Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What is beyond the beauty of a piece of rock? How does a stand-alone rock come into being naturally? The book presents more than 100 pieces of stories for various rocks, most of which originate from desert, beach, and hillside in Southern California. The author points out the observables with the naked eye and explains their occurrences, putting together the principles of physics, chemistry, biology, and geology, which you know as common sense but the application of which you may not yet think about. To name just a few examples: it describes features of nature’s destruction and rejuvenation in sediments and carbonates; it tells the origin of geode, agate, chalcedony, and volcanic bombs; it argues natural carving and piercing of quartz through cyclic water freezing and ice thawing in the desert; it ponders ventifact and varnish as well as lichen (algae/fungi) growth on desert rocks; it considers fracturing and cracking in shaping the rocks by decompression expansion due to erosion and cooling contraction due to tectonic uplifting; and it addresses liquefaction by ground shaking and erratic sediment distribution by ice rafting and climate change.

Book excerpt: This book shows features of rocks and tells their life stories. It is a sequel to a 2018-publication of similar nature. The current version with a different subtitle compiles over 250 new pictures of specimens and outcrops, spread into six chapters: Silica, 1; Carbonate, 29; Hard Rock, 51; Soft Rock, 81; Fantasy, 111; Miscellany, 141. How does one cultivate appreciation of rocks beyond their beauty? The author describes what readers may see in rocks with the naked eye; and for each specimen, he tells an evolutionary story anchored on familiar basic principles in biology, chemistry, physics, and geology; and he offers ways to connect dots. Rightly or wrongly, some narratives are original and thought-provoking. The author wishes to inspire readers to think and render opinions for themselves. The author, Tien C. Lee, is an Emeritus Professor of Geophysics/Hydrogeology at the University of California, Riverside.

Book excerpt: A Summer To Remember Fourteen-year-old Clay Lancaster has been dreaming for years of the adventure he calls The Big Wander -- a summer in the Southwest with his older brother, Mike, searching for their uncle Clay. When Mike decides to return home to Seattle and the girlfriend he left behind, Clay chooses to stay on and continue the search on his own. Following a tip about his uncle, he heads out into the most remote canyons of the Navajo reservation, with only a burro and a dog named Curly for company. Clay loses his heart to the vast, rugged land -- and to an adventurous girl with a long, dark braid -- but finds his uncle in big trouble. Can Clay pull off a risky plan to save his uncle -- and the wild horses Uncle Clay has put his own life in jeopardy to protect?

He writes absorbingly about the rocks, hills and walls, and the range of colours, the animals he rubs shoulders with, and about subjects which excite him, such as the exotic wild flowers, ancient ruins, early morning birdsong, and the smell of whiskey in historic pubs. A hunter and gatherer of information and lore on the Burren, the author ferrets out little-known facts and weaves them together to create these carefully distilled essays.

Book excerpt: From the internationally bestselling creator of Wreck This Journal... wan·der verb \ˈwän-dər\ to walk/explore/amble in an unplanned or aimless way with a complete openness to the unknown Several years ago when Keri Smith, bestselling author of Wreck This Journal, discovered cryptic handwritten notations in a worn copy of Walt Whitman’s Leaves of Grass, her interest was piqued. Little did she know at the time that those simple markings would become the basis of a years-long, life-changing exploration into a mysterious group known only as The Wander Society, as well as the subject of this book. Within these pages, you’ll find the results of Smith’s research: A guide to the Wander Society, a secretive group that holds up the act of wandering, or unplanned exploring, as a way of life. You’ll learn about the group’s mysterious origins, meet fellow wanderers through time, discover how wandering feeds the creative mind, and learn how to best practice the art of wandering, should you choose to accept the mission.

