Wolf Country: Eleven Years Tracking the Algonquin Wolves

Customer Reviews:

A Must for Nature Lovers!.......2006-04-15

I bought this book for six dollars at chapters, I didn`t realize it would change my perceptions of the battle for the aglgonquin wolf! Long has the ontario Ministry of natural rescources neglected the speacial needs or the elusive, prosectuted animal:the wolf. Not long ago, bounties were placed on these animals and they were killed without pity or mercy. Whenever the wolves ventured out of the park they were killed, even the MNR officers took time to shoot a few yearlings. John and Mary uncover hard evidence to protect the wolf, despite being threatnened and joked at, they persued to protect the algonquin wolf. John`s unique research writing style and personal encounters with wolves, people and the park gives readers a first hand look at the wolf controversy. This book is a must for nature lovers!

Very well written and researched!.......2002-11-21

I thought this was a very well written book from two hard working and passionate biologists who are deeply concerned about the Algonquin wolves. I couldn't put the book down, it was so informative and fascinating. The book brings up many issues regarding wolf conservation, and is full of interesting facts about wolves and their prey. The many years of wolf research done by these two biologists in Algonquin Park really shows through. If you love wolves this book is a must for your collection.

excellent book.......1999-11-27

This book is a wonderful summation of one of the longest wolf studies ever. As a life-long visitor to Algonquin Park, it is a pleasure to learn about the wolves in and around the park. I never realized how many wolves were in that area. Although this is a wonderful book, I was disheartened by the hatred displayed by people towards these researchers and the beautiful wolves that they are studying.

nice, But becoming.......1999-03-22

he's down it again. Useing his massive tilents to write this book upon the wolf. Cool.

Map for a good overview of Olympic National Park.......2005-08-19

This contour map provides a lot of information on a 25.5 by 37.5 inch piece of paper that folds down to approximately 4.375 by 9 inches. The paper has a glossy surface and is a heavier stock than used for road maps to improve its abilitiy to withstand typical handling. The paper is supposed to be waterproof and tear resistant. My experience is these Trails Illustrated maps hold up reasonably well but will definitely show some wear at crease lines if used a lot. The scale is 1 cm = 1 km or 1 inch = 1.6 miles with a 100 foot contour interval.

One side of the map details the bulk of the park which is away from the west coast and includes the eastern or drier part of the park. This eastern section includes the spectacular alpine regions of the park including the glaciated Mt. Olympus area and the popular Hurricane Ridge and Heart of the Hills area. The other side of the map details the coastal strip of the park and access roads to the wetter western side rain forest valleys including the Hoh River valley.

The location of features such as campgrounds, back country camp sites, beach headlands that must be bypassed when hiking the beaches at high tide, information centers, handicap accessible areas, ranger stations, boat ramps, picnic areas, and places to eat or spend the night in the park are noted with symbols. Boundaries of the park, the national forest, indian reservations, stove only regions(no open fires), and wilderness areas are each shaded a different color. Back country campsites are listed alphabetically with the coordinates on the map specified. Of course, all primary trails are marked with bold, black dashed lines and the limited number of secondary trails are marked with similar but finer lines. There is a short discussion on park regulations, weather, wildlife, and safety. A diagram is provided to identify the appropriate USGS 7 1/2' topo map for each section of the area covered by the map and its perimeter.

Certainly the map is useful for planning a trip to the area and is a handy tool to have while there. Some may question whether the map is sufficiently detailed at its large scale for back country wilderness travel and might opt for USGS topos for a backpacking trip. The trails are, to my experience, well maintained and marked and the attentive backpacking party may prefer to use only this map. This is a decision that should not be made lightly. A discussion of plans with rangers at the Wilderness Information Center or ranger stations elsewhere in the park should be part of any trip into the backcountry. A key detraction to the map is the lack of any distances between road and especially trail intersections and this is why I've given it a 4 star rating. The smaller coarser scale park service map provided after paying the entry fee and available for free at locations in Port Angeles such as the visitor center does include trail distances. For the money, this Trails Illustrated map is a good tool to have if you are planning at trip to this park.

