Download or read book Morning Comes to Elk Mountain written by Gary Lantz and published by Southwestern Nature Writing. This book was released on 2013 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Organized as a series of monthly journal entries, Morning Comes to Elk Mountain is Lantz's response to ten years of exploring the rough and unexpected beauty of the Wichita Mountains Wildlife Refuge. A combination of memoir, natural history, Native American history, and geology, this book is enriched by 20 color photos and a map to appeal to the seasoned visitor as well as the newcomer to the refuge. The national wildlife refuge that's the focus of the book was among the first established by President Theodore Roosevelt. He helped save the Wichitas from miners and land speculators, and instead the harsh yet scenic area became the nation's first bison refuge, established to keep this American icon from slipping into extinction. Today the refuge hosts more than a million visitors a year, most of them coming to hike the trails, climb the rocks, photograph bison and prairie dogs, or simply commune with a beautiful, wild area that remains a spiritual landscape for the Kiowa and Comanche Indians who call it home.

Download or read book My Wichita Mountains written by David Halpern and published by . This book was released on 2020-10-11 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: History, photographs, impressions and memories of Oklahoma's Wichita Mountain Wildlife Refuge, from experiences there between 1974 and 2007. Photographer and author David Halpern underscores his attachment to a place that has contributed immeasurably to his understanding of the natural environment and taught him much about himself---a place that helped shape his philosophy and continues to influence his approach to photography. More recent visitors to the Wichitas, as well as readers with comparable experience, will recognize their own feelings and, on occasion, discover differences between their own perceptions and the author's, whose hope is that his words and pictures will move others to care about our environment and want to protect these resources for future generations. "It seems reasonable to assume that when people feel they have a vested interest in public places, they will treat them with greater respect. I encourage you to visit and develop an appreciation for these and other public lands. Sense their uniqueness, learn from them, and let them nurture your respect for all forms of life. Let the Wichita Mountains become yours and be your gift to the future."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For fans of Cheryl Strayed, the gripping story of a biologist's human-powered journey from the Pacific Northwest to the Arctic to rediscover her love of birds, nature, and adventure. During graduate school, as she conducted experiments on the peculiarly misshapen beaks of chickadees, ornithologist Caroline Van Hemert began to feel stifled in the isolated, sterile environment of the lab. Worried that she was losing her passion for the scientific research she once loved, she was compelled to experience wildness again, to be guided by the sounds of birds and to follow the trails of animals. In March of 2012, she and her husband set off on a 4,000-mile wilderness journey from the Pacific rainforest to the Alaskan Arctic, traveling by rowboat, ski, foot, raft, and canoe. Together, they survived harrowing dangers while also experiencing incredible moments of joy and grace -- migrating birds silhouetted against the moon, the steamy breath of caribou, and the bond that comes from sharing such experiences. A unique blend of science, adventure, and personal narrative, The Sun is a Compass explores the bounds of the physical body and the tenuousness of life in the company of the creatures who make their homes in the wildest places left in North America. Inspiring and beautifully written, this love letter to nature is a lyrical testament to the resilience of the human spirit. Winner of the 2019 Banff Mountain Book Competition: Adventure Travel
