Sermons in Stone
The Stone Walls of New England and New York
Susan Allport
A well-written, fascinating contribution to the regions social and economic history.
Boston Magazine
What do we actually know about stone walls?
Who built them, and why were they built? Stone
walls are not simply monuments to the skill of
Yankee farmers or quaint reminders of a simpler
time; they are ultimately utilitarian. The historical record shows that many were built by slaves,
Indians, indentured servants, and children.
Sermons in Stone is the surprising and illuminating history of stone walls. It is a story that
began in the Ice Age and was shaped by the need
to divide properties in the nineteenth century,
by conflicts between Native Americans and
colonists over land use, and by Americas waves
of immigration and suburbanization.
Who would think that a history of that humble
workaday structure, the stone wall, would be so
full of the fascinating, the peculiar, the downright
eccentric? But here it is, laid out in a sprightly
style and beautifully illustrated by the ink drawings of David Howell. Dallas Morning News
Susan Allport is an award-winning writer specializing in science, travel, and food. Her books
include The Primal Feast and A Natural History of Parenting and her articles have been published in
the New York Times, Gastronomica, Audubon, and The Missouri Review, among many other publications. Allport lives with her family in Katonah, NY.

Shepherds of Coyote Rocks

Public Lands, Private Herds and the Natural World
Cat Urbigkit
One womans season on the Wyoming range
Cat Urbigkit journeys alone to spend a season
on Wyomings open range, tending to a flock
of domestic sheep as they give birth amid the
challenges of naturefrom severe weather to a
wealth of predators. Her only companions are
the guardian animals, big dogs and a pair of
burros named Bill and Hillary, that repeatedly
prove their worth in their devotion to protecting the flock.
Urbigkit offers interesting reflections on
the role of pastoralists around the globe and
on the controversial issue in the western U.S.
of private livestock herds being run on public lands. The intimate ways in which abstract
public policy plays out on the open range are
eye-opening.
More than a tale of herding sheep, Shepherds
of Coyote Rocks is an action-packed true story
that reveals the broad spectrum of the human
relationship with nature, from harmony to
rugged adventure.

The New York Grimpendium

A Guide to Macabre and Ghastly Sites
J. W. Ocker
From the author of The New England Grimpendium comes a new travelogue and insiders guide to wicked, weird, wonderful New York.
When J. W. Ockers first book, The New England
Grimpendium, emerged on the scene, Max
Weinstein of Fangoria.com called it a travelogue
for those who revel in the glory of their nightmares. Rick Broussard at New Hampshire Magazine said of it, Ive read a dozen books about
New England ghosties and weirdnesses, and this
one is my favorite. Its also one of the few that
actually came up with stuff I didnt already know
about. Now the author of that Lowell Thomas
Award winner has unearthed hundreds of similarly creepy and colorful places in the Empire
State that will make your skin crawl and your
hair stand on end!
Ockers essays on these places, some little
known, some area landmarks, include directions
and site information along with entertaining
anecdotes delivered in his signature wry style. Its
definitely a wild ride from a jar full of the harvested brains of dead killers to horror movie filming sites around the state; from a ships graveyard
to lake monster sightings. If its in New York and
its bizarrely noteworthy or wonderfully wacky,
youll find it in The New York Grimpendium.

Lauren Brown
The help you need identifying the dormant but visible vestiges of spring and summer
wildflowers and other plants.
When it was first published, Roger Tory Peterson
said of Wildflowers and Winter Weeds, This book
will be a joy to those wood-walkers and strollers
who have been puzzled by the skeletal remains of
herbaceous plants that they see in winter. And
indeed, it has been in print for decades, helping
both wood-walkers and botanists identify and
better understand the weeds we see in winter.
This charming guide identifies more than 135
common species of wildflowers and weeds found
in the northeastern United States. Each plant
is superbly illustrated with a full-page drawing
accompanied by an elegant description of the
plants key characteristics. In addition, a step-bystep key to plant identifications and an illustrated
glossary of common plant parts and botanical
terms make this book an even more valuable resource. If youve ever wanted to know what those
plants you see sticking up out of the snow are,
youll appreciate this lovely, useful book.
Lauren Brown, a graduate of the Yale School
of Forestry, has taught plant identification and
other topics at Yale and for the CT Audubon
Society. She lives in Branford, Connecticut.
