Synopsis Muwin and the Magic Hare by : Susan Hand Shetterly
When Muwin the bear spies a lame snowshoe hare, he decides to have rabbit for dinner. What he doesn't realize is that the hare is Mahtoqehs, the Great Magic Hare of the Woods. As Muwin pursues the creature, the hare transforms himself into a hunter, an herb woman, and an old chief, who, on alternate nights entertains the bear and feeds him stew. The book preserves the humor and beauty of the Passamaquoddy culture of Maine and eastern Canada.

Synopsis Settled in the Wild by : Susan Hand Shetterly
Whether we live in cities, suburbs, or villages, we are encroaching on nature, and it in one way or another perseveres. Naturalist Susan Shetterly looks at how animals, humans, and plants share the land—observing her own neighborhood in rural Maine. She tells tales of the locals (humans, yes, but also snowshoe hares, raccoons, bobcats, turtles, salmon, ravens, hummingbirds, cormorants, sandpipers, and spring peepers). She expertly shows us how they all make their way in an ever-changing habitat. In writing about a displaced garter snake, witnessing the paving of a beloved dirt road, trapping a cricket with her young son, rescuing a fledgling raven, or the town's joy at the return of the alewife migration, Shetterly issues warnings even as she pays tribute to the resilience that abounds. Like the works of Annie Dillard and Aldo Leopold, Settled in the Wild takes a magnifying glass to the wildness that surrounds us. With keen perception and wit, Shetterly offers us an education in nature, one that should inspire us to preserve it.

Synopsis Seaweed Chronicles by : Susan Hand Shetterly
“You might not expect unfettered passion on the topic of seaweed, but Shetterly is such a great storyteller that you find yourself following along eagerly.” —Mark Kurlansky “Seaweed is ancient and basic, a testament to the tenacious beginnings of life on earth,” writes Susan Hand Shetterly in this elegant, fascinating book. “Why wouldn’t seaweeds be a protean life source for the lives that have evolved since?” On a planet facing environmental change and diminishing natural resources, seaweed is increasingly important as a source of food and as a fundamental part of our global ecosystem. In Seaweed Chronicles, Shetterly takes readers deep into the world of this essential organism by providing an immersive, often poetic look at life on the rugged shores of her beloved Gulf of Maine, where the growth and harvesting of seaweed is becoming a major industry. While examining the life cycle of seaweed and its place in the environment, she tells the stories of the men and women who farm and harvest it—and who are fighting to protect this critical species against forces both natural and man-made. Ideal for readers of such books as The Hidden Life of Trees and How to Read Water, Seaweed Chronicles is a deeply informative look at a little understood and too often unappreciated part of our habitat.

Synopsis Speaking Fire at Stones by : William Carpenter
When Robert Shetterly gave a collection of his drawings and etchings to William Carpenter, he asked him to write an essay about them for a proposed book. Instead, Carpenter wrote one poem per picture, delving deep into Shetterly's themes of searching for the truth, the personal, and the hero inside of us. The resulting book, Speaking Fire at Stones, is an unusual collaboration. Normally, artists are asked to illustrate poems; here the tables are turned and the result is elegant, speaking in one new voice. Shetterly's drawings link the ether of emotion, inspiration, and impulse with the visible world. His images are cauldrons of voyagers, half-human/half-animal creatures, hermits, and fantastic landscapes where earth and spirit mix, forming new myths. Carpenter ties these images together with the twine of revelation. Everyone seeks something in these pairings; some succeed and some fail in the quest, yet all discover something or someone. Echoes of the Odyssey abound.
