The Wild Wood.......2005-08-28
This is a reporint of the very best of the early works by Charles De Lint. The character is Eithnie, an artist trapped by family patterns, afraid to trust, who becomes involved with Coyote Joe, the Trickster. An allegory about the 'butterfly effect', this small book is sheer magic and love upon the pages.

Betrayal, rivalry, and regret, topped off with a healthy dose of good, old-fashioned lust.......2005-09-12
Blinded by jealousy and convinced his wife betrayed their vows, the Earl of Kirkcaldy sows the seeds of his family's turmoil the night she gives birth to twin sons. Banishing the countess, the earl also separates the twins and decrees that he and his wife will each raise a son, setting the stage for the bitter rivalry to come nearly three decades later.
A young hellion, Matalia McTaver is the eldest daughter of Ronin, Laird of the Clan McTaver, and Kalial, princess of a mystical forest kingdom. Pressured to marry by her parents, who worry about her wild ways, Matalia refuses to settle down but yearns for a taste of the intimacy between men and women. So when she finds a brawny, handsome stranger trussed up in the woods near her home, Matalia figures she's found the perfect partner. Unfortunately, her captive is no tame shepherd to be seduced, but a warrior on a mission of his own.
Having spent the last fifteen years amassing a fortune and gaining a fierce reputation in battle, Brogan O'Bannon knows the time has finally come to return to Kirkcaldy and be declared his father's heir. Unfortunately, two things stand in his way. The first is Xanthier, Brogan's identical twin. Raised by their father, Xanthier is his rival and nemesis, but forever connected to Brogan in that special way only twins know. The other problem is the beautiful young woman who rescues him from Xanthier's men only to capture him for use as a stud. Try as he might to resist her allure, Brogan and Matalia give in to desire only to be caught by her father. Bedded then wedded, this fiery pair must now find a way to deal with each other as they journey to Kirkcaldy for the ultimate confrontation with Brogan's father and brother.
Back in the 1980's historical romances had a certain tone and texture. They were larger than life, gritty dramas filled with passionate characters who bled, cried, and did things that made readers simultaneously cringe and shiver. Those stories disappeared in the next decade as historicals became kinder, gentler, and more politically correct. Well, guess what? A new age has dawned and everything old is new again, and Sasha Lord's IN A WILD WOOD leads the pack. The story swirls with classic elements like betrayal, rivalry, and regret, topped off with a healthy dose of good, old-fashioned lust. Brogan is very much a man of his time, while Matalia starts off as a young, spoiled girl who matures into a force to be reckoned with. Add in the varied cast of secondary characters and the result is a tale which is intense, believable, and electrifying.
The second in the Wild series (the first story, UNDER A WILD SKY, is Ronin and Kalial's story), IN A WILD WOOD can be read apart. But do you really want to miss the rest of this unique family? I highly recommend this book and series for a thrilling romance and an unforgettable adventure.

