pickThe Lamar and Hayden Valley areas are known a the American Serengeti. The open plains, the wildlife, the understanding of America as an amazing landscape. If you have seen this, it can be hard to believe that we almost lost it in the late nineteenth century. George Bird Grinnell is one of the men we can thank for saving this precious resource. He recognized that without proper conservation, the American West would be plundered into devastation.
pickThis was definitely a case of the right book at the right time. With so much holiday craziness I only had time to read in little sips, which turned out to be the perfect way to read this story.
In 1898 Alex joins a field study in Yellowstone National Park and shocks the other scientists by being a woman 😱 The story touches on conservation, Native American displacement, feminism, and the nature of science.

"Dear Professor,
Dr. Philip Aber of the Smithsonian made a presentation on campus last week in which he discussed your planned field study in Yellowstone National Park."

pickStarted when we were in Yellowstone. It‘s fascinating! Deaths from lack of common sense and accidents, animal accidents, and natural disasters. I really enjoyed it. I miss Yellowstone. 🌟🌟🌟🌟#rushathon
pickFirst of a new series for me. I‘ve read quite a few from Box but not these until now. I liked this one. The main character is a troubled hero. I liked the alcoholic storyline and seeking recovery. The murder drama potion of the story is comparable to others by the author. I find them well written, enjoyable, and well developed.
pickThis was a promising first installment in a series that I‘m looking forward to reading more of.
pickA solid nonfiction narrative about the obsession, loathing, and politics of the reintroduced Yellowstone wolves. The journalist was respectful in the portrayal of rural norms on hunting and trophy killing, and I'm anti-trophy killing for any reason. I enjoyed the wider lense on Rick McIntyre, the long-time ranger who has spent over 40 years watching wolves. I recommend McIntyre's wolves trilogy in addition to this one.
