In the early 20th Century mining town of Ely, Minnesota, Joe Seliga taught himself how to build wood and canvas canoes. What began as a life full of curiosity and adventure grew into a passion for the land and its people. Joe held a deep appreciation of wild places, cherished his close-knit family, and found joy in using his hands to create a thing of beauty and utility. Along the way, he forged a tradition of respect and integrity for the wooden canoe: if you take care of it, it will take care of you. And Joe knew that the same could be said of the earth, a good friend and a lot of other things. This biographical picture book celebrates Joe's life with canoes as well as the independent spirit that instilled a tradition of self-reliance in a whole generation of campers across the lake country of northern Minnesota.

Field naturalists have observed the activities of weasels for
centuries. Their descriptions were often accurate but sometimes
misinterpreted the animals' behaviors and underlying explanations
for those behaviors. "Organized natural history" became one of the
roots of the science of ecology in the 1920s and by the 1960s
scientists had begun to study the biology of weasels with all the
critical, objective advantages of modern theory and equipment.
Until the first edition of this book appeared in 1989 no one had
attempted to explain these results to non-specialist naturalists.
Now thoroughly revised, this book will continue to be the main
one-stop reference for professionals. But both kinds of knowledge
are brought together here-- observations for the traditional
naturalist and rigorous measurements and interpretations for modern
scientists, integrated into a single, readable account.