Amazing romantic tale.......2005-02-21
This is the second book I have read by Sasha Lord and I am so glad I have discovered her books. She is an amazing writer. I loved this book, it ahs everything I look for in a book, romance, passion, action, and drama.
I love Matalia's character, but she can be a bit too stubborn. Brogan is alot like Ronin's character in "Under a Wild Sky." He can be severly violent and angry to the point that you hate him and then he can be sweet and caring to the point that you love him.
Definatly read "Under a Wild Sky" before you read this book.
This is what romance is all about!.......2004-11-14
IN A WILD WOOD brought together all the elements I look for a book- fantastic action, memorable characters, passion, and cliff-hanging plot twists. After reading Ms. Lord's first book, I wasn't sure she could keep up the pace, but boy has she! In fact, she has surpassed herself, and she is my new, favorite author.
IN A WILD WOOD is a story of brothers that are pitted against each other due to a terrible mistake. Their agony is clearly felt and cleverly developed, and when Matalia, the heroine, comes in and throws their obsessive fighting into turmoil, you don't know who to feel for the most. A woman like her is a powerful force, and I was enchanted! I couldn't put the book down, and now am panting to get the next one.
Superbly SENSUAL and Exciting!.......2004-08-03
In the much-anticipated sequel to UNDER A WILD SKY, this new and promising author, delivers another scorchingly sensual action adventure featuring Matalia McTaver, the eldest daughter of Ronin and Kalial. Taught from childhood to wield a sword to protect herself and the forest of Loch Nidean she comes upon a traveler being set upon by a band of outsiders. Matalia, and the trio of wolves who travel with her, beat off the outsiders and save the traveler, Brogan O'Bannon. Rather than sending him on his way, the exquisitely beautiful and independent Matalia decides to keep the very handsome traveler to help her in her experiment to discover the secrets of the marriage bed. She thought that if she were experienced and could tell her mother that she knew what marriage was all about then she would not have to endure any more of their efforts to marry her off and be controlled by a husband.
Brogan O'Bannon was a fierce embittered warrior, traveling over the world to amass fortune and return home to satisfy the demands of his father to prove he was the stronger of two twins who were separated at birth. Waking up tied to a tree, he was infuriated at the attempts of this beautiful forest `faerie' who was conducting her `experiment' on him. Brogan later escaped his bonds, and showed her exactly what carnal pleasure was all about in a most wild and unrelenting way. Caught in her own experimental trap, Matalia would be forced by her parents into marriage and a bond with a man who would introduce her to an ecstasy far beyond her imagination if they could only both survive the danger, treachery and betrayal they would discover on his journey home.
Double WOW! If you like them hot, seat squirming sensual - along with a stellar love story, then this sequel to UNDER A WILD SKY is most definitely the book for you. The basic plot of identical twins, and the mistake of marking the eldest, who were separated at birth and raised with the ultimate goal of besting one another for an inheritance was a powerful story in itself. Combining it with a superbly drawn heroine who would teach the embittered man to love was both touching and poignant. In examining the fantasy aspect, this one was minimal in scope to the first book. Matalia's `gift' was more in `taming' wild animals with song rather then the mind link and talking to them which her mother did. The human relationships, the mind link between the twins, and the fully robust secondary characters all worked together to provide the reader with a monumental and fascinating page-turner. If this new author continues to deliver the quality I've seen in these first two books I predict another star in the making! Both books are exceptional examples of their sub-genre and are finding their way onto my keeper shelves! --- Marilyn Rondeau, Official Reviewer for www.historicalromancewriters.com ---
exciting medieval romance .......2004-08-03
At a time he should feel euphoric for the birth of his heir, the embittered Earl feels anger at his wife because he believes she cheated on him though she denies his accusations. Worse, he learns that twins are born and that the midwife failed to identify which child came first. He informs his spouse that he will raise one child and she the other. The stronger lad will inherit the estate.
Years later, Xanthier has the inside path to the inheritance because his father raised him while Brogan was in exile with his mother. Although they were friends as lads without their parents' awareness, the siblings are now rivals. Xanthier's men tie up Brogan in the woods warning him to leave or die. Matalia McTaver sees Brogan and decides he is the answer to two questions: how to avoid marriage and what sex is all about. She teases and arouses her prisoner until he escapes. They share fleshly pleasures, but her father Lord Ronin catches them and forces Matalia and Brogan to marry. They fall in love as the brotherly rivalry, encouraged by Xanthier's avariciouse wife, heats up and threatens both their lives.
This exciting medieval romance is an intriguing historical relationship drama as the story line focuses on a dysfunctional family. The cleverly developed support cast either enhances the understanding of the two prime couples or moves forward the plot. Although Matalia is out character by keeping Brogan tied up and explanation for why the Earl thought he was cuckold is not clear enough, fans will appreciate this deep look at medieval relationships, several of which are failing.

Great collection.......2003-06-14
Anyone not familiar with Lewis Grizzard ought to be in for a treat reading these books. I grew up reading Grizzard in the Atlanta Journal-Constitution and I remember laughing out loud at the breakfast table so, so many times. Grizzard was a terrifically funny man, southern to the core and wrote basically about what he knew best- life in the south. Grizzard was more than just a funny guy, however, he was a real writer, a true talent. This collection makes me realize how much I miss him. You don't have to be southern to appreciate Grizzard, however, no more than you'd have to be from the Midwest to like Garrison Keillor. This is Grizzard at his best.
Solid Gold Grizzard.......2001-04-10
Lewis Grizzard is to southern humor what Elvis is to rock n roll, a legend that will live in our hearts forever. "Down Home Grizzard" is an excellent read as well as a beautiful memory to the late king of southern humor. The man is just plain funny.

