Jessica Maxwell finds out just how uncertain life can be when her husband leads them away from the wagon train in search of gold. Then he dies in the Rocky Mountains after destroying their wagon while trying to get through a treacherous pass. A Lakota Sioux Warrior appears at her campsite, offering help. Once past her initial fear of him, she grudgingly accepts, recognizing she needs his assistance to survive. What does a reclusive Lakota Warrior do when he is obliged to give aid to those he dislikes? Swift Eagle, guided by nightly visions, travels until he comes upon the family that his dream has shown him. Reasoning that the family will die without his help, he accustoms himself to the idea of contact with these white intruders into his land. A man who seeks solitude, the Lakota resists caring about the white family, but fails entirely in face of their need. The white woman's proud bearing, courageous spirit and underlying gentleness seep into his heart, no matter that he resists.

Praised as a “revelatory” book by The Wall Street Journal, this is the last and most personal work of Pulitzer Prize–winning author and historian Will Durant, discovered thirty-two years after his death. The culmination of Will Durant’s sixty-plus years spent researching the philosophies, religions, arts, sciences, and civilizations from across the world, Fallen Leaves is the distilled wisdom of one of the world’s greatest minds, a man with a renowned talent for rendering the insights of the past accessible. Over the course of Durant’s career he received numerous letters from “curious readers who have challenged me to speak my mind on the timeless questions of human life and fate.” With Fallen Leaves, his final book, he at last accepted their challenge. In twenty-two short chapters, Durant addresses everything from youth and old age to religion, morals, sex, war, politics, and art. Fallen Leaves is “a thought-provoking array of opinions” (Publishers Weekly), offering elegant prose, deep insights, and Durant’s revealing conclusions about the perennial problems and greatest joys we face as a species. In Durant’s singular voice, here is a message of insight for everyone who has ever sought meaning in life or the counsel of a learned friend while navigating life’s journey.
Three friends go on a hike searching for fall leaves.
In this eloquent plea for compassion and respect for all species, journalist and gardener Nancy Lawson describes why and how to welcome wildlife to our backyards. Through engaging anecdotes and inspired advice, profiles of home gardeners throughout the country, and interviews with scientists and horticulturalists, Lawson applies the broader lessons of ecology to our own outdoor spaces. Detailed chapters address planting for wildlife by choosing native species; providing habitats that shelter baby animals, as well as birds, bees, and butterflies; creating safe zones in the garden; cohabiting with creatures often regarded as pests; letting nature be your garden designer; and encouraging natural processes and evolution in the garden. The Humane Gardener fills a unique niche in describing simple principles for both attracting wildlife and peacefully resolving conflicts with all the creatures that share our world.
