Divining, a Memoir in Trees
Essays exploring the intimate yet universal intersection of one human life with trees. A 2024 selection by the Sierra Club, Wisconsin Chapter Book Club Finalist for the Midwest Book Awards! In sixteen essays, each named after a species of tree, Maureen Dunphy explores the nature of human-arboreal relationships, and how each of these trees has—literally—served as a friend, a confidante, or a place to rest. The depth and diversity of these relationships are revealed through essays that are both intimate and universal, moving and informative.

Great Lakes Island Escapes
A comprehensive travelogue and guidebook exploring island adventures on many of the 135 islands accessible by ferry or bridge in the Great Lakes Basin. The Great Lakes Basin is the largest surface freshwater system on Earth. The more than 30,000 islands dotted throughout the basin provide some of the best ways to enjoy the Great Lakes.

All about the Great Lakes
"What do the ice ages, The Anishinaabe people, "New France," and freshwater shipwrecks and pirates all have in common? The Great Lakes! The chain of lakes, that mostly runs along the U.S.-Canadian border, includes Lakes Superior, Michigan, Huron, Erie, and Ontario. Read about the fascinating Petoskey stones, pieces of fossilized coral formed in the prehistoric sea. Join pirate captain "Roaring" Dan Seavey as he tricks ships into crashing on rocks, so he can steal their cargo. Follow the Ojibwe on their Seven Fires Migration that ends when they find manoomin (wild rice) near what is now Madeline Island. Where did the Great Lakes come from? What is happening to them now? Learn all this as well as how you can help the Great Lakes in the future!"--Page 4 of cover

Voices from the Word
This is a different kind of book about the Bible. The stories will ring a bell for many of you, but the details of the stories may not be known to you . . . yet! Their voices should sound familiar to you as you read their stories. You will meet kings, shepherds, fishermen, soldiers, desperados, and visionaries; mothers, fathers, teenagers, and babies; good people, and a few bad ones. They may be strangers to you, but as you get to know them, you may recognize their voices as not being that much different from your own or from the voices of people that you know. Some of them may already be familiar to you, but many others are those quieter voices of the minor characters in the major stories of the Bible.
