Coyote Soul, Raven Heart, Reg Darling's recently reworked collection of short prose pieces, defies ready classification. Yes, it includes a lot of hunting stories, but they are about hunting in the same way that Turgenev's Hunting Sketches are about hunting-concise glimpses into the people and places that matter to the author. Darling's smooth prose should be of interest to anyone who appreciates the complexity of nature and struggles to define our own place within it.E. Donnall Thomas Jr, co-editor, Traditional Bowhunter Magazine, author of Language of Wings and Have Bow Will TravelAs a new hunter and as a writer now learning to write about hunting, I dove into hunting books trying to learn everything I could about this new pursuit and this new writing genre. In the last few years, I've read a stack of hunting books, and one book, this very book in your hands, transcended all the others. In my humble opinion, this is the best hunting book I've read, bar none. What makes Coyote Soul, Raven Heart so stunning? Some of it is Darling's powerful use of chronology as we move fluidly around time and place. Some of it is Darling's crisp prose. Some of it is Darling's philosophical wondering on his life in bowhunting. Some of it is his ethics in this blood activity. When you put all of these together, Coyote Soul, Raven Heart rises off the page and takes you into Darling's corner of the world, Allegheny National Forest, into Darling's mind, into your own heart. Darling says that a deer kill is a gift from the land. This book, too, is a gift from the land, from the deer, from the forest, from Darling.Sean Prentiss, author of Finding Abbey and CrosscutNever, since the Civil War has America been this divided. A certain faction embraces "the American Way" as if it is set in stone, unalterable, regardless of how destructive it is now seen to be. For others like Reg Darling, "contemporary life has the look and feel of a clearcut". The difference, I believe, is the "long hours in the woods" Reg has spent hunting and wandering. There he's developed the "knee-jerk courtesy" and an understanding for "the subtle deep pleasure of good work", so missing from our current collective reality. Coyote Soul, Raven Heart is Reg's story: the long-ago and recent past, the present, all applying to a possible future in which all life can thrive.Brooke Williams, author of Open Midnight and Halflives: Reconciling Work and WildnessA profoundly inspiring work, Coyote Soul, Raven Heart engages us in an examination and celebration of the hunt, its essential role in sustaining our physical and spiritual well-being, and summons deep reflection into our relationship with Earth and the wildness in our souls.Barry Cahoon, a bowhunter rooted deeply into the Northeast Kingdom of VermontOn its surface, Reg Darling's Coyote Soul, Raven Heart: Meditations of a Hunter-Wanderer is a book about hunting; and if hunting is a reader's primary interest, there is plenty here to keep one turning the pages. On a far deeper level, however, this expanded second edition of Coyote Soul, Raven Heart is a book about reconnecting with the sacredness of the wild - be it wild places, wild animals, or the wild recesses of one's own heart. While there are many ways to journey to that end, Darling's chosen method of traditional archery lends dramatic impact and a sharpened sense of poignancy to his personal pilgrimage into the primordial mists of hunting's origins and his own searching spirit. That journey will appeal to any reader who has ever stopped to contemplate nature's mysteries and humanity's place in that enduring puzzle.Jude Dippold, author of Crossings

A psychological exploration of how the love of nature can coexist in our psyches with apathy toward environmental destruction. Virtually everyone values some aspect of the natural world. Yet many people are surprisingly unconcerned about environmental issues, treating them as the province of special interest groups. Seeking to understand how our appreciation for the beauty of nature and our indifference to its destruction can coexist in us, Shierry Weber Nicholsen explores dimensions of our emotional experience with the natural world that are so deep and painful that they often remain unspoken. The Love of Nature and the End of the World is a gathering of meditations and collages. Its evocations of our emotional attachment to the natural world and the emotional impact of environmental deterioration are meant to encourage individual and collective reflection on a difficult dilemma. Nicholsen draws on work in environmental philosophy and ecopsychology; the writings of psychoanalytic thinkers such as Wilfred Bion, Donald Meltzer, and D. W. Winnicott; and ideas from Buddhist and Sufi traditions. She shows how our emotional responses to the vulnerabilities of the natural world range from intense caring and compassion, through grief and outrage, to diffuse depression. Individual chapters focus on silence and the process whereby we move from the unspoken to the spoken, the love of nature, the "perceptual reciprocity" with the natural world to which we might mature, beauty in the human and natural realms, the psychological impact of the destruction of the natural world, and reflections on the future.

For readers of Cabin Porn and Your Cabin in the Woods, this illustrated collection of odes to the outdoors is the perfect escape into nature. Forest Life collects George Washington Sears' timeless writing about the joys of exploring the wilderness, edited for a modern audience. In text both practical and inspirational, Sears' provides enduring wisdom about trips into the woods and lakes, including equipment, campfires, fishing, camp cooking, traveling light, and canoes. The original "forest bather," Sears wanted others to enjoy the woods as he did. He published Woodcraft in 1884 to help prepare skillful, self-reliant woodsman and to extol the restorative power of nature. In addition to Woodcraft, Forest Life contains many of his articles from Forest and Stream, as well as his nature poetry. Sears is especially eloquent about canoeing, which he helped popularize with published tales of his adventures. In 1883, when he was 61 years old and suffering from tuberculosis, he used a 9-foot, 10-1/2 pound canoe to travel 266 miles through the Adirondacks, writing, "The easy, gentle rocking of the canoe was the best incentive to drowsiness I ever found, and by night or day was nearly certain to send me into dreamland." This edition features period etchings of scenes, people, flora, and fauna of the Adirondacks, and is the ideal gift book for the outdoor enthusiast.
