In his enthusiastic explorations and fervent writing, Michael J.
Yochim "was to Yellowstone what Muir was to Yosemite. . . . Other
times, his writing is like that of Edward Abbey, full of passion
for the natural world and anger at those who are abusing it,"
writes foreword contributor William R. Lowry. In 2013 Yochim was
diagnosed with ALS (Lou Gehrig's disease). While fighting the
disease, he wrote Requiem for America's Best Idea. The book
establishes a unique parallel between Yochim's personal struggle
with a terminal illness and the impact climate change is having on
the national parks--the treasured wilderness that he loved and to
which he dedicated his life. Yochim explains how climate change is
already impacting the vegetation, wildlife, and the natural
conditions in Olympic, Grand Canyon, Glacier, Yellowstone, and
Yosemite National Parks. A poignant and thought-provoking work,
Requiem for America's Best Idea investigates the interactions
between people and nature and the world that can inspire and
destroy them.

'Tis the season for finding love... and the perfect bookWith just
two weeks until Christmas, everything in Clove Lore should be
perfect. But the latest holidaymaker to the Borrow a Bookshop is
feeling far from festive... Icelandic ex-bookseller Magnus
Sturluson might be surrounded by love stories in the Bookshop, but
he's nursing a sadness that not even fiction can fix. When
Alexandra Robinson finds herself stranded in Clove Lore, she finds
a safe place to hide from heartbreak. After all, all that's waiting
for her at home is a cheater boyfriend and the memories of her
parents. As Alex finds herself embraced by the quirky village
community, she finds her tough exterior thawing - and as she grows
closer to Magnus, she finds an equally soft heart under his gruff
shell. It seems that Clove Lore is working its magic once again -
until a great flood on Christmas Eve brings devastation in its
wake. It's up to Magnus and Alex to batten down the hatches and
help bring the village back together again, while also introducing
the locals to the Icelandic tradition of the jolabokaflod - Yule
book flood - where families and friends gather on Christmas Eve to
exchange books and read together. But can Magnus and Alex truly
rescue the ruins of the village, and salvage their Christmas
spirit? Or is there another complication lurking even closer than
they thought? A totally uplifting read that will lighten the winter
gloom, for fans of Jenny Colgan and Trisha Ashley. Booklovers will
adore this seasonal treat! Readers are loving Christmas at the

This richly illustrated book introduces readers to "the golden
one," as Rebula has been lovingly described. Rebula grapes, an
ancient varietal once prized by princes and popes, are indigenous
to the region that now straddles the border between Italy and
Slovenia. On the Italian side the area is called Collio, in
Slovenia Goriska Brda. It has been rated by experts as among the
top five wine terroirs on the planet, shoulder to shoulder with
Bordeaux and Tuscany. Wine experts agree, calling Rebula "a dream
wine of a new age." Rebula was rated the World's Best Wine in 2010
by sommelier Luca Gardini, and a Rebula has received an astounding
100 points on Wine Spectator's 100-point scale. Beautifully
designed with full-color photographs, the book recounts the
fascinating story of Rebula and the history of wine in what was
once Yugoslavia and is now Slovenia. The protagonist is a
remarkable vintner, Zvonimir Simcic, one of the founders of what
was Yugoslavia's most important winery before the country
fragmented. Almost single-handedly responsible for the preservation
of Rebula, he resurrected the forgotten varietal and transformed
his home region, spectacular Goriska Brda, from a poverty-stricken
area into one of the globe's great wine destinations. Pulitzer
finalist Noah Charney provides a personal, humorous, deeply engaged
travelogue through the little-known world of Slovenian wine that
will delight adventurous travelers and wine lovers everywhere.

One of the great pleasures of camping is cooking in the
out-of-doors within beautiful surroundings. Whatever your mode of
travel, whether it be backpacking in the high altitude, camping in
a tent, pop-up trailer, camper, travel trailer, motor home or
boating the closeness to nature is rewarding. The wonderful aroma
of campfire smoke, the vista of a lake, stream and mountains, the
animals and birds close at hand, and the smell of evergreens
enhance the experience. The dry desert camping among smoke trees
with lizards scurrying around is satisfying also.
