After spending twenty-three years in the high-pressure world of real estate sales, Don Oliver was a prime candidate for a midlife crisis. However, instead of buying a fancy motorcycle and getting a trophy girlfriend, Oliver chose to take the high road and pursue a new career. So Oliver moved his family to the mountains of Colorado and became a fly-fishing guide. Witty and wise, Flies and Ties takes you on one man's unforgettable journey from the corporate rat race to a challenging new career -- and a new outlook on life.

The population bomb did not fizzle. It blew up. It is still blowing up. Man Swarm by Dave Foreman shows our population explosion is ongoing and is the main driver behind the biodiversity crisis-mass extinction, scalping wildlands, and greenhouse gas pollution. And he offers bold solutions to our plight.

This is how so many travelers pass through the desert Southwest: Their instinctual GPS steers them clear of any complex community encounters and heads them straight toward Utah's Canyonlands, or parks them at the Four Corners Monument to take a photograph with their loved ones standing on the only point in the continental US where four state borders converge, then nudges them on toward that great dip in the road, the Grand Canyon. If you follow this itinerary, you may see the sights but, sadly, you'll miss the experience. This book isn't a destination guide. It's like an outfitter's guarantee to his customers that you paid good money for more than just a tour.

Longbow tells the wild adventures of Jay and Karen Campbell, who chase big game with the longbow in Australia, Alaska, Hawaii, and the Caribbean. Jay Campbell weaves their complicated life and deadly encounters with big rivers and big animals through these stories, while still showing us the joy is in the journey. E. Donnall Thomas Jr. says Longbow is "sure-footed prose," Allen Jones calls it "damn fine writing," and Gene Wensel says "Campbell writes vividly."

M. John Fayhee's wayward wanderings have seen him illegally backpacking through the world's deepest gorge in China, paddling across crocodile-infested waters in a leaky Zodiac in the Dominican Republic, rafting the Chattooga River with the banjo-playing boy from "Deliverance" and coming face-to-face with a giant statue of Christ in Colorado's San Juan Mountains. Fayhee has recounted many of these off-the-social-grid mis-adventures in his monthly "Smoke Signals" column for the Mountain Gazette, of which he is the editor. Fayhee has distilled his favorite "Smoke Signals" tales into his latest book: "Smoke Signals: Wayward Journeys Though the Old Heart of the New West."

For one hundred years a network of lovers of wild places has fought to save wild things for their own sake, and has worked to set aside National Parks, Wilderness Areas, and other protected areas as the strongest tools to save wild things. But now, warns renowned environmentalist Dave Foreman, this old network of wilderness and wildlife conservationists is being undermined and weakened by "environ-resourcists" -- those who say conservation is about people, not wild things. In the second in the "For the Wild Things" series, Dave Foreman shows those who love wild things why and how they need to TAKE BACK CONSERVATION.

Take Back Conservation

Dave Foreman tells the story of the increasingly harsh and bitter fight between two warring conservation movements, vying over the fate of the last wild things in North America during the Twentieth Century. He lays out our hard choice between a Twenty-first Century world wholly dominated by Man or one where we not only save the last wild things, but also build upon growing rewilding efforts and networks.

In 1994, Don Oliver took a leap of faith and moved his family from Texas to Colorado to became a fly fishing guide. Since then, he has gone bald, watched his mustache turn solid gray, developed patience, and started to write about fly fishing. The Joys of Being a Fly Fishing Guide includes short stories and rewritten columns that recap some of his most interesting days on the water. Some are pure fiction while others are based on fact, with a little bit of Don's definition of the truth added.
