A River Runs through It and Other Stories

When Norman Maclean sent the manuscript of A River Runs through It and Other Stories to New York publishers, he received a slew of rejections. One editor, so the story goes, replied, “it has trees in it.” Forty years later, the title novella is recognized as one of the great American tales of the twentieth century, and Maclean as one of the most beloved writers of our time. The finely distilled product of a long life of often surprising rapture—for fly-fishing, for the woods, for the interlocked beauty of life and art—A River Runs through It has established itself as a classic of the American West. This new edition will introduce a fresh audience to Maclean’s beautiful prose and understated emotional insights. Elegantly redesigned, A River Runs through It includes a new foreword by Robert Redford, director of the Academy Award-winning 1992 film adaptation of River. Based on Maclean’s own experiences as a young man, the book’s two novellas and short story are set in the small towns and mountains of western Montana. It is a world populated with drunks, loggers, card sharks, and whores, but also one rich in the pleasures of fly-fishing, logging, cribbage, and family. By turns raunchy and elegiac, these superb tales express, in Maclean’s own words, “a little of the love I have for the earth as it goes by.”

On this historic recording produced by the American Museum of Natural History, you will hear the mysteriously musical howls, barks and growls of wild wolves. Actor and conservationist Robert Redford also tells the story of the wolf you never knew, debunking some commonly held myths. 1 cassette.

When horses outlive their usefulness to humans, they are often treated as disposable auctioned off and sent to the slaughterhouse. But thanks to the work of rescue organizations and horse sanctuaries, many of these formerly unwanted horses are enjoying genuine appreciation and newfound freedom. The horses in this book were abused, neglected, abandoned, rejected. They are lame, old, blind, or just unattractive according to modern ideas of beauty. Some are crossbreeds with no clearly defined bloodline. Others are wild horses that have been forced off public lands. They are enjoying a second chance to live a meaningful and dignified life. They are here to teach us different measures of value, measures we have almost forgotten. To document these remarkable creatures, acclaimed equine photographer Tony Stromberg traveled to sanctuaries across North America. While many horse books focus on exotic, flashy breeds or famous thoroughbreds, Tony chose to capture the soul of working-class” equines many enjoying love and freedom for the first time. Through gorgeous photography, The Forgotten Horses reveals the profound spirit of these amazing animals and honors the people and sanctuaries that have offered them a well-deserved home.

Review\n"The author has devoted a lifetime to learning and mastering the ways of the wilderness. . . . His concepts have been proven by the more than 10,000 students who have successfully participated in his wilderness laboratories." —Booklist\n“My first how-to survival book; I carried it around as a teen, learned to make cordage, tried to start a fire from scratch, tried to make a bow, dug a solar still and had a great deal of fun with it. It was always in my car. Somehow, I still own it." —Lou Cadle, Goodreads\n“Extraordinarily informative. As someone who reads and practices a lot of the skills in these books, this definitely stretched the limits of what I already knew and taught me a lot while staying succinct enough to not put me to sleep as so many books like this are prone to do. Definitely recommended for any survival enthusiast." — Dante Carlisle, Goodreads\n"The author has devoted a lifetime to learning and mastering the ways of the wilderness. . . .
