Synopsis Sharp Eyes by : Charlotte Zoë Walker
John Burroughs, the genial and tremendously popular author of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, has gained renewed appreciation at the end of the twentieth century. His quiet approach to nature writing—a combination of scientific observation and poetic spirit, has informed generations of readers. This book is a testament to the importance of his work in modern literature. In addition to exploring the historical aspects of Burroughs's life and character, these works illuminate his role as a writer and his relationships with such contemporaries as Whitman, Thoreau, Emerson, and Muir. Frank Bergan discusses Burroughs as environmentalist, Bill McKibben writes on Burroughs and the call of the "not so wild," Daniel Payne expounds on Burroughs's religion of nature, Wendell Berry considers the sacred economy of homesteading, and Ralph Black provides an analysis on Burroughs and the poetics of the nature essay. This book will have special appeal to those interested in nature writing, American literature, and environmental and cultural history of New York State. A section on the history and current use of Burroughs's work in the classroom also makes the book a valuable resource for teachers.

Synopsis A Pair of Sharp Eyes by : Kat Armstrong
“Murder and mischief in eighteenth-century Bristol. . . . A treat for fans of Ambrose Parry.” —Mick Herron, Gold Dagger Award–winning author of Slow Horses Coronation hears of the murders before she even reaches the slave port of Bristol—six boys found with their throats slit. Horrified, she questions the locals’ readiness to blame the deaths on Red John, a traveling-man few have actually seen. Corrie yearns to know more about the mystery. But first she has to outsmart the bawds, thieves, and rakes who prey on young girls like her, fresh from the countryside and desperate for work. And when the killer strikes shockingly close, Corrie will have to scheme, eavesdrop, and spy on all around her until the shameful truth is out . . . “Not only is this novel a roller-coaster ride of frantic coach rides through floods and collapsing buildings, it is a serious, thoughtful account of racial and religious prejudice, love and compassion. Highly recommended.” —Historical Novel Society “Fans of historical crime fiction will love this one. An outstanding debut.” —Stephen Booth, author of the Cooper and Fry mysteries “A vivid, compelling and immersive read.” —Roz Watkins, author of the DI Meg Dalton series

Synopsis Secrets of the Springs by : Robin Brown
This tale of two deep springs in Florida that began as sinkholes about 13,000 years ago and the story of the precious water they contained, reveals the recent and prehistoric story of what is now the Sunshine State and the importance of its natural resources to its people. The mineral-charged spring water sustained Florida's earliest human populations--roaming hunter-gatherers who discovered the springs about 10,000 years ago and revisited them for thousands of years--in dry times and preserved their bones and artifacts for thousands of years. These dramatic tales based on the history of Florida's first people offer new perspectives on Florida's long history. The second time-period is recent and factual. Often outrageously stranger than fiction, it follows recent events int he history of the springs - the remarkable people who dived in the deep water-filled holes and put together the picture of human life-ways 10,000 years ago at the end of the Pleistocene Era. DNA analysis by world renown Svante Paabo revealed that these first Floridians were unrelated to the Native Americans living in North America today
