Sprawling 150 miles across northern Idaho and northwestern Montana, the Cabinet Mountains are one of the little-known frontal ranges of the Rocky Mountains. Formed of ancient sedimentary rock and sculpted by massive glaciers during the Ice Age, the Cabinets hold inspiring peaks, breathtaking alpine lakes, unspoiled old-growth forests and rare wildlife. Now writer and inveterate hiker Dennis Nichols has penned the first-ever hiking and biking guide to the trails of this magnificent range. 
Designed to be an indispensable guide for hikers of all abilities, and including an appendix identifying trails suitable for mountain bikers, "Trails of the Wild Cabinets" includes detailed descriptions for 82 trails, numerous maps and photos and a features chart to help readers more easily find trails with major points of interest such as lakes, waterfalls, old-growth forest, lookouts and peaks. 
The book is organized in three sections to help readers more easily place the dozens of trails covered. The first section of the book is devoted to the trails of the Cabinet Mountains Wilderness, the 35-mile-long wilderness area established in 1964. The second section covers trails in the western, mostly Idaho, portion of the range – closest to Sandpoint – while the third section details trails of the southern range that stretches west of Montana’s Flathead Lake. 
Nicholls also provides an absorbing natural history for the range, along with several essays drawn from his own adventures wandering the Cabinets. Whether you’re a visitor to the region or long-time resident, "Trails of the Wild Cabinets" will help you explore and appreciate these little-known but truly beautiful wildlands.

For anyone who's ever gone to school -- as student or teacher -- Marianne Love's warm and humorous stories from 33 years teaching at Sandpoint High School in rural northern Idaho will kindle both memories and laughs. She's an English teacher, but Mrs. Love has done the math; she calculates during her career she taught some 4,500 students. And in touching all those kids, it seems, the teacher was the one who got the biggest education.

An astonishing landscape, scoured by ancient floods, Ice Age cataclysms violently transformed the Northwest thousands of years ago, leaving behind scores of flood features, many found nowhere else on Earth. The sheer enormity of the Ice Age floods is mind-boggling. The floods helped gouge out Idaho s largest and deepest lake, Pend Oreille, and sculpted the weird topography of eastern Washington. Following up on his first volume, On the Trail of the Ice Age Floods: A geological field guide to the Mid-Columbia Basin, geologist Bruce Bjornstad joined forces with colleague Eugene Kiver to guide readers upstream northward into the Channeled Scabland and northern Idaho. The authors explore numerous flood features and present dozens of trails and tours directing readers to experience, firsthand, the striking aftermath of the Ice Age floods. Explanations of 19 types of landforms Guides to 65 flood-formed features Thirty-nine hiking and biking trails Five driving tours and two aerial tours Both volumes of On the Trail of the Ice Age Floods make ideal companions when exploring the Ice Age Floods National Geologic Trail, named one of The 10 Most spectacular Geologic Sites in the continental United States by Smithsonian Magazine. Illustrated with 400 maps, schematics, photos and illustrations, including 32 pages of color plates, On the Trail of the Ice Age Floods provides a clear, concise and easily useable guide to the remarkable geologic record of the great Ice Age floods.

Erik Daarstad is one of the world’s great cinematographers. In a distinguished career spanning nearly 60 years and hundreds of award-winning motion pictures, the skill, beauty and sensitivity of his cinematography has become legend. This autobiography tells of not only his personal story and long career in the movies, but also follows the sweep of history through 80 years of a life fully lived. Born in 1935 in a small village in Norway, Daarstad's earliest memories are of the Nazi occupation of his homeland during World War II. Developing a fascination with photography and filmmaking as a teenager, he came to Los Angeles in 1954 to pursue an amazing career that has made Daarstad a witness to more than half a century of historic events and fascinating personalities. The book describes his love of movies and moviemaking as well as the many remarkable people he met along the way. They include sitting presidents Lyndon Johnson and Ronald Reagan, Robert Kennedy during his run for the presidency, Adlai Stevenson as U.N. Ambassador, artists and musicians including composer Aaron Copeland, Jane Goodall among the chimpanzees in Africa, and movie stars such as Paul Newman, John Wayne, Kim Novak and Natalie Wood. Daarstad's work on hundreds of documentaries took him around the nation and the world, as he filmed on locations from America's Deep South, to Greenland, Africa, South America and more. His work was intertwined with the history of those decades as he recorded aspects of the civil rights struggle, the Cold War, the assassinations in the 1960s, the hippie movement, the Vietnam War and the Iraq War. Daarstad's 1968 documentary, “Why Man Creates,” won an Academy Award; seven other films he worked on were nominated for Oscars as well. "The skill, beauty and sensitivity of Erik’s cinematography has become legend,” says the director and two-time Academy Award winner Terry Sanders. “This book is a wonderful treasure."
