Publisher's summary
The Wolf and the Warlander trilogy captures the incredible adventures of two unlikely friends: Seti the wolf and Ghost the Warlander horse. Brought together by unusual circumstances, these natural enemies grow up alongside one another, facing the challenges that arise from their opposing instincts. Somehow, through the hardships of life in the wild and vicious attacks by predators, they forge an unforgettable, inspirational alliance.
The Forever Time - audiobook one - introduces the world where these friends meet and become joined as spiritual brothers. Seti, orphaned as a newborn, is found by Ghost and his father. Ghost persuades his father to allow the young pup to live with them until he's old enough to strike out on his own. The pasture becomes their playground as Ghost and Seti romp and explore.
Despite their differences, they find common interests: the love of adventure, a shared fascination with nature, and a strong desire to push their boundaries. Their precarious friendship is breached when Seti's father, a strong and brutal pack leader named Shadow, discovers his son is alive. Seti is taken from the only home he has ever known and is forced to adopt the harsh and unforgiving life of a wolf in the wild. When a marauding wolf attacks Ghost, Seti is faced with a fight between his instincts and his loyalty.
Ride the Wind - audiobook two - continues with Ghost taking a prominent role in the daily life of his herd. As he learns to be a leader, he also begins the search for a mate who will share his life. But this idyll is disrupted when Ghost is captured by humans and forced into the role of pack horse by a cruel master.
Meanwhile, a catastrophic fire breaks out in the forest, forcing Seti and his family on an epic journey to find a new home. The wolf and the Warlander are reunited through a remarkable series of events that culminate in a natural disaster that proves costly to their friendship and to their individual spirits. It's only through the bittersweet grace of forgiveness that they reach a poignant and meaningful peace.
The Long Road - audiobook three - opens with the two friends in close proximity near the pasture where they grew up together. Ghost deals with a physical disability that proves costly to the welfare of his family, and he must summon perseverance on a level beyond his endurance. Old rivalries erupt as Seti's earlier choices threaten to upend the very fabric of his family life.
Ghost is presented with an opportunity to settle old disagreements and heal wounds in an epic, cross-country race, but he struggles with self-doubt. Seti devises a plan that leads Ghost to a stunning realization and a thrilling display of courage that promises to ensure the legend of the wolf and the Warlander will never be forgotten.

Coyote America is both an environmental and a deep natural history of the coyote. It traces both the five-million-year-long biological story of an animal that has become the "wolf" in our backyards and its cultural evolution from a preeminent spot in Native American religions to the hapless foil of the Road Runner. A deeply American tale, the story of the coyote in the American West and beyond is a sort of Manifest Destiny in reverse.

Story
In 1908, near Folsom, New Mexico, a cowboy discovered the remains of a herd of extinct giant bison. By examining flint points embedded in the bones, archeologists later determined that a band of humans had killed and butchered the animals 12,450 years ago. This discovery vastly expanded America's known human history but also revealed the long-standing danger Homo sapiens presented to the continent's evolutionary richness. Distinguished scholar Dan Flores's ambitious history chronicles the epoch in which humans and animals have coexisted in the "wild new world" of North America.

That the dog evolved from the wolf is an accepted fact of evolution and history, but the question of how wolf became dog has remained a mystery, obscured by myth and legend. How the Dog Became the Dog posits that dog was an evolutionary inevitability in the nature of the wolf and its human soul mate. The natural temperament and social structure of humans and wolves are so similar that as soon as they met on the trail they recognized themselves in each other.

One of the biggest hurdles people over 50 have to overcome is the mindset about their age. There’s an old cliché of “age ain’t nothin’ but a number.” But as we all know, getting older does have certain obstacles such as dwindling health, limited income, and the end of long-time careers followed by “now what in the heck do I do?"

Based on interviews with artists of all kinds, The Death of the Artist argues that we are in the midst of an epochal transformation. If artists were artisans in the Renaissance, bohemians in the 19th century, and professionals in the 20th, a new paradigm is emerging in the digital age, one that is changing our fundamental ideas about the nature of art and the role of the artist in society.

Story
Coyote America is both an environmental and a deep natural history of the coyote. It traces both the five-million-year-long biological story of an animal that has become the "wolf" in our backyards and its cultural evolution from a preeminent spot in Native American religions to the hapless foil of the Road Runner. A deeply American tale, the story of the coyote in the American West and beyond is a sort of Manifest Destiny in reverse.

Story
That the dog evolved from the wolf is an accepted fact of evolution and history, but the question of how wolf became dog has remained a mystery, obscured by myth and legend. How the Dog Became the Dog posits that dog was an evolutionary inevitability in the nature of the wolf and its human soul mate. The natural temperament and social structure of humans and wolves are so similar that as soon as they met on the trail they recognized themselves in each other.

Story
James Morris Webb argues that the Black man was the father of civilization, born in the land of Egypt, and that the different branches of science and art were simply transmitted to other races, which, as the ages have rolled by have only been enlarged - and to some extent improved upon. The narrative is rich in quotes from the Bible.

Story
> Walking is not as well known as Thoreau's other works Walden, The Maine Woods, and Civil Disobedience. But it is a good place to start exploring his writing because it was his last book, in 1862, published by the Atlantic Monthly shortly after his death. It is less well known because it is general, as opposed to singular, in focus. It is his summing up of his thoughts on life: One should saunter through life and take notice; one need not go far.

Story
Without Japan, you probably wouldn't have your car...but how much do you really know about this fascinating country's rich and colorful history? For a country that’s brought us household names as diverse as Nintendo, Toyota, and Sony, shockingly little is known about Japan’s rich and complex history. Like many westerners, you may have a love of Japanese culture and cuisine.