Book Description

“Let’s get lost together . . . ”

Lost in My Own Backyard brings acclaimed author Tim Cahill together with one of his—and America’s—favorite destinations: Yellowstone, the world’s first national park. Cahill has been “puttering around in the park” for a quarter of a century, slowly covering its vast scope and exploring its remote backwoods. So does this mean that he knows what he’s doing? Hardly. “I live fifty miles from the park,” says Cahill, “but proximity does not guarantee competence. I’ve spent entire afternoons not knowing exactly where I was, which is to say, I was lost in my own backyard.”

Cahill stumbles from glacier to geyser, encounters wildlife (some of it, like bisons, weighing in the neighborhood of a ton), muses on the microbiology of thermal pools, gets spooked in the mysterious Hoodoos, sees moonbows arcing across waterfalls at midnight, and generally has a fine old time walking several hundred miles while contemplating the concept and value of wilderness. Mostly, Cahill says, “I have resisted the urge to commit philosophy. This is difficult to do when you’re alone, twenty miles from the nearest road, and you’ve just found a grizzly bear track the size of a pizza.”

Divided into three parts—“The Trails,” which offers a variety of favorite day hikes; “In the Backcountry,” which explores three great backcountry trails very much off the beaten track; and “A Selected Yellowstone Bookshelf,” an annotated bibliography of his favorite books on the park—this is a hilarious, informative, and perfect guide for Yellowstone veterans and first-timers alike. Lost in My Own Backyard is adventure writing at its very best.

A great entry point for those seeking to get the most out of a Yellowstone visit..........2007-08-29

I have been to Yellowstone. I have used numerous hiking guides. I have even, in my fascination, read some books on the history and geology of the park.

Having used the Lonely Planet Yellowstone as a primary guide for an overview, I was pleased to find that the man--Tim Cahill--who had written the delightful introduction to that book has written a small book of his own on some of his adventures in the park. More than just stories, this book is a resource on multiple levels.

This coming year, I hope to be taking a BUNCH of people with me on a road trip to our nation's great "backyard." When I think about trying to get people fired up for such an adventure, the stories and enthusiasm of this book help me to get a little more enthusiasm. It further helps me to know where to begin to describe the awesome VASTNESS of wonder to be found in Yellowstome.

More than that, this book, with its list of further Yellowstone resources in the back, is a gold mine for those looking for Yellowstone resources. When Christmas rolls around, I will be sorely tempted to give this book as a gift to many who are thinking of going on the trip next year.

Until then, you should check this book out. And more than that, you should REALLY check Yellowstone out. Theres is no place like it on earth!

A pleasant diversion but not a compelling one.......2007-06-07

This book is a series of essays prompted by walking trails in Yellowstone. Thus, the subtitle is a misnomer - - this book discusses a bunch of walks, not just one. The title is a misnomer, too, as he's never "lost" in a real sense. But this book does involve some "getting lost" in a metaphorical sense. Cahill also wanders off topic a lot, usually in a pleasant way, which is a more literary way to "get lost."

Cahill writes each essay after hiking a trail. Each is idiosyncratic - - sometimes he talks about people he meets, sometimes wildlife or other sights, and sometimes general issues about Yellowstone. For example, a day hike on Mount Washburn sparks a geology lesson about the park. It also leads to musings about how Cahill's younger self was much too cool to go to any of the obvious tourist attractions in the park, including the trail up Mount Washburn.

He wanders "off topic" in such fashion a lot. For example, his essay on the Norris Geyser Basin was originally prompted by a hike to the basin but ends up discussing the joys of driving the Grand Loop Road. (Talking about driving a road is a bit out of place in a series of books about walking, but there it is.) Other essays concern the history of the park, the geology of geysers, the role of fire in the ecosystem, wheelchair-accessible backcountry campsites, and brief discussions of wildlife from squirrels to wolves.

He also writes about three extended trips in the backcountry. These are closer to trip reports, and describe more of what he and his companions do on these hikes. You don't learn that much about the trails, but you already knew that you should buy a hiking guidebook for that. He does give some Pretty Big Clues about an unnamed waterfall that you could "discover" if you want to. Oh, it's about 30 miles from the trailhead, which might be an obstacle.

