Featuring behind-the-scenes photographs from one of North America's most ambitious conservation projects. For thousands of years, wild bison numbering in the millions roamed across a range spanning half of North America. Then, in the 1800s, they were nearly exterminated by European settlers. Buffalo Lessons shares the story of their triumphant return to a mountainous corner of their historic range, nearly a century and a half after they last walked the land. Karsten Heuer, the conservationist tasked with leading the project, chronicles the groundbreaking reintroduction of plains bison to Banff National Park, beginning in 2017, when ten pregnant females and six males were airlifted into an enclosed pasture. It was a complex and ambitious project, designed to restore North America's largest land mammal to its important ecological role in the landscape and its cultural role for Indigenous peoples. Despite meticulous planning, Heuer and his team found themselves repeatedly "buffaloed" by the animals, who had a knack for doing the unexpected, and teaching the humans lessons along the way. Heuer packs his narrative with thrilling moments: a horseback chase to tranquilize a bison, a helicopter-assisted translocation into the rugged backcountry, and the tense tracking of wayward bulls that scale steep, treacherous terrain. Throughout, his encounters with these massive creatures--both awe-inspiring and humbling--force him to confront his assumptions about control, nature, and conservation. In 2024, Heuer was diagnosed with a terminal brain condition, and he completed the manuscript for Buffalo Lessons in the weeks and days before his death. His narrative ends seven years after the initial introduction, with a thriving population of around one hundred bison and the organization of the first Indigenous hunt in the region in over 150 years. Buffalo Lessons stands as a testament to the resilience of bison, and as the culmination of a life's work in conservation. Published in Partnership with the David Suzuki Institute.]]></description><link>https://sitka.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S49C129944699</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://sitka.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S49C129944699</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Heuer, Karsten]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sat, 31 Jan 2026 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://sitka.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/129944699049</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>How Bison Returned to Banff National Park</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781778403149/MC.GIF&amp;client=bclibcoop&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Interview With A Panda]]></title><description><![CDATA["Get ready to hear from 10 rare and remarkable creatures as they approach the mic to share their habits, behavior, likes and dislikes, favorite foods, and more!"--Back cover.]]></description><link>https://sitka.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S49C129939325</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://sitka.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S49C129939325</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Seed, Andy]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 31 Jan 2023 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://sitka.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/129939325049</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>&amp; Other Endangered Animals Too</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781804535080/MC.GIF&amp;client=bclibcoop&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Galileo Connection]]></title><description><![CDATA[� "The church disagreed with Galileo. That set off a controversy that rages on today. The passion remains but the issues have changed and the arguments have become more complex. Do miracles conflict with scientific laws? How did the universe begin? Does the creation story in Genesis conflict with evolution? Hummel sets these controversies in historical perspective by telling the fascinating stories of Copernicus, Kepler, Galileo and Newton. Through their eyes we see how science flourished and floundered under the influence fo the church, setting the scene for modern conflicts. Then Hummel turns to the Bible, discussing its relationship to science, the place of miracles and the biblical account of the origin of the universe. His treatment of modern controversies is respected and fair-minded. Yet he does not hesitate to criticize the views of others and argue for his own." --]]></description><link>https://sitka.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S49C129939486</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://sitka.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S49C129939486</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Hummel, Charles E.]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 31 Jan 1986 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://sitka.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/129939486049</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>Resolving Conflicts Between Science &amp; the Bible</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780877845003/MC.GIF&amp;client=bclibcoop&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Genealogy of Plant Foods]]></title><description><![CDATA[Reveals the origins, uses, and medicinal properties of over 100 plant foods . Offers entries of 106 plant foods, including their origins, histories, and religious significance as well as culinary and medicinal uses . Covers an extensive range of fruits, vegetables, grains, pulses, nuts and seeds, herbs and spices as well as "specialty" foods like chocolate, pasta, sugar, coffee, and tea . Provides nutritional and healing properties, based on the latest scientific findings on nutriceuticals and phytochemicals, to present each food as a medicine The last major study of plant foods, Origin of Cultivated Plants , was first published in 1885. Since then scientists, historians, and anthropologists have learned so much more. The Genealogy of Plant Foods fills the knowledge gap for readers today who seek to learn about the plant foods upon which we depend. Drawing on peer-reviewed medical and scientific journals, Nathaniel Altman offers accounts of the genealogy, histories, and nutritional and medicinal properties of 106 plant foods-foods that physically and spiritually sustain us. He includes fruits, vegetables, grains, pulses, nuts and seeds, herbs, and spices as well as "specialty" foods like chocolate, pasta, sugar, coffee, and tea. Readers will learn the genealogical story of these plant foods, along with the ways our ancestors prepared, ate, and used them as medicine. Learn how the avocado, yam, lentil, and other foods detailed in this book migrated from their places of origin to where they can be found today, along with their mythological powers, spiritual significance, and the ancient and modern festivals held in their honor. The author discusses each plant's nutritional and healing properties, based on the latest scientific findings on nutraceuticals and phytochemicals, to present each food as a medicine. Readers will learn the effects each food has on preventing chronic health conditions and how they can use the medicinal properties of these foods for their own personal wellness.]]></description><link>https://sitka.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S49C129939435</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://sitka.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S49C129939435</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Altman, Nathaniel]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sat, 31 Jan 2026 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://sitka.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/129939435049</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>The Spiritual, Nutritional, and Medicinal Power of the Foods That Sustain Us</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9798888503096/MC.GIF&amp;client=bclibcoop&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Winter Walk]]></title><description><![CDATA["This winter-themed addition to the best-selling Backpack Explorer series gets kids outside to observe signs of the season and learn about the science behind the changes that winter brings.

