With roots in the Pines going back 200 years or more, many are deeply committed to preserving tradition, while others are relative newcomers who came to visit and stayed to fight for the future of a wilderness at risk. What the ‘People of the Pines’ share in common, is a boundless passion for this unique and storied land" (quoted material from jacket flap). A beautiful portrait of the Pines and its people.

Bloom, Steve Elephant
San Francisco, California, U.S.A. Chronicle Books Llc 2006 0811857271 / 9780811857277 First Edition Hard Cover New New Folio - over 12" - 15" tall
New hardcover book in new dust jacket...book and jacket are still sealed in publisher's original, unopened shrinkwrap; 224 pages; profusely illustrated with color photographs. "Best-selling photographer Steve Bloom follows up his wildly successful book 'Untamed' with a tribute to the largest land mammals on earth. Twelve years in the making, this joyous celebration features elephants from the wildest reaches of Botswana to the teeming cities of India. With aerial shots of the herds in motion, dramatic interactions between angry males, and tender moments between mothers and their calves, this collection features an intimate look at these animals who, though seemingly as distinct from humans as a creature could be, share surprisingly similar characteristics: They have family structures like our own, they show loyalty and allegiance to those closest to them, they grieve as well as express joy, and-- as these photographs show-- they have strongly individual personalities. Outdoor Photography magazine called Steve Bloom’s photos, "the best case yet for the defense of the earth." See for yourself why these creatures-- once found in nearly fifty countries and now on the endangered species list-- are, according to Bloom himself, "the true kings of the jungle."

Dohner, Janet Vorwald Livestock Guardians: Using Dogs, Donkeys and Llamas to Protect Your Herd (Storey's Working Animals)
North Adams, Massachusetts, U.S.A. Storey Publishing 2007 1580176968 / 9781580176965 First Edition Hard Cover Fine 4to - over 9¾" - 12" tall
Fine hardcover book with pictorial cover, no dust jacket (as issued); never having been read and as new, the book is clean, tight, square, and free of any markings; the boards of the book (cover) show very light shelf wear; 229 pages including index; well-illustrated with 16 pages of color photographs as well as numerous black & white drawings and photographs. "The number of hobby farmers in the United States is steadily rising. At the same time, predators are increasing in number and range. These predators pose a serious threat to both farm animals and the financial well-being of the farmers who raise them. Fortunately, there's a solution that is low cost, nonviolent, and highly effective: livestock guardian animals. Livestock Guardians, by Jan Dohner, is a comprehensive guide for farmers struggling to reduce predation of sheep, goats, and other livestock. Dohner, who has more than 26 years of experience with guardian animals, helps owners understand the keys to effective livestock protection: careful selection of the right guardian animal, proper guardian livestock bonding, dedicated training, and ongoing problem-solving. Three chapters address the use of guardian dogs; collectively, these chapters explain how to evaluate, train, understand, and socialize these hardworking canines. A separate chapter provides detailed information on many guardian breeds from around the world. Additional chapters on livestock guardian donkeys and llamas help readers select and train these animals as well. The thorough coverage of livestock guardians includes health care information; breed profiles; case studies of real farmers effectively using guard animals; an appendix with resources, organizations, and Web sites; and a 16-page color photographic insert of guardian breeds. Using Dohner's comprehensive, practical advice, farmers will be able to reduce predation, decrease the need for corralling be better aware of disturbances in flocks, effectively protect their family and property, and use pastures more efficiently."