The essays are pleasant diversions but none of them really have a big idea or compelling point. The book is also quite short, and could be devoured in an hour or two on the beach - - or, more appropriately, after dinner while visiting Yellowstone. Cahill's a talented writer, so I enjoyed the read but was still hungry after the meal.

Not just another walk in the park.......2006-06-22

Moments after opening the cover, readers are pulled from mundane lives across the globe and transported to one of this world's most fantastic hotspots: Yellowstone National Park. Who better than Tim Cahill to serve as guide and hiking partner?

From a bizarre winking spire in the Hoodoos to falling asleep at a grizzly picnic, Tim never fails to weave a wonderful tale. Included in a selected bookshelf appendix, a list of Yellowstone books of every stripe and shade will enlighten the curious and transform the uninitiated. While you may be disappointed that this book is so quickly over, you won't be let down by its quality.

In defense of Mr. Cahill less than lengthy book, this Crown Journeys offering is just one of an entire series of walking books, all of them brief. I doubt Tim had the option to plow beyond a contracted word count. That's fine with me. If he had given us the natural history of every flower on Mount Washburn, or any other feature in the park, this diminutive read could have easily mutated from a collection of cool essays into a two score set of encyclopedia.

Take it from a guy who has worked in park. This book is a great, albeit brief, introduction to Yellowstone.

A wonderful meditation on Yellowstone.......2005-12-23

Cahill's "Lost in My Own Backyard" is a different kind of book: rather than commenting on the sights and smells, the first short essay, entitled "Mount Washburn," describes current theories of the historical development of Yellowstone in terms of a catastrophic volcanic eruption, and observes "we're all just potential puffs of steam anyway, and the earth is might beyond our imagining." The book as a whole most closely resembles a cross between a travel narrative and a guidebook. Though it contains elements of the common guidebook (such as describing specific trails and hikes), the perspective is most often completely different from a standard trail guide. In fact, Cahill includes an appendix of excellent books on Yellowstone (include trail guides) that he considers essential for enjoying the park. I agree; they would be an indispensible addition to Cahill's book for anyone looking to explore the backcountry of the park.
The first half of the book - nine short essays - discuss short to moderate hikes in Yellowstone National Park with a twist: rather than the usual discussion of trail markers, precise distances, and the names of various peaks and viewpoints, Cahill focuses on the geological, thermal and ecological wonder of Yellowstone. His writing is a wonderful blend of humor, meditation on the natural beauties of the park, and half tongue-in-cheek yet deadly serious warnings about the dangers of the park and its wildlife.
The final three essays of the book are longer and discuss backcountry journeys Cahill and some of his neighbors have taken through Yellowstone. These more closely resemble common travel narratives, though they still maintain their guidebook-like feeling at some points.
This book is clearly a winner. Though Cahill frequently protests (in the words of Ferdinand Hayden) that "No language can do justice to the wonderful grandeur and beauty" of Yellowstone, his writing manages to capture something of the spirit of the natural wonders of the park, as well as the adventure of backcountry exploration. His writing is crisp, clear, and not particularly long-winded, which makes it a joyful relaxing read. Be warned: Lost in My Own Backyard may inspire you to go and get lost in America's backyard as well.

Whimsical Yellowstone.......2005-09-27

Lost in My Own Backyard enhanced my brief stay in Yellowstone. It informed without being heavy-handed and gave me an idea of some of the areas within the park that I know I'll never get to. The realities are expressed with humor, ("Whenever a creature makes an appearance near the road...there will be a traffic jam of hopeless proportions"). Cahill points out some of the sites that are off the beaten track, such as the petrified tree, that can be fun to see. His description of the Artist's Paintpots, however, failed to inspire in real life.
Lost in My Own Backyard doesn't pretend to be a guidebook. It's rather like sitting down with a whimsical uncle and looking at his photo album of Yellowstone National Park.

