Shocked by how bloody my hands were after field-dressing my first big game, an antelope, I knew only that this blood involved something mysterious. What did it mean that I felt marked by that blood? And why did I keep thinking about that blood the rest of the day and keep dreaming about it that night? To answer these questions, I began the process of discovery that resulted in Blood on My Hands: the Ecology of Hunting. Topics include how our culture overvalues life and fears death, how we can kill "such beautiful wild animals," what is faulty about the arguments for animal rights, how DNA relates us to other life forms, the social importance of feasting and story-telling, and the need to begin rewilding the world by restoring habitat. Blood on My Hands differs from all previous books on hunting because it is the first to treat hunting as an ecological act; it differs from all previous books on ecology because it is the first to insist on a definition of ecology that includes ourselves within it. With this shift, hunting becomes an ecological act. Such an ecological view of hunting enables us to rediscover the radical elements of being fully human: consuming together the gifts of the game, celebrating the cycle of life amidst death by feasting and storytelling, and, by something more than metaphor, becoming what we eat. Becoming mindful of our relation to other life forms in turn can help us stop being the most invasive and destructive species on earth and become the one that begins cleaning up the mess we have made.

Owenby, International Bestselling Author “Gripping and captivating, S.B. Alexander’s The Hunted is unputdownable, a riveting story that had me hooked from page one!” Gina Azzi, Bestselling Author of the Boston Hawks Hockey Series “I love seeing characters have true chemistry with each other. I felt that with Sam and Layla; their banter and passion were amazing. S.B. Alexander’s The Hunted was a wonderful book that kept me turning pages, wanting to find out what was going to happen next! There was a bit of mystery and intrigue sprinkled throughout the plot, and I cannot wait to see the series be continued!” Rylanne Burdette – Readers’ Favorite “Author S.B. Alexander knows how to write a story with authenticity, an incredible plot, relatable characters, and a charm that makes readers fall in love. Out of all the novels that I have read of hers, Sam is by far is my favorite character. He is sharp, intense, and has an undeniable allure. Layla is feisty, a little too stubborn, and almost too strong headed, but they make a great couple. The bantering is hilarious, they butt heads quite often, and the dialogues between them had me thoroughly entertained. The story itself is extraordinarily good and actually makes sense, something you don’t find often in the paranormal romance genre.” Rabia Tanveer – Readers’ Favorite
The year 2001 marked more than just the beginning of Stanley Kubrick's Space Odyssey, it marked the beginning of the genome era. That was the year scientists first read the 3 billion letters of DNA that make up the human genome. This was followed by a veritable Noah's Ark of genomesandmdash;sponges and worms, dogs and cows, rice and wheat, chimps and elephantsandmdash;180 creatures aboard so far. So what have we learned from all this? How has it changed the way we practise medicine, grow crops and breed livestock? What have we learned about evolution? These are the questions science writer and molecular biologist Elizabeth Finkel asked herself four years ago. To find the answers she travelled the science frontier from Botswana to Boston, from Warracknabeal to Mexico and tracked down scientists working in the field. Their stories, told here, paint the picture of what it means to be part of the genome generation. 'The Genome Generation is absolutely riveting. These tales from the frontier are a 'must read' for everyone who wishes to understand our pastandmdash;the logic of evolutionandmdash;or take a peep into our exciting future at the creation of 'super plants' through 'digital agriculture'.'andmdash;R.A.

Everything about hunting leads inexorably to death; the challenge for all hunters is how to justify the kill. But the hunter's emotional response to the kill is immensely complex. Hunters respect--and even love--the animals they kill. Talking to the Shaman Within: Musings on Hunting addresses this paradox head-on, dissecting the emotional and psychological response of the hunter to his quarry and, more broadly, his surroundings. The climax of the chase brings the hunter closer to realizing the "nature intelligence" that modern civilization has suppressed. Through his investigation of the "instinct" that lies beneath the urge to hunt, author Manfred F. R. Kets de Vries reveals something basic and fundamental about human behavior. The hunting instinct is hardwired into the human psyche, and, for all our sophistication and urbanization, it exerts a powerful influence over the way we conduct our lives even to this day. Talking to the Shaman Within draws on depictions of hunting in art and literature throughout the ages exploring changing trends in human social norms with frequent reference to literature, art, film, television, and music. It unites a dispassionate academic hypothesis with an engaging and colourful narrative into which Kets de Vries weaves stories from his own life--as both an academic and a hunter.

Author of Why I Wore Lipstick to My Mastectomy Geralyn Lucas’s funny and moving story of leaving the traumatic experience of cancer behind and learning to survive all the challenges of a life she thought she would not have. When Geralyn Lucas, author of Why I Wore Lipstick to My Mastectomy, put on red lipstick in the hall on the way to the operating room, she was showing her doctors, her family, and, most important, herself that she planned on coming out of the OR and living life to the fullest. She figured that that day in the OR would be the hardest day of her life—but, it turns out, the twenty-seven-year-old cancer survivor was a bit short-sighted. Then Came Life picks up almost two decades later, when Geralyn is now living the life she was afraid she’d never be able to have. After having almost died from cancer as a young woman, Geralyn felt that growing old enough to get wrinkles is a gift—one she prayed fervently for in her youth. But she is now in her midforties: Her two miracle babies (both C-sections, both advised against by her doctors) have grown into a mean tween with a fierce eye roll for her mother’s failures and a tornado of little-boy energy who refuses to play by his preschool’s rules; a storybook romance with her husband has become couples therapy with a grumpy prince; and her demanding corporate job at Lifetime TV that she loves moves across the country without her. She has lost the wonder of that cancer gratitude moment, and when she looks in the mirror at her hard-won wrinkles, all she can think about is that she wants to have Botox. Then Came Life is a charming, quirky, delightful yet poignant story of surviving life, a collection of coming-of-(middle)-age stories of trying to be a role model for her daughter while being dissatisfied with her own looks, and what happens when her adoring son is more intent on romancing her than her husband is (right down to dueling Valentine’s Day cards). With the clear-eyed wit and observations of Nora Ephron, she not only explores the dissonance of facing the challenges she was afraid she wouldn’t be alive to have but also confronts them with a great sense of infectious empowerment and a hilarious voice. Geralyn harnesses her fighting spirit and leaves behind the trauma of cancer to battle all the rest that life has to throw at her. Then Came Life is not a cancer recovery story: It is about rediscovering the resilience, courage, and optimism it takes to reinvent yourself at every age.
