Book excerpt: She left the big city searching for simplicity. When cultures clash and what's right becomes hazy, can she find the path to her truth?Philadelphia. Amber Phillips is craving a change. Tired of only seeing the ugly side of people, the crime reporter hopes moving to Montana as a feature writer for a glossy Yellowstone magazine will help her decompress and move past the tragic lose of her police officer partner and his K-9 officer, Olive. But her east coast sensibilities take a hard landing in the modern-day wild west when a local is gored to death by a bison. Shocked by the yearly purge of the majestic beasts from their Yellowstone National Park home and the possibility the local man's demise was foul play, she draws on her investigative skills and wades into a feud among area ranchers. But while cryptic clues reveal ties between land development, a deadly bacterium, and high-minded conservationists, another heart-stopping loss shocks her into rethinking her principles. As Amber faces her own mortality, will a dramatic shift in mindset bring a new understanding of life, justice, and the grave? Thought-provoking and emotionally written, E. B Lee takes the reader on a journey examining humanity and our tenuous grasp on righteousness influenced by bias and ignorance.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Yellowstone National Park is well known for its vivid and diverse landscape, its abundance of wildlife, and its wildfires such as the 1988 ?Summer of Fire?. Yellowstone is also well known for its volcanic activity-the cause of several geothermal hot spots that cover the landscape in the form of geysers, hot springs, mud pots, and fumaroles. In this study we learn that Yellowstone has other hot spots that are also important to the ecology of the park: clusters of cloud-to-ground (CG) lightning flashes. With the use of the latest GIS technology available, a 10-year National Lightning Detection Network (NLDN) dataset from 1995 to 2004 was analyzed to better understand the spatial and temporal pattern of CG lightning in Yellowstone. Graphs and maps visualizing lightning strikes and flash density reveal the seasonal and diurnal behavior of CG lightning in the park. Global spatial statistics reveal the spatial pattern of CG lightning is more of a random pattern while local spatial statistics indicate CG lightning is locally clustered. Maps visualizing results from local spatial statistics show hot spots of CG lightning activity over the mountain regions of the park and cold spots of CG lightning activity over the western and central plateau of Yellowstone. Finally, spatial regression analysis using the physical terrain properties of slope, aspect, elevation, and land cover resulted in statistically significant models that at most explained 17 percent of the variability in CG lightning flash density. Of the variables tested, only elevation appears to have a statistically significant relationship with observed spatial pattern of lightning flash density.

Download or read book Restoring a Presence written by Peter Nabokov and published by University of Oklahoma Press. This book was released on 2016-01-18 with total page 401 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Placing American Indians in the center of the story, Restoring a Presence relates an entirely new history of Yellowstone National Park. Although new laws have been enacted giving American Indians access to resources on public lands, Yellowstone historically has excluded Indians and their needs from its mission. Each of the other flagship national parks—Glacier, Yosemite, Mesa Verde, and Grand Canyon—has had successful long-term relationships with American Indian groups even as it has sought to emulate Yellowstone in other dimensions of national park administration. In the first comprehensive account of Indians in and around Yellowstone, Peter Nabokov and Lawrence Loendorf seek to correct this administrative disparity. Drawing from archaeological records, Indian testimony, tribal archives, and collections of early artifacts from the Park, the authors trace the interactions of nearly a dozen Indian groups with each of Yellowstone’s four geographic regions. Restoring a Presence is illustrated with historical and contemporary photographs and maps and features narratives on subjects ranging from traditional Indian uses of plant, mineral, and animal resources to conflicts involving the Nez Perce, Bannock, and Sheep Eater peoples. By considering the many roles Indians have played in the complex history of the Yellowstone region, authors Nabokov and Loendorf provide a basis on which the National Park Service and other federal agencies can develop more effective relationships with Indian groups in the Yellowstone region.

Book excerpt: "George Black rediscovers the history and lore of one of the planet's most magnificent landscapes. Read Empire of Shadows, and you'll never think of our first—in many ways our greatest—national park in the same way again." —Hampton Sides, author of Blood and Thunder Empire of Shadows is the epic story of the conquest of Yellowstone, a landscape uninhabited, inaccessible and shrouded in myth in the aftermath of the Civil War. In a radical reinterpretation of the nineteenth century West, George Black casts Yellowstone's creation as the culmination of three interwoven strands of history - the passion for exploration, the violence of the Indian Wars and the "civilizing" of the frontier - and charts its course through the lives of those who sought to lay bare its mysteries: Lt. Gustavus Cheyney Doane, a gifted but tormented cavalryman known as "the man who invented Wonderland"; the ambitious former vigilante leader Nathaniel Langford; scientist Ferdinand Hayden, who brought photographer William Henry Jackson and painter Thomas Moran to Yellowstone; and Gen. Phil Sheridan, Civil War hero and architect of the Indian Wars, who finally succeeded in having the new National Park placed under the protection of the US Cavalry. George Black1s Empire of Shadows is a groundbreaking historical account of the origins of America1s majestic national landmark.

When his mom marries a white man and they move to a new "white bread" neighborhood, Danny's life changes. The school principal considers him a troublemaker, and he has to avoid Willy, the school bully, who calls him "redskin" and "Tonto." After Danny acts out and gets suspended from school, his mom decides to send him to a summer survival camp for Native American teens. Danny is sure he is in for a boring summer on the reservation, without Internet access even. Instead, he meets other Native kids, learns to ride and care for horses, and develops a relationship with his grandfather, who teaches him the ways of their tribe. And even though life on the reservation is pretty cool, never in his craziest dreams did Danny expect to become involved in rescuing bison in Yellowstone National Park!
