Should I Not Return Click Picture of Cover for Larger View Babcock, Jeffrey $19.95 Should I Not Return is the story of a young east coast climber, who joins his brother in Alaska to climb Mount McKinley. What set their climb apart from those before it, and even those afterward, was a disaster of such magnitude that it became know as North America's worst mountaineering tragedy. Prior to July of 1967 only four men had ever perished on Denali, and then, in one fell swoop, Denali--like Melville's, Great White Whale, Moby Dick--indiscriminately took the lives of seven men. The brothers survive one danger after another: a terrible train accident, a near drowning in the McKinley River, an encounter with a large grizzly, a 60 foot plunge into a gaping crevasse, swept away by a massive avalanche, and finally a climactic escape from the terror of 100 mph winds while descending from the summit.

Song of the Raven Click Picture of Cover for Larger View Kilson, Patricia $9.95 Song of the Raven is a story for children about life and death in Alaska's wilderness.

In the wild, animals depend on the death of another for their own survival. Hopefully, I have been able to show death in a very positive way in Song of the Raven.

Chairman of the Special Committee on Aging Stormbird of the Serengeti Click Picture of Cover for Larger View Porte, Joyce $14.95 SERENGETI: Those vast African grasslands where God poured out herds of wildlife to trek across the savannahs after the thunderous rains.

Warm winds carry the smell of rain and the heady odor of human toil as a stew cooks over a charcoal fire. Human tragedy unfolds in slavery and disease.

Come with me and meet the many--both native and transplant--who live, love, and die in this magnificently brutal land.
