinks they are an American. But what if he wasn't an American? And what if he doesn't want our employment?In this sensitive and philosophical work, we dive into the rich mythology of American literature, poetry, and history alongside Indigenous mythology and wisdom to find the man of Daniel Boone. From Whitman to Emerson, Muir to Turner, we peel back Daniel's forest - gently of course, for leaves are fragile and we don't want to disturb that beaver to your left as he creates an ecologically-rich wetland - and attempt to see him as he saw himself. Perhaps, in the naivety and purity of this place, we may also learn something about ourselves.If history is the art of trying to know better, then this book is written for those who are ready for the task-to unveil the woods of our mythology and discover a story that we may not be entirely comfortable with. The lesson of this story is not progress, but pain, not empire, but empathy. This is the story of just a man-a great man but a man nonetheless. Perhaps, that makes it the very best kind of American story.…

Hardback. Zustand: Good. Aud Torvingen returns--against her better instincts--scarred, heartbroken, changed, but tougher and rougher than ever. Stay in the world, she had said, and this was the world I had made.Seven months after the tragic events that unfold in The Blue Place, Aud is rebuilding a log cabin in the middle of the Appalachians. She wants nothing to do with the world. She is waiting for nature to heal her. The last thing she wants is another case. But then Dornan, her only real friend, tracks her down. He needs her to find his runaway fianc e. Aud feels obliged to help, and finds herself up against both a sociopath so artful that the law can't touch him--and against her own demons, the specters of loss and guilt. Aud, of course, wins--she always wins--but the price is a new understanding of herself, the renunciation of her wilderness redoubt, a return to Atlanta. Nicola Griffith's Stay is a ferocious masterpiece of literary noir, and in its pages Aud fuses her steely moral authority with a new, ever-evolving, tortured complexity. She emerges as a full-fledged classic noir hero (The New York Times Book Review)--as indomitable as Jack Reacher, sexier than La Femme Nikita, but wrecked and befuddlingly human.…

Paperback. Zustand: Good. In the wilderness, one false step can make the difference between a delightful respite and a brush with death.   On a beautiful summer afternoon in 1998, Dan Stephens, a 22-year-old canoeist, was leading a trip deep into Ontario's Quetico Provincial Park. He stepped into a gap among cedar trees to look for the next portage--and did not return. More than four hours later, Dan awakened with a lump on his head from a fall and stumbled deeper into the woods, confused.   Three years later, Jason Rasmussen, a third-year medical student who loved the forest's solitude, walked alone into the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness on a crisp fall day. After a two-day trek into a remote area of the woods, he stepped away from his campsite and made a series of seemingly trivial mistakes that left him separated from his supplies, wet, and lost, as cold darkness fell.   Enduring days without food or shelter, these men faced the full harsh force of wilderness, the place that they had sought out for tranquil refuge from city life. Lost in the Wild takes readers with them as they enter realms of pain, fear, and courage, as they suffer dizzying confusion and unending frustration, and as they overcome seemingly insurmountable hurdles in a race to survive.  "With admirable economy and a flair for suspense . . . [Griffith shows] how even well-prepared wilderness travelers can compound an initial blunder until they are in extreme danger--and what someone in their boots can do to increase his odds of surviving."--Washington Post Book World    "Simply good reporting, offering an absorbing read and material for thinking about ourselves and the wilderness."--Minneapolis Star Tribune   Cary J. Griffith is a freelance writer who specializes in writing about the outdoors.…