Good basic guide for the begginer.......2000-11-15
"The Guide to owning Dwarf Rabbits" is a good basic guide to the first time rabbit owner. This book covers topics like Housing, feeding and health. "The Guide to Owning Dwarf Rabbits" is written in an easy to understand style and contains all you need to know for your first rabbit, but is not very in depth for those with rabbit experience.
Book Description
"I am very impressed by Bob and Vera Thornton's book. The photos are excellent.... I am especially impressed by the enthusiasm they bring to their subject."
—Victor Emanuel, President, Victor Emanuel Nature Tours
Known to many as "the butterflies of the bird world," wood warblers allure even the most experienced and discriminating birders. Their annual migrations to and from nesting areas in the United States and Canada draw thousands of birders to places such as High Island, Texas; Crane Creek, Ohio; and Point Pelee, Ontario, where warblers stop to rest and feed during the long journey. There birders have a chance to see and photograph these colorful, elusive songbirds whose quick, darting flight among high branches and thick cover makes them some of the most challenging birds to observe and identify.
In this entertaining, beautifully illustrated book, Bob Thornton recounts his and Vera Thornton's cross-continent adventures in finding and photographing all 52 species of wood warblers that nest in the United States. In addition to describing where and how they photographed each species, Thornton tells marvelous stories of the colorful characters they encountered along the way. He also touches on the current human threats to wood warblers that come from loss of habitat.

A book design award winner.......2004-04-04
Chasing Warblers was published by University of Texas Press and it received a book design award by Southeastern Library Association in 2000. Book designer: Heidi Haeuser.
Chasing Warblers.......1999-12-21
A wonderful book. In addition to great photographs, it is a wonderful story of the adventure taken to obtain the photo's by the photographers.
Here is a truly unique account of bird watching/photography.......1999-10-26
While many books on birds are either cumbersome "doorstops" with far too much information (even for the avid) or are comprised of a collection of "only good" photographs that all seem to blend into one at the end of the reading (if you get that far), Bob and Vera's, "Chasing Warblers" is refreshing. Not only are the photographs first class by all standards, but the storyline is original and tight. First off, who gets that close to a Swainson's or a Colima or a Kirtlands, let alone photograph it? Any birder who has even scant knowledge of warblers and their persistant and sometimes frustrating "flutter" can appreaciate their task and acknowledge their success. Second, there is good writing. The story of Bob and Vera's adventures and misadventures from the mountaintops of the Texan deserts to the Pacific forests to the woodlands of Central Park prove exciting and written in colorful coloquial speak. Whether a birder or not - one can appreciate a book that combines truly amazing photos with an entertaining story - a rare entity!! Review by Mark Robert, San Francisco, Ca.

A bag full of golf humor from one of America's best-loved humorists. Did Lewis Grizzard love golf? Does a wild bear chip in the woods?
Book Description
In the wilderness, one false step can make the difference between a delightful respite and a brush with death.
On a beautiful summer afternoon in 1998, Dan Stephens, a 22-year-old canoeist, was leading a trip deep into Ontario’s Quetico Provincial Park. He stepped into a gap among cedar trees to look for the next portage—and did not return. More than four hours later, Dan awakened with a lump on his head from a fall and stumbled deeper into the woods, confused.
Three years later, Jason Rasmussen, a third-year medical student who loved the forest’s solitude, walked alone into the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness on a crisp fall day. After a two-day trek into a remote area of the woods, he stepped away from his campsite and made a series of seemingly trivial mistakes that left him separated from his supplies, wet, and lost, as cold darkness fell.
Enduring days without food or shelter, these men faced the full harsh force of wilderness, the place that they had sought out for tranquil refuge from city life. Lost in the Wild takes readers with them as they enter realms of pain, fear, and courage, as they suffer dizzying confusion and unending frustration, and as they overcome seemingly insurmountable hurdles in a race to survive.
“With admirable economy and a flair for suspense . . . [Griffith shows] how even well-prepared wilderness travelers can compound an initial blunder until they are in extreme danger—and what someone in their boots can do to increase his odds of surviving.”—Washington Post Book World
“Simply good reporting, offering an absorbing read and material for thinking about ourselves and the wilderness.”—Minneapolis Star Tribune

