Description: Twelve months of visits to a mountain lake tells more than twelve tales. The solitude found during a Wednesday in the winter is completely different from the chaos found on a Saturday in the summer. The seasons make one set of changes. We make the other. The combination produces a much more interesting set of experiences that can’t be revealed in one visit or in a page of some guidebook. Merritt Lake hides on the east side of the Cascade Mountains, between the crest of the range that partly protects it from Pacific storms, and halfway to the deserts and cities of Central Washington. The lake is protected by Nature more than legislation, within a land that is punctuated by avalanches and forest fires. Luckily, it is even better at producing quiet, serene moments. Nature’s residents range from rodents to raptors, and from delicate flowers to massive pine forests. Most of us drop by for peacefulness, exercise, fishing, or adventure, but some build campfires while forests burn, or fire guns during busy weekends. Get to know the fuller, richer story that so few of us take the opportunity to experience.

Description: To find out what really does lie beneath our feet, scientists from Denver's Museum of Nature and Science dug a 2,256 foot well in 1999 and what they found was a surprisingly drastic array of landscapes and animal life-it the very same spot. In addition to what they found in the sediment at that site, geologists were able to look at other findings in the area to pull together an amazing assessment of the geological history of Denver's Front Range.

Description: The History of the Central Brooks Range uses rare primary sources in order to provide a chronological examination and history of the Koyukuk region—including anthropological descriptions of the Native groups that make the Central Brooks Range and its surroundings their home. The history of early exploration, mining, and the Klondike all overflow into the story of the Koyukuk region and its rich cultural heritage, and William E. Brown provides a fascinating history of the extraordinary ways of survival employed by pioneers in this rugged northern land. Supplemented with detailed descriptions by Robert Marshall, The History of the Central Brooks Range is further enhanced by over 150 beautiful full-color illustrations—from early exploration to the creation of the Gates of the Arctic National Park—making this an essential volume for anyone interested in Alaska Native studies.

Description: In this enthralling collection of essays and full-color paintings, George and Elizabeth Ellison call upon a lifetime of outdoor experiences to illuminate the extraordinary natural history of the Blue Ridge mountains. George's absorbing essays offer insight into the region's geologic origins, plants, animals and related Cherokee and settler lore while Elizabeth's artwork provides an evocative journey through the natural heart of this celebrated region.
Gathered into two broad sections--Flora and Fauna--Blue Ridge Nature Journal is a masterful tribute to the natural wonder that permeates the Blue Ridge. In the first section, readers will learn why Jack-in-the-pulpit plants periodically change sexes, the defining characteristics of the mountain forests and how early settlers made bee hives and rabbit traps from hollow black gum trees. The second section includes details about the natural origins of the great Mythic Hawk and Mythic Serpent of the Cherokees, the demise of the timber wolf and the amusing spotted skunk, who does a handstand and looks between its legs before spraying an intruder.
George Ellison is the author of Mountain Passages: Natural and Cultural History of Western North Carolina and the Great Smoky Mountains. He lectures and conducts workshops about the natural and human history of the Blue Ridge. Elizabeth Ellison has exhibited and sold widely throughout the United States for more than thirty years, and her pen-and-ink drawings and watercolor washes have graced numerous publications.
