<p>Standing Up Country, the late historian Dr. C. Gregory Cramptons classic biography of the elaborately carved sandstone country of southeastern Utah and northeastern Arizona, returns to print in this lavishly illustrated, revised edition. This land of unparalleled grandeur is one of the earths great places, and its recorded history is as old as the United States itself. The original edition inspired a whole new generation of landscape photographers to discover the canyon country for themselves, and this colorful new edition includes some of their most spectacular work. Standing Up Country also features rare historical maps and photographs, many of which have never appeared in print before.</p>

Trout Magic is a warm, joyous, and maverick look at trout fishing and its attendant tall tales, strange happenings, and all-around fishing lore. Traver recounts the story of a mysterious "dancing fly, " speaks pointedly about "kiss-and-tell" fishermen, debunks fly fishermen as the "world's greatest snobs, " lets us in on the fishing story Life missed, and takes us along on his strangest fishing trip. We meet the unforgettable Danny McGinnis, guide, and other choice characters and events from his anything-but-ordinary fishing trips. Traver even has some new angles on women anglers and does a free piece of tongue-in-cheek literary sleuthing into Ernest Hemingway's story "Big Two-Hearted River."There's enough trout magic here to rub off on every reader -- man, woman, or child -- as Robert Traver weaves his inimitable storytelling spell. Trout Magic is a marvelous catch of wit, wisdom, and anecdote sure to delight everyone who enjoys a master storyteller who just happens to write here about his wonderful world of trout fishing.

<p>Gary Holthaus masterfully brings us the American West in a poem of the land, a rhythmic tale of heroics, protest, and lament. Absorbing verse joins us with the undaunted spirits of old soldiers, hunters, and scouts, and nourishes us generously with the rich feast of our past.</p>