A cautionary tale.......2007-09-16
The book is a riveting retelling of how two young men (independently) became lost in the boundary waters area. The most useful element of the story is the cautionary tale of how simple mistakes, easily made through carelessness or shortsightedness, can lead quickly to life-threatening situations in the wilderness. Alternating between the experiences of the two campers, and jumping between to the rescue efforts mounted on their behalves, the accounts are woven together ably. That said, the author insists upon describing all the events in the present tense rather than the past tense, i.e. he looks up, he sees the light, he wonders, he goes.... It's a personal gripe that some might not share, but rather than creating a breathtaking atmosphere for me as a reader, I found this writing style annoying in an otherwise well told story.
The book is not a survival primer per se, but there are many lessons of the "I never thought of that" variety to be learned here by those with little experience in the wilderness. For those who have "been there and done that," there are sobering reminders of the consequences of lessons forgotten. Keep your map with you and look at it frequently. Don't lose the compass. Never part with your matches if you walk out of camp. Don't wander out of sight of your camp in thick woods. Don't make a jump you don't need to. Avoid needless risks. Insulation is your friend, moisture your enemy. The fact that this isn't rocket science is what makes the book compelling -- simple mistakes that anyone could make can snowball. It is thought provoking to say the least.
Almost unbelievable ... .......2007-07-31
This book follows two unfortunate souls and for one of them, you will find yourself wondering if the story can be true since it is one bad decision after another. But I guess that is how it goes. I found both stories compelling and gave this book as a gift to two of my friends (one of which read each story through to the end instead of alternating them).
An Amazing Tale of Survival.......2007-06-10
I started this book right after a visit to the area where these events took place. I met one of the rescuers and he casually mentioned the book. I bought it based on that comment but I didn't expect the book to be as well-written or as engrossing as it was. I stayed up well past my bedtime the first night and finished it a few days later in one sitting. It's all I could think about during that time. The author did an excellent job of researching the events so that the reader can feel what it was like to be in the wilderness with the lost men and with the rescuers. It's an amazing story and it's very well told. Highly recommended!
The woods are lovely, dark and deep ..........2006-08-31
Easy to get Lost in this Gripping Narrative....
You may find this book hard to put down once you delve into it. Two parallel narratives of fairly savvy backcountry trekkers who make some mistakes for which they almost pay with their lives. We so rarely encounter The Wild in our urban and suburban lives. It helps to remember sometimes just how fragile the membrane is that separates survival from death.
Gripping Account.......2006-06-14
This fascinating book tells two stories, of two men who lost their way on separate journeys into the north woods. Its structure is engaging: it tells the two stories side by side in alternating chapters. It details their peril, their survival efforts, and the search and rescue operations.
This book has some advantages over other books of adventurist survival. The situations are more accessible, something average people can relate to better than tales of mountain climbers and victims of shipwreck. The tales contrast nicely -- one of the men is seemingly well-prepared but makes some grave errors that put him in the jaws of death; the other is an expert outdoorsman who overestimates his abilities in a fleeting moment.
The author balances the themes of the story very nicely: the narrative details that help us understand all the activity surrounding these incidents, the high emotions of the various players, the natural and social milieu in which the incidents occurred. I do wish that the author had provided a "cast list" summarizing the participants in each story and their roles; it would have made it easier to maintain continuity in the alternating stories. The maps are adequate but merely that: they could have been used better to advance the story.
I enjoyed getting to know both of the protagonists as they developed through the storytelling. The author does not overemphasize their lapses in judgment. Sure, one could berate the one hiker for not checking his map and compass until well into the second day; and the canoe trip leader for the bravado that made him think he could achieve a leap that needn't have been attempted. But pointing out lessons is not the point of the tale. Rather, this book presents a tale of the human spirit in extreme situations, and offers travelog of the north woods into the bargain. He draws their characters vividly, and the reader cheers on their ingenuity in surviving, their inner struggles and breakthroughs. Tears of relief and delight meet their rescues.

