Wild Things, Wild Places
In Wild Things, Wild Places actress, author, and conservationist Jane Alexander offers a moving first-hand assessment of what is being done to help the planet’s most at risk animals. In short reflections on her travels to some of the most remote and forbidding areas, she describes the ways in which human incursions into the natural world are destroying wildlife around the globe. With a clear eye and a keen grasp of the issues, Alexander highlights the remarkable work being done in the fields of science and conservation, and introduces readers to the field biologists, zoologists, environmentalists, and conservationists—the “prophets in the wilderness”—who have committed themselves to this essential effort. Inspiring and enlightening, Wild Things, Wild Places is a deeply personal look at the changing face of wildlife on planet Earth.

Teresa Hubbard, Alexander Birchler
Teresa Hubbard and Alexander Birchler invent stories. And they create their photographic sequences as if they were putting together a film in which to tell these stories. Each sequence has a script, specially chosen actors, and purpose-built sets in which even the smallest details are attended to with great care. But each picture also contains a second narrative that asks questions about how a story arises, how it is constructed. The resulting uncertainties in Hubbard and Birchler's videos and photographs is methodical and deliberate, and persistently apparent in the range of works reproduced in Wild Walls, including two complete video works from 2001, "Detached Building" and "Eight."
Wild Hope

Carols beautifully crafted narrative makes you feel as though you are on the journey with her. She will have you laughing one moment and crying the next. Her heartbreaking pain from some of the unexpected events that shattered her world spill out on the pages challenging you to a deeper faith. Her gritty determination and refusal to become bitter or give up will infuse you with the same wild hope that permeates her life. Carols writings are honest, and transparent, encouraging you to reflect on your own journey and to open your heart and life to a God who is at work through each and every season of life.

Into the Wild
With an introduction by novelist David Vann In April 1992, Chris McCandless set off alone into the Alaskan wild. He had given his savings to charity, abandoned his car and his possessions, and burnt the money in his wallet, determined to live a life of independence. Just four months later, Chris was found dead. An SOS note was taped to his makeshift home, an abandoned bus. In piecing together the final travels of this extraordinary young man's life, Jon Krakauer writes about the heart of the wilderness, its terribly beauty and its relentless harshness. Into the Wild is a modern classic of travel writing, and a riveting exploration of what drives some of us to risk more than we can afford to lose.
Dr. Eleanor's Book of Common Ants of Chicago
Did you know that for every human on earth, there are about one million ants? They are among the longest-lived insects—with some ant queens passing the thirty-year mark—as well as some of the strongest. Fans of both the city and countryside alike, ants decompose dead wood, turn over soil (in some places more than earthworms), and even help plant forests by distributing seeds. But while fewer than thirty of the nearly one thousand ant species living in North America are true pests, we cringe when we see them marching across our kitchen floors. No longer! In this witty, accessible, and beautifully illustrated guide, Eleanor Spicer Rice, Alex Wild, and Rob Dunn metamorphose creepy-crawly re...
Wild Abandon
Examines how interactions between ecology and psychoanalysis shifted the focus of the American wilderness narrative from environment to identity.
Wild Democracy
What are the political, economic, and cultural implications of living on a full planet in an age of limits? How can seven-and-a-half billion people flourish on our one planet? What might 'one planet' living actually look like? And can we come together to build resilient, localised, sufficiency-based economies as carbon capitalism continues to deteriorate? In this third book of his collected essays, Samuel Alexander offers deeper insight into the themes of degrowth, permaculture, and voluntary simplicity, which he explored in earlier texts.
