The Hard Way Home
Summary
A lifelong Alaskan, Steve Kahn moved at the age of nine from the “metropolis” of Anchorage to the foothills of the Chugach Mountains. A childhood of berry picking, fishing, and hunting led to a life as a big-game guide. When he wasn’t guiding in the spring and fall, he worked as a commercial fisherman and earned his pilot’s license, pursuits that took him to the far reaches of the Alaskan wilderness. He lived through some of the most important moments in the state’s history: the 1964 earthquake (the most powerful in US history), the Farewell Burn wildfire, the last king crab season in Kodiak Island waters, the Exxon Valdez oil spill and cleanup, and even the far-reaching effects of the 9/11 attacks. The essays in The Hard Way Home offer a view of Alaska that is at once introspective and adventurous. Here we find the state’s plants, animals, people, geography, politics, and culture considered from an intimate perspective, yielding hard-earned lessons about conservation, sustainability, and living well. An irrepressible guide, Kahn invites listeners to share his experiences and discoveries and to consider questions about a place, and a life, that are disappearing. The book is published by University of Nebraska Press. The audiobook is published by University Press Audiobooks. "Alaskan Kahn has written a series of heartfelt, yet understated, essays about life on the Last Frontier that will appeal to nature lovers and thoughtful outdoorsmen and outdoorswomen." (Booklist) "Perfect for outdoor enthusiasts, anyone wishing to learn about life in the wilderness, and those interested in Alaska history." (Pacific Northwest Quarterly) "A fine read for anyone who wants to understand Alaska better...highly recommended." (Midwest Book Review)

Low Mountains or High Tea
Summary
When Steve Sieberson and his wife unexpectedly found themselves in Britain with an entire summer on their hands, they readily agreed to avoid the usual tourist attractions, opting instead for a road trip to the UK’s far-flung national parks. As they set out, however, he envisioned bracing days of energetic hill-walking, while she assumed they would relax in tearooms and cozy pubs. Seldom planning more than a few days in advance, the two traversed the country in a rented Vauxhall, subjecting themselves to single-track lanes, diabolical signage, and whimsical advice from locals. They discovered a town called Mirthless, a place where cats’ eyes are removed, and a vibrating cottage, while at mealtimes they dove fearlessly into black pudding, Eton mess, and barely recognizable enchiladas. Meanwhile, after their initial attempts at hiking together nearly ended in disaster, Sieberson received dispensation to scramble alone to the highest point in each national park, as long as he was quick about it and left plenty of time for more sedentary pursuits. Low Mountains or High Tea dishes up the charms and eccentricities of rural Great Britain, as seen through the eyes of two Americans who never really knew what was coming next. The book is published by University of Nebraska Press. The audiobook is published by University Press Audiobooks. Praise for the book: “A book every armchair traveler will fall for.” (Brent Spencer, author of Rattlesnake Daddy: A Son’s Search for His Father)

Cycling Through Time
Summary
Cycling through Time is about second and third chances. Trevor Rogers is one of the few people in the world who has access to his own past. Trevor's wife, Susan Rogers, a physicist, works in a highly contained government facility. Trevor, married to Susan two years, had thought Susan's job to be battling climate change. That was a bit of a stretch. It was true that time travel could be used to control planetary weather. However, that was not the first use Trevor would have thought for it. Then again, Susan’s lips had been sealed. What could she have said about this top-secret project that sounded feasible? She had easy access to Top Secret materials. Trevor had no idea of Susan’s past when he married her. He was a simple person, he loved Susan, and that was all that mattered. She was not from Paradise - she was from all over the United States. She had always liked the hustle bustle of the city. She was always game for an adventure. Susan Rogers had not only fallen in love with Trevor, she had fallen in love with the small city of Paradise, Oregon. Susan could have excelled at any occupation. As a physicist, she was among the top minds of the world. Trevor had won her over with his childlike simplicity and dedication to her. The news of her pregnancy came the same week as news that Trevor had only a few months to live. The numbers all added up in her head. They did not look good. When their child reached a year, Trevor would be dead. Maybe two years earlier Susan would have accepted Trevor’s death and moved on. She had changed drastically in the wet but welcoming warmth of Paradise, Oregon. She cared more than she knew she could. It did not take long for Susan to make plans to smuggle Trevor into the Gate. Once she sent him to the past, they would both have to work smart and fast. When he returned from the past, they would hop into the gate together in their future.

Secrets from Underfoot
Summary
From award-winning author Guy Lozier and Laddy Harrington comes this story filled with evidence surrounding the ancient history of humans. Humans and dinosaurs lived together, but academia does not want us to know that fact. Academia has been hiding information about human's ancient history. Evidence, here in Oklahoma, shows that humans lived during the times of dinosaurs. Also, there is evidence abounding in the planet that shows that humans lived even before dinosaurs. The question we ask is: "Why do they feel that there is a need to hide our history from us?"
