Myths and Truths about

Coyotes
What You Need to Know About America’s
Most Formidable Predator
C arol C ar taino
As in any area where little is known and much feared or

suspected, bring up the subject of coyotes, and myths and
half-truths fly. This book will deflate the myths and illumi-
nate and share the truths.
Once just a colorful supporting character of the Old West
or children’s cartoons, coyotes are now real-life neighbors
to just about every one of us. Every state in the US except
Hawaii has them, and they slink around suburbs and cities
as well as the countryside.

Wildebeest in a Rainstorm
Profiles of Our Most Intriguing Adventurers,
Conservationists, Shagbags, and Wanderers
Jon Bowermaster
Over the last 20 years, Jon Bowermaster has profiled,

traveled with, written with and about a huge variety of the
world's most interesting environmentalists and explorers,
ranging from Bobby Kennedy Jr. to Peter Beard, Winona
LaDuke, George Schaller, David Brower, Yvon Chouinard,
Doug Tompkins, and more. In Wildebeest in a Rainstorm,
he has collected his fascinating profiles of these leaders
into a single book that provides a one-of-a-kind look at
environmental policy and global exploration.
Jon Bowermaster is the founder of the OCEANS 8 project and has

February 2009 made seven documentary films of his expeditions.

256pp, 5½ x 8½ trade paper
ISBN13: 978-0-89732-689-6 from the introduction
During the past twenty-plus years, I’ve been privileged

to travel the world, often in the company of some of the
most high-profile, committed, hell-bent, hot-headed,
and more than occasionally wacky characters in the
outdoor world: conservationists, adventurers and explor-
ers, entrepreneurs, sportsmen, politicos, and scientists.
Their unrelenting commitment to accomplishing big
things is inspiring, but their eccentricities are electric,
too—and, yes, they are all eccentrics. Think about it. Mike
Fay walked across the Congo forest armed only with
a machete. Will Steger dogsledded 3,741 miles across
Antarctica. Doug Tompkins has bought 2.5 million acres
of South American forest (and counting) in a struggle to
preserve it. Renée Askins fought tooth and nail to bring
wolves back to the American West, against armed and
sexist opposition. Titouan Lamazou sailed around the
world solo faster than anyone had before without stop-
ping, carrying premade casts for his arms and legs so that
if one were broken he wouldn’t have to stop. These are big
thinkers and big doers.

Ball Cap Nation

A Journey Through the World of
America’s National Hat
Jim Lilliefors
Lilliefors’ reporting has been lauded as “Mark Twain-like” by

The New York Times Book Review
As our country grows increasingly diverse and complicated,

Americans seek, and occasionally find, a common thread.
And, as Jim Lilliefors reveals in his new book, that com-
mon thread is what the baseball cap is made of — indeed,
what has transformed it into America’s National Hat. As
fads go, it’s no longer even a fad, but a part of the national
identity that, for better or worse, is a symbol of America.
It feeds an illusion that Americans cherish — that despite
their differences, and no matter what position they play — May 2009
when wearing a baseball cap, we’re all part of the same team. $21.95 ($24.95 Cdn) trade cloth

Rollie’s Follies
A Hall of Fame Revue of Lists and Lore,
Stories and Stats from Baseball’s Most
Famous Moustache
Rollie Fingers and Christopher Ritter
A lively look back at the career of one of

baseball’s best and most charismatic pitchers
In the tradition of the incredibly successful Uncle John’s

and Schott’s Miscellany brands, Rollie’s Follies is the first
in a series of baseball books that give readers quick stories
and stats, nostalgic as well as cutting-edge information.
The package is inventive, unique and lively, and the series is
supported by rolliesfollies.com, where the brand will receive
international attention. Author Rollie Fingers, still one of March 2009
the most recognizable players ever because of his signature $14.95 ($16.50 Cdn) trade paper
handlebar moustache, will appear on TV and radio to tout 224pp, 6 x 9
ISBN13: 978-1-57860-335-0
this breakthrough book that soon will be as recognizable as Sports
the man himself.
Rollie Fingers is one of the most recognizable players in major

league history, due to his playful charisma and handlebar mous-
tache as much as to his 17-year career with the Oakland A’s, San
Diego Padres, and Milwaukee Brewers. He is one of only two
relief pitchers in history to have won a Cy Young Award, a league
Most Valuable Player Award, and to be enshrined in the Baseball
Hall of Fame. He is a popular celebrity for golf tournaments,
autograph shows, and baseball fantasy camps, and he currently
lives in Las Vegas.
Christopher Ritter is an entertainment manager and media

consultant, a contributing writer to the pages of Magic Magazine
and several Comedy Central Specials and the co-writer for the
upcoming Amazing Johnathan autobiography Smoke and Mir-
rors. An accomplished public speaker, Mr. Ritter divides his time
between Manhattan, Chicago, and Las Vegas.
