Boundary Layer
In atmospheric science, a boundary layer is the band of air nearest the ground. In the Pacific Northwest, the boundary layer teems with lichens, mosses, ferns, fungi, and diminutive plants. It's an alternate, overlooked universe whose denizens author Kem Luther calls the stegnon, the terrestrial equivalent of oceanic plankton. In Boundary Layer, Luther takes a voyage of discovery through the stegnon, exploring the life forms that thrive there and introducing readers to the scientists who study them. With a keen ear for conversation and an eye for salient detail, the author brings a host of characters to life, people as unique and intriguing as the species inhabiting the stegnon. A pair of pa...

Cottonwood Roots
As the author journeys from Nebraska to New York State in search of his ancestry, his findings along the way give rise to diverse reflections--from courthouse architecture to "proving up" land claims. The reader becomes a party to thoughtful discourse on American heritage and collective memory.
The Next Generation Gap
In the 1960s, during an era of rock music and war protests, the American media coined the phrase "generation gap" to underline the increasing animosity between older and younger Americans. In this book, the author explores a deep cultural pattern in US history that results in periodic generation gaps and discovers that the youth movement of the 1960s, far from being the first of these classic American confrontations, was actually the fifth. The Next Generation Gap presents a persuasive picture of American political, economic, and cultural life as the nation stumbles toward its sixth generational revolution.
The Next Generation Gap
In the 1960s, during an era of rock music and war protests, the American media coined the phrase "generation gap" to underline the increasing animosity between older and younger Americans.

The author discovers that the youth movement of the 1960s, far from being the first of these classic American confrontations, was actually the fifth. He finds evidence that a new generation will soon disturb the social consensus by hijacking Internet and electric vehicle technologies. The Next Generation Gap sketches a persuasive picture of American political, economic, and cultural life as the nation stumbles toward its sixth generational revolution.
In Search of Susanna
On a summer day in 1980 in Niederfeulen, Luxembourg, Suzanne Bunkers pored over parish records of her maternal ancestors, immigrants to the rural American Midwest in the mid 1800s. Suddenly, chance led her to the name Simmerl and to the missing piece in the genealogical puzzle that had brought her so far: Susanna Simmerl, Bunkers' paternal great-great-grandmother, who had given birth to an illegitimate daughter in 1856 before coming to America. Finding Susanna was the catalyst for Bunkers' intensely personal book, which blends history, memory, and imagination into a drama of two women's lives within their multigenerational family.
The Big Empty
The gruesome story of the devastation of buffalo herds in the late nineteenth century has become uncomfortably familiar. A less familiar story, but a hopeful one for the future, is Ken Zonteks account of Native peoples efforts to repopulate the Plains with a healthy, viable bison population.

When I Was Greek: Poems
When I Was Greek is the author's selection of poems written over a forty-year period. Some were published in literary magazines, but most are new to print. The Catslide Mass section was a set of reflections based on five of the mass responses (named after the catslide roof on the author's house). Poems in the second section arose from reflections on classical Greek literature. The ones in the third section (Quondam Physics) were triggered by thoughts on the natural and physical world. The last section contains poems written with children in mind, either as subjects or as readers/hearers.
