The first of its kind, this companion covers essential issues and

with the social and natural sciences. Exploring how the

developing field.
Debates concerning the federal role in regulating industry and in
managing the nation's public lands are becoming increasingly
contentious. This is in part due to the rise of well-organized and
ideologically energized land rights movements that have vowed to
resist expansion of environmental regulations and even to roll back
existing environmental statutes. A Wolf in the Garden is the only
book available that assembles the arguments of key thinkers in the
land rights and the environmental movements. The broad range of
essays in this collection unveils hidden dimensions of the debate
and explores opportunities for the environmental movement to
revitalize itself by taking advantage of recent changes in the
political landscape.

This is a fictional account of one man's attempt to give some
meaning and scope to his life by involving himself in the Vietnam
conflict during the dying years of it. As well, it covers the years
of tortured regret that followed. To the attuned reader, it will
also indicate the parallels between that conflict and the one that
more recently took place in Iraq and Afghanistan.
This is a short book of short stories (and one novelette) of mixed
genre. The genre range goes from occult/horror, to murder/horror,
to near-future/speculative, to something that may (or may not) be
speculative. If there is such a thing, the latter may be
tongue-in-cheek speculative, or perhaps food-for-thought
speculative. Whatever they may be catagorized as, they are intended
to be just for fun.The horror stories in this book are not the
'splatter' type of horror that we are so often confronted with
today. It is merely the type of horror for the unjaded palate.
