The first book to look at wilderness in the northeastern US, Wilderness Comes Home features a new approach based on ecological reserve design to protect biological diversity, rewilding and restoring lands to wilderness, and embedding wilderness in a landscape of sustainably managed farmland and forestland. It addresses major theoretical and practical aspects of this important issue -- whether, why, and how to reestablish wilderness areas in the Northeast. Although Western wilderness models already exist for undeveloped areas, Eastern models are still evolving. Protection and social management are being urged not for the "forest primeval" but for recovering areas, in which returning species such as moose and peregrine falcons roam over new growth softwoods and hardwoods, interspersed with the stone walls that once marked field boundaries.

Everyone warned Kobie Kruger that being the wife of a game warden at a remote ranger station in South Africa's largest national park would be difficult. The heat would be challenging, malaria would be a constant danger, her husband, Kobus, would have to be away for long stretches of time, there were no schools or nearby doctors for their three daughters, and of course, the place teemed with wild animals. Yet for Kobie and her family, the 17 years in South Africa's Kruger National Park were the most magical --and occasionally most hair-raising --of their lives. When the Kruger family first arrived at the ranger station, Kobie felt she had found heaven on earth. Sunshine glowed in the lush garden where fruitbats hung in the sausage trees; hippos basked in the glittering waters of the Letaba River; storks and herons perched along the shore. That same night, she awoke to find a python slithering silently across her bedroom floor. It was the perfect introduction to the wonders and terrors that awaited her. As the Krugers settled in, they became accustomed to living in the midst of ravishing splendour and daily surprises. A honey badger they nursed back to health rampaged playfully through the house. Sneaky hyenas stole blankets and cookware. Ordinarily placid elephants grew foul-tempered and violent in the summer heat. And one terrible day, the shadow of tragedy fell across the family when a lion attacked Kobus in the bush and nearly killed him. But nothing prepared the Krugers for the adventure of raising an orphaned prince. The lion cub was only a few days old and on the verge of death when they found him alone in the wilds. But Leo, as the girls promptly named the cub, survived on loads of love and bottles of fat-enriched milk, and was soon a rambunctious member of the family. Writing with deep affection and luminous prose, Kobie Kruger captures the mystery of untamed Africa -- its fathomless skies, soulful landscapes, and most of all, its astonishing array of animals. By turns funny and heartbreaking, engaging and alarming, "The Wilderness Family" is an unforgettable memoir of a woman, her family, and the amazing game park they called home for 17 incredible years.

During the nineteenth century European settlers transformed the environment of New Zealand's South Island. They diverted streams and drained marshes, burned native vegetation and planted hedges and grasses, stocked farms with sheep and cattle and poured on fertiliser. In Home in the Howling Wilderness Peter Holland undertakes a deep history of that settlement to answer key questions about New Zealand's ecological transformation. Did the settlers pursue farming regardless of the ecological consequences? Did they impose European plants, animals and farming methods on a very different environment? And did their efforts lead to the erosion, rabbit plagues and declining soil fertility of the late nineteenth century? Drawing on letter books and ledgers, diaries and journals, Peter Holland reveals how the first European settlers learned about their new environment: talking to Maori and other Pakeha, observing weather patterns and the shifting populations of rabbits, reading newspapers and going to lectures at the Mechanics' Institute. Examining the knowledge they built up by these routes, Holland lays out how the settlers grappled with droughts and floods, worked out which plants and animals made sense, and worked out how to beat erosion and rabbits. As the New Zealand environment threw up surprise after surprise, the settlers who succeeded in farming were those who listened closely to the environment. They learned to predict weather more accurately, to farm differently with different soil types, to use different techniques of land management. In its depth and breadth of research, and with a visual component of 16 photographs and 22 figures, Home in the Howling Wilderness is a major new account of Pakeha and the land in New Zealand.

The nature writing of Gary Ferguson arises out of intimate experience. He trekked 500 miles through Yellowstone to write Walking Down the Wild and spent a season in the field at a wilderness therapy program for Shouting at the Sky. He journeyed 250 miles on foot for Hawks Rest and followed through the seasons the first fourteen wolves released into Yellowstone National Park for The Yellowstone Wolves. But nothing could prepare him for the experience he details in his new book. The Carry Home is both a moving celebration of the outdoor life shared between Ferguson and his wife Jane, who died tragically in a canoeing accident in northern Ontario in 2005, and a chronicle of the mending, uplifting power of nature. Confronting his unthinkable loss, Ferguson set out to fulfill Jane's final wish: the scattering of her ashes in five remote, wild locations they loved and shared. The act of the carry home allows Ferguson the opportunity to ruminate on their life together as well as explore deeply the impactful presence of nature in all of our lives. Theirs was a love borne of wild places, and The Carry Home offers a powerful glimpse into how the natural world can be a critical prompt for moving through cycles of immeasurable grief, how bereavement can turn to wonder, and how one man rediscovered himself in the process of saying goodbye.