How to Shit in the Woods: An Environmentally Sound Approach to a Lost Art
ASIN: 0898150701 |
Customer Reviews:
Useful and original book.......2006-11-05
This little book is a very refreshing perspective on backcountry hiking. It is certainly dated but since there is no shortage of information on the latest gear and techniques, this book provides other key ideas. Wood's views on the usefulness of vapor barriers alone makes this book worth the price. His ideas on finding or forming a comfortable bed area are original (although not appropriate to all campsites) and effective for getting a good night's sleep. I also think he is right on in the areas of cooking, navigating, and general backcountry philosophy. The fact that his suggestions for stoves is out of date doesn't matter, there are plenty of guides for current gear. Wood's original and well tested backpacking methods are still very relevent.
Total Crack-up.......2005-08-04
This book is a total crack up around the campfire. I just hope no one actually takes any of the advice seriously because it is so crappy and out-of-date.
Sunglasses are a crutch! If it gets too bright for you, make 'indian sunglasses' by looking through the crack between your index and middle fingers!
Cold? Make sure you wear a waterproof vapor barrier near your skin to trap in the moisture! Make a vapor barrier vest out of plastic bags to stay toasty warm!
Tired? Try the limp step! Rest one leg by dragging it behind you!
This book is lame, but funny.
Wonderful Little Book.......2004-06-12
I don't really know what the other reviewers are talking about,
this is a little gem of a book, wonderfully written and packed, yes, with common sense advice, which doesn't get out of style.
Mr. Wood is clear and eloquent.
A waste of money.......2002-10-11
I bought this book because I liked its small size and after glancing through it thought it
would be a fairly thorough, if abridged, reference book for backpackers. After all, the
subtitle is A Problem Solving Manual for Use in the Wilds. I was...less than satisfied
with this book, although it does have some useful information.
In the Introduction Mr. Wood states that "This isn't a survival booklet, either. A
backpacker shouldn't need to know how to rub two sticks together for fire, flag down a
passing plane, snare rabbits or cook without pots. He's supposed to have all the
essentials on his back and be prepared to travel through the country he's chosen to visit."
That's tantamount to saying that you don't need car insurance because you're a good
driver. Life happens, and if you get separated from your pack for whatever reason you'd
darn well better know something about survival or you might not live long enough to
have to worry about it. Would it have been that difficult for Mr. Wood to put one extra
chapter, or even a few pages, in his book to teach some survival basics?
Under Trail Manners (p. 28), Mr. Wood's first paragraph is devoted to the evils of guns
and how "...the boom of gunfire ...invades privacy and solitude..." Darn, there goes my
vacation! He further states that "Guns are not needed as protection against wildlife..."
This will come as news to most hunters, but quite frankly I'm more worried about the
threats from other humans. Unfortunately, crime has become a serious consideration
when hiking, and I doubt that banging pots and pans together will scare away the average
crazed ax murderer, or even a lowly mugger. To abdicate your responsibilities to your
own and your family's protection is both foolish and dangerous.
I also have a problem with Mr. Wood constantly referring readers to his other book,
Pleasure Packing for the 80's. I'm sure it's just my imagination, but it seems that every
other page has something like "There are eight things that you must do within the next 15
seconds or you'll die a horrible and painful death...find out what they are in my book
Pleasure Packing for the 80's!" I won't even mention that the 80's were 20 years ago.
All in all, this book isn't terrible, but it could've been so much better. On the plus side,
it's [inexpensive] (relatively speaking), small and light, but it's too dated and has too little
information...for just a little more money and not much more weight you could buy any
number of books that offer similar information but don't leave out anything important.
History of backpacking.......2002-06-25
This is the book that got me interested in backpacking. Before I had ever done more than car-camp with my family, this book captured my attention with the whole new concept of carrying your shelter, food, and clothing with you on an extended trip into the backcountry, where no one else could go. It provided tips for walking techniques, nutrition, and camp placement, and did so when such concepts were wholly new to me. Today, however, it is sadly dated.
Unless the content has changed with the price (mine was MUCH cheaper, a decade or more ago), you will not find too much use in it. The info is post-Goretex, but pre-geodesic tent. You will find advice for digging a fire pit (a big no-no these days), and waxing your jeans to fend off rain (jeans?).
The book is interesting, if only for historical value, and I do still use a couple of the walking "techniques" outlined here, but unless you are REALLY into backpacking and its history, there are many better books availabe. I keep it for sentimental value.

Nice photos, Good Format, Great text.......2002-02-28
This book is attractive and easy to use, but its astounding aspect is high technical quality of the text. The author clearly knows the plants of these great north country forests and meadows. While I could get lost in technical terms such as calyx lobes and corollas, its worth the trips to the glossary in back. At times, the "Habitat/Range" and "Comments" text reminds me of some of the great botanical works of a century ago. If you are looking for a general guide with the technical power to challenge and support field identifications, this book has no equal for these beautiful woods. If only for those flies and mosquitos of summer...
