Twenty West
the great road across America
by Mac Nelson (email) / About the Author / Order Book

"Nelson is in good company as numerous legendary Americans once called the highway home. It was on US-20 that he watched Satchel Paige play ball at Chicago’s Wrigley Field as a child. Reclusive celebrated poet Emily Dickinson penned her poems at the family home, “The Homestead,” in Amherst, fifty miles from the great road’s beginnings in Boston. Stretching some 3,300 miles, from Boston to Newport, Oregon, US-20 stops a mere one mile from the Pacific Ocean. Historically, its east-to-west direction fits as explorers tended to go west. Even Henry David Thoreau once said, “Eastward I go only by force; westward I go free.” Go westward Nelson does. From New York state to Yellowstone National Park, Nelson visits the ridiculous and the sublime, from battle sites to Mount Rushmore to Carhenge, “a classic, unique, absurd American parody of Stonehenge…” Review by: Virginia Waters (ForeWord Magazine).

Yellowstone Wolves - A Chronicle of the Animal, the People, and the Politics
by Cat Urbigkit - About the Author - Website

"Yellowstone Wolves" provides a unique perspective on what is one of the most visible and contentious wildlife management experiments taking place in the American West today. It is a review of the discovery, persecution, and possible survival of the native wolves of the northern Rocky Mountains of the United States; it is a detailed chronicle of the debate over the legality and propriety of introducing wolves from Canada into Yellowstone National Park and central Idaho during the mid-1990s; and it is an account of the spread of the released Canadian wolves from Yellowstone and central Idaho into surrounding areas and the tensions created by these movements. Most of all, "Yellowstone Wolves" is a passionate and fact-filled illustration of the raging interplay that can develop among the many diverse interests that vest in experiments of this type. Insights gained from "Yellowstone Wolves" will be of value for dealing with innumerable other issues, environmental and beyond, where multiple perspectives converge, conflict, and demand and deserve sober, intelligent, and candid resolution.