Book excerpt: Distanced from partner Marsha and her daughter Matty by physical and psychic wanderings into geographic places, historical scenes, other lives… the narrator Blank dances solo with his unavoidable other, claiming to alert her to opaque parts of his nature and to her own: on clinging and running, victim and perpetrator, freedom and fundamentalism, splitting and taking responsibility… and on Samsara, the trivial endless recurrence. The Wandering is Blank’s ruminating travelogue, tainted-love diary, mythic karmic romance, meditation on being and becoming, conscience and commitment. The Wandering presents a ‘spiritual seeker’ who ‘wants to transcend his own ego’; and who, while escaping his domineering girlfriend Marsha (in Jungian terms a key anima figure) seeks to highlight her ‘complexes’ by composing for her a striking variety of factual, imaginative, geographic and metaphysical ruminations. Predictably, the more he evades the more he’s forced to engage with his own pretensions. Marsha, a failed soldier, alienated from her father, is gripped by the animus as perpetrator-victim complex, to be enacted on Blank and other ‘failed men’ in her life. Thereby, Blank addresses the anarchic teen daughter Matty, who, in a fight with the mother (as a negative anima figure) takes on ‘parental sins’ – suggesting there’s a chance for psychological progress between generations. Blank’s parallel iterations of he, Marsha and Matty in exotic scenes, other lives, ensures their entwined karma (unresolved psychic material) gets re-examined. Overall, this entertaining and ambitious text affirms that there can be no personal evolution without creatively engaging unconscious elements: in the present, in childhood, and through multiple incarnations.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fleeing a failed marriage and haunted by ghosts of his past, Luis Alberto Urrea jumped into his car several years ago and headed west. Driving cross-country with a cat named Rest Stop, Urrea wandered the West from one year's Spring through the next. Hiking into aspen forests where leaves "shiver and tinkle like bells" and poking alongside creeks in the Rockies, he sought solace and wisdom. In the forested mountains he learned not only the names of trees—he learned how to live. As nature opened Urrea's eyes, writing opened his heart. In journal entries that sparkle with discovery, Urrea ruminates on music, poetry, and the landscape. With wonder and spontaneity, he relates tales of marmots, geese, bears, and fellow travelers. He makes readers feel mountain air "so crisp you feel you could crunch it in your mouth" and reminds us all to experience the magic and healing of small gestures, ordinary people, and common creatures. Urrea has been heralded as one of the most talented writers of his generation. In poems, novels, and nonfiction, he has explored issues of family, race, language, and poverty with candor, compassion, and often astonishing power. Wandering Time offers his most intimate work to date, a luminous account of his own search for healing and redemption.

Book excerpt: The acclaimed author of The End of Nature takes a three-week walk from his current home in Vermont to his former home in the Adirondacks and reflects on the deep hope he finds in the two landscapes. Bill McKibben begins his journey atop Vermont’s Mt. Abraham, with a stunning view to the west that introduces us to the broad Champlain Valley of Vermont, the expanse of Lake Champlain, and behind it the towering wall of the Adirondacks. “In my experience,” McKibben tells us, “the world contains no finer blend of soil and rock and water and forest than that found in this scene laid out before me—a few just as fine, perhaps, but none finer. And no place where the essential human skills—cooperation, husbandry, restraint—offer more possibility for competent and graceful inhabitation, for working out the answers that the planet is posing in this age of ecological pinch and social fray.” The region he traverses offers a fine contrast between diverse forms of human habitation and pure wilderness. On the Vermont side, he visits with old friends who are trying to sustain traditional ways of living on the land and to invent new ones, from wineries to biodiesel. After crossing the lake in a rowboat, he backpacks south for ten days through the vast Adirondack woods. As he walks, he contemplates the questions that he first began to raise in his groundbreaking meditation on climate change, The End of Nature: What constitutes the natural? How much human intervention can a place stand before it loses its essence? What does it mean for a place to be truly wild? Wandering Home is a wise and hopeful book that enables us to better understand these questions and our place in the natural world. It also represents some of the best nature writing McKibben has ever done.
