Decade of the Wolf

BOOK SENSE NOTABLE BOOK"By piquing our imaginations, by sparking in us a sense of wonder, Yellowstone's wolves have done much to invigorate our sense of place, even our sense of generosity, rekindling relationships that allow us to again feel at home in the world."-- Douglas Smith, Wolf Project LeaderFor millions of people around the world, the image of wolves running free through Yellowstone National Park has become the ultimate symbol of the American wilderness. The release of thirty-one Canadian gray wolves in 1995 and 1996-arguably the most controversial feat of conservation in our nation's history-sparked a new-found passion for these remarkable animals and the unbound lands that sustain them. Few were prepared for the outpouring of emotion sparked by the reintroduction of these wolves, and for the changes that came, both in the land and in the minds of men, with that experiment. For the first time, Douglas Smith and Gary Ferguson recount the first ten years of this historic endeavor. The journey of the wolves themselves and the people who faithfully followed them through the wilds of Yellowstone make for unforgettable reading. Here are intimate details about the lives of these animals, including wonderful stories about survival and family dynamics. Smith and award-winning nature writer Gary Ferguson weave together never-before-published scientific discoveries with spell-binding tales of the wolves' behaviors. The wolves have not only survived, but completely changed the ecosystem, spilling a fresh measure of wild across the world's first national park. . DECADE OF THE WOLF serves to mark the end of the opening act of this inspired, often tumultuous tale of preservation.DOUGLAS SMITH, PHD, Wolf Project leader, has studied wolves for twenty-four years and has worked on the reintroduction in Yellowstone since its inception.

Full Ecology

"A quick read that reinforces the seriousness of the moment, Full Ecology provides much to think about." —Booklist "Full Ecology is full of hope and wisdom. It is a much-needed guide to caring for ourselves and our community by caring for nature." —Alice Waters "Full Ecology is one of the most important books ever written on the climate crisis. Honest, eloquent, touching, free of acronyms and jargon, it goes straight to the heart of cause and cure, the profound disconnect from each other and the natural world. Mary Clare and Gary Ferguson enfold our hopes, fears, and confusion into the splendor and beauty of the natural world from where we can see, feel, and understand how to meet this extraordinary moment in human history." —Paul Hawken, author of Carbon and Regeneration "Mary M. Clare and Gary Ferguson offer an eloquent testament to this truth: to be disconnected from the rest of nature is to be alienated from our true selves. The health of humans, of other-than-human life, and of the planet itself comprise one health, indivisible." —Richard Louv, author of Our Wild Calling and Last Child in the Woods "At a time when we’re all so busy being ‘productive,’ separated from our very nature, these two lovers of the natural world have created a survivor’s guide. . . . Let it take you where you need to go, nurturing you along the rocky way." —Sister Helen Prejean, author of Dead Man Walking and River of Fire "In this rapidly warming climate, Full Ecology reclaims for us an ancient, relationship-centered lifeway. This book is not so much a fire alarm as a tolling bell, inviting readers to pause and reflect and choose what is good for the earth, and thus what is profoundly good for ourselves." —Rosanne Parry, author of A Wolf Called Wander and A Whale of the Wild "Words flowing from the heart create what Fools Crow called ‘a hollow bone' through which spirit can flow. Following this ancient path of the heart, these authors allow the earth’s soul to flow through, informing us humans that we are not separate. In healing the world’s soul, we heal humanity. Aho! Mi Takuye Oyacin; we are all related." —Eduardo Duran, psychologist and author of Healing the Soul Wound

Si sposavano uomini con uomini. Voci, storie e fantasmi della Roma Rinascimentale

Quello dei matrimoni omosessuali è attualmente un tema oggetto di accesi dibattiti negli Stati Uniti come nel resto del mondo. Tuttavia, a giudicare dal tenore della maggior parte delle discussioni si trarrebbe facilmente la conclusione che l'idea del matrimonio fra persone dello stesso sesso sia un fenomeno unicamente contemporaneo. Le cose non stanno così, come dimostra Gary Ferguson in questo volume che tratta di una cerimonia nuziale omosessuale nella Roma del Cinquecento. Nella fattispecie, si fa riferimento a un gruppo formato per lo più da spagnoli e portoghesi, arrestati e giustiziati a Roma nel 1578, con l'accusa di aver celebrato matrimoni omosessuali in una delle principali chiese romane. Dell'accaduto si parla in una serie di fonti, tra cui il diario di viaggio del saggista francese Michel de Montaigne. Prefazione di Gian Paolo Romagnani e Tommaso Scaramella.