A Great Book!.......2000-08-23

In My Own Backyard by Judi Kurjian is great for any age. It is fascinating and scientific as it takes you back to the very beginnings of the earth. Each time-period rivets my attention. I love its captivating sense of mystery. I feel I am there in the excitement of each page. No other book I have ever read gives the depth of intrigue that In My Own Backyard gives. Each time I read it I get more and more joy. I never tire of reading it and looking at the beautiful illustrations that develop the haunting wonder of existence it captures on each page. I can't say enough about it. I wish every book were as good. I recommend it to everyone. There is no other book like it and I love it.

Book Description

An American Odyssey is the story of Jonathan Westervelt Warner, an entrepreneur, art collector, and philanthropist. The volume is both a record of the collection -- important American fine and decorative arts -- and a personality study of a warm-spirited and generous man. Jack Warner started to collect art to complement his family's Gulf States Paper Corporation headquarters in Alabama. Since 1970, the collection has become an unparalleled assembly of eighteenth-, nineteenth-, and twentieth-century American art; it also reflects Warner's strong interest in American history and his sense of patriotism and heritage.

Among the portrait, landscape, and history paintings in the collection are seminal works such as Progress by Asher B. Durand, The Falls of Kaaterskill by Thomas Cole, Above the Clouds at Sunrise by Frederic E. Church, and Niagara Falls by Albert Bierstadt. Also included are works by John James Audubon, James Peale, Mary Cassatt, Winslow Homer, and Andrew Wyeth, as well as masterworks by America's most famous craftspeople, such as Paul Revere and Duncan Phyfe. Engaging essays explore various facets of Warner and his collection: a fascination with George Washington and other patriotic symbols; a life-long interest in architecture; and the history of the nation as portrayed by its most important artists.

Bird Life in Wington.......2002-05-30

I read this book as a child and re-read it everytime I visited my grandmother's farm. It never fails to delight people of all ages in communicating the Christian based parables within it.
I was sorry to see that it is no longer in print. It is timeless.

Not for the birds.......2000-04-09

Hooray! I read this book almost 40 years ago and I am so happy to see it again. It contains great parables that kids of all ages will be able to relate to and remember. The issues are timeless and parents would be well advised to read it to and with their children.

Book Description

Siberia - infamous for its brutal winters, and larger than the entire United States - is not the only wilderness within the former Soviet Union. Harsh southern deserts, arctic islands, disputed border regions, and minority populations beligerent towards the their present government are spread all across the gigantic nation. Flying over Russia presents risks few other aircrews in time of peace must face. And while Russian combat aircraft are world renowned for their reliable performance, what happens when something does go wrong? Given their exceptional egress systems - odds are the pilot will eject safely, but how does he survive and advance under such potentially dire circumstances? MiG Pilot Survival: Russian Aircrew Survival Equipment and Instruction explores the components and details of Russian survival science with color photographs, in depth descriptions, and a full translation of the exact manual - with original illustrations intact - as used by Russian aircrews in time of crisis, Alan R. Wise is a consultant, writer, and photographer who has done work for the Department of Defense, Department of State, U.S. Army, U.S. Air Force, U.S. Air Force Museum, and the Kansas Cosmosphere and Space Center. He has served as a military advisor and has written numerous articles for magazines such as National Defense, Journal of Defense and Diplomacy, Armor, and Behind the Lines: The Journal of Special Operations. He is also the coauthor with Michael S. Breuninger of Jet Age Flight Helmets (see page 5 of this catalog). He resides in Middletown, Ohio and is an experienced collector specializing in flight gear, survival and special operations equipment, and military vehicles., over 180 color photographs and line drawings, 8 1/2" x 11"

Customer Reviews:

Good reference on specialized equipment.......2005-11-12

The book is a good reference source on specialized equipment. Its only limitation is that it covers only a narrow period of Soviet equipment. Even so, it is a good book for a collector of Soviet items, flight gear, or anyone with an interest in military survival gear.

Surprisingly interesting and detailed subject.......1999-10-05

With the largest wilderness areas in the world, hostile climates and unfriendly local populations, Russian pilots had better know effective survival techniques and have good equipment. And they do! A very refined science, Russian survival tech has saved countless pilots, and cosmonauts too! This is the only text to cover the subject and includes a complete translated copy of their issued manual using the original illustrations. Lots of color photos details all their gear.
