Lands of Brighter Destiny:
The Public Lands of the American West

Picture
A very early effort to introduce to the American public the wealth of public lands of the American West, while also looking at the issues inherent in competing interests for use of their resources. Also included interviews with policymakers of the day with very different views on the importance of the Land. Commissioned by Fulcrum Books.










Of Discovery and Destiny:
An Anthology of American Writers and the American Land

Picture
I conceptualized, wrote and edited, with co-contributor Fulcrum publisher Robert C. Baron, writings about the mythology, sacredness, and beauty of the power that is America's wilderness lands and looks at how our wealth of natural resources have come to define us as a people. Fulcrum Books













South African Passage:
The Diaries of the Wilderness Leadership School

Picture
I conceptualized and edited the rough-written journals of young people who were taken to and through the South African wilderness on a journey of their souls, led by the great conservationist Ian Player. Fulcrum Books.

As I sat on the rocky bank, I watched a thousand years of the life and the rhythms of survival pass during one sunset; a thousand moments of evolution and creation marching forward to this one moment of life and death. The time passed invisibly before my eyes, destruction and creation in the one eternity and one millisecond I observed on the hill overlooking the Toklat River. It was nourishment of life itself, by life feeding on life just as the dark rolled into dusk and then on, into new days...



"What is life? It is the flash of a firefly in the night. It is the breath of a buffalo in the wintertime. It is the little shadow which runs across the grass and loses itself in the sunset."  
Reputedly the last words of Crowfoot
Blackfoot (Siksika) chief

      It is about growth, transition, responsibility and discovery.

This is a book about South Africa.
