Disney Channel musical sequel in which Ross Lynch and Maia Mitchell
reprise their roles as a teenage couple. Having previously found
themselves trapped inside Brady (Lynch)'s favourite film 'Wet Side
Story' during their summer holiday, he and girlfriend Mack
(Mitchell) are now back in the real world. However, they become
distracted when they return to school and decide they may be better
off breaking up at least until next summer. But when characters
from the movie, including the leads Tanner (Garrett Clayton) and
Lela (Grace Phipps), turn up in their world they have to work
together to get the cast back to where they belong. Brady and Mack
come to realise that if they don't succeed the movie that brought
them together might not exist, meaning they won't have ever met...
The award-winning story of the century-and-half-long attempt to
control nature in the American wilderness, told through the prism
of a tragic death at Yellowstone--now in paperback In the summer of
1972, 25-year-old Harry Eugene Walker hitchhiked away from his
family's northern Alabama dairy farm to see America. Nineteen days
later he was killed by an endangered grizzly bear in Yellowstone
National Park. The ensuing civil trial, brought against the US
Department of the Interior for alleged mismanagement of the park's
grizzly population, emerged as a referendum on how America's most
beloved wild places should be conserved. Two of the twentieth
century's greatest wildlife biologists testified--on opposite
sides. Moving across decades and among Yellowstone, Yosemite,
Glacier, and Sequoia National Parks, author and former park ranger
Jordan Fisher Smith has crafted an epic, emotionally wrenching
account of America's fraught, century-and-a-half-long attempt to
remake Eden--in the name of saving it.
A nature book unlike any other, Jordan Fisher Smith's startling
account of fourteen years as a park ranger thoroughly dispels our
idealized visions of life in the great outdoors. Instead of scout
troops and placid birdwatchers, Smith's beat -- a stretch of land
that has been officially condemned to be flooded -- brings him into
contact with drug users tweaked out to the point of violence,
obsessed miners, and other dangerous creatures. In unflinchingly
honest prose, he reveals the unexpectedly dark underbelly of
patrolling and protecting public lands.