They are not distant dieties, but the ordinary, often overlooked presences - animal, plant, memory, moment - that reveal our shared vulnerability and interconnectedness with the natural world. The Glorians can be as small as an ant ferrying a coyote willow blossom to its queen or as commonplace as the night sky. But when they can collectively show us - about the radical art of attending to beauty and carrying forward against all odds - is immense. Journeying through encounters with the Glorians from the red rock desert of Utah during the pandemic to Harvard University where she teaches at the Divinity School, Williams weaves a story of astonishing personal and societal insight. As she grapples with the unsettled state of the world, she turns not to despair but to deep reflection. She sees how the Glorians are calling us to attention, not as an army, but as fellow inhabitants of our sacred, threatened home. They remind us of the power of contact between species and the profound courage - and awareness - it will take to dream a more cohesive future into being. Wise and lyrical, The Glorians is a testament to the power of witness. Terry Tempest Williams offers honest sustenance to the mind and spirit and distinguishes herself again as a trusted voice to whom we can turn, to more fully understand our times.]]></description><link>https://sitka.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S49C129900557</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://sitka.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S49C129900557</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Williams, Terry Tempest]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sat, 31 Jan 2026 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://sitka.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/129900557049</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>Visitations From the Holy Ordinary</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780802165848/MC.GIF&amp;client=bclibcoop&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Natural History of the World]]></title><description><![CDATA[Natural History of the World  offers a broad overview of the most important animals and vegetation in each region.

Known for creating and maintaining healthy aquatic ecosystems, beavers are beloved by conservationists but often clash with urban and industrial development. This conflict highlights a deep-rooted tension in how we view and manage nature. Hood examines why the beaver, one of the few species that refuses to conform to human rules, is at odds with our desire to control the environment. Despite their role in enriching biodiversity and supporting ecosystems, beavers are often seen as a "problem." Hood calls for a fundamental shift in how we approach environmental conflicts--especially those involving wildlife like the beaver. Through engaging research and insightful analysis, The Beaver Manifesto challenges readers to rethink our relationship with the environment. Should we keep fighting nature's designs, or is it time to adapt to its needs? With fresh perspectives on conservation and stewardship, this book is essential for anyone interested in environmental science, natural history, and wildlife protection. It offers a powerful exploration of how we can learn from beavers and reshape our approach to living with nature.]]></description><link>https://sitka.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S49C129938831</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://sitka.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S49C129938831</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Hood, Glynnis A.]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 31 Jan 2025 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://sitka.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/129938831049</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>Conservation, Conflict, and the Future of Wetlands</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781771607551/MC.GIF&amp;client=bclibcoop&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[What Is Regeneration?]]></title><description><![CDATA["Cut an earthworm in half, and two wiggly worms may confront you.

Kaplan shows how the scientific community can work faster and better by making reasonably small changes to the forces that shape it.]]></description><link>https://sitka.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S49C129629495</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://sitka.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S49C129629495</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Kaplan, Matt]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sat, 31 Jan 2026 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://sitka.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/129629495049</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>Scientists Who Were Ridiculed, Exiled, and Imprisoned for Being Right</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781250372277/MC.GIF&amp;client=bclibcoop&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Redemption of Wolf 302]]></title><description><![CDATA["A stunning account of an unconventional alpha male. A lover, not a fighter. That was wolf 302. A renegade with an eye for the ladies, 302 was anything but Yellowstone's perfect alpha male. For starters, he fled from danger. He begged for food from other wolves, ditched females he'd gotten pregnant, and even napped during one particularly heated battle. But this is not the story of 302's failures. This is the story of his dramatic transformation. And legendary wolf writer Rick McIntyre witnessed it all from the sidelines. As McIntyre closely observed with his spotting scope, wolf 302 began to mature, and, much to McIntyre's surprise, became the leader of a new pack in his old age. But in a year when game was scarce, could the aging wolf provide for his family? Had he changed enough to live up to the legacies of the great alpha males before him? Recounted in McIntyre's captivating storytelling voice and peppered with fascinating insights into wolf behavior, The Redemption of Wolf 302 is a powerful coming-of-age tale that will strike a chord with anyone who has struggled to make a change, big or small.]]></description><link>https://sitka.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S49C129938124</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://sitka.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S49C129938124</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[McIntyre, Rick]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Wed, 31 Jan 2024 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://sitka.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/129938124049</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>From Renegade to Yellowstone Alpha Male</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781778400759/MC.GIF&amp;client=bclibcoop&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[In Botanical Time]]></title><description><![CDATA[How do some plants live for thousands of years? Which adaptations and evolutionary strategies allow them to thrive in some of the harshest places on the planet for so long-and so well?  Renowned plantsman, author, and longtime botanical garden designer Christopher Woods takes readers on a popular science exploration of twenty-three of the world's most amazing species, seeking answers to these questions by explaining their incredible survival mechanisms. Woods emphasizes how human cultures have interacted with plants over time and what we may, critically, be able to learn from them about sustainability in extreme climates. Some species will be familiar to readers, while some are outright surprising-such as the aptly named  Welwitschia mirabilis , which lives happily in the Namib Desert for up to two thousand years, although many of those years receive zero precipitation. With over two hundred color images and lively, accessible text,  In Botanical Time  highlights fascinating facts about each charismatic plant, encouraging conservation for these species and leading us toward larger lessons about the rapidity with which humans have caused-and are causing-species to adapt.
