if you are open to paradigm shifts.......2005-06-03
This book appears to have not been edited at all. It took me a few pages to get past all the typos; I mean seriously, a LOT of them. But then you realize it really flows. Some of the typos are actually creative wordings. Even though they appear at first to be mistakes, they are purposeful and add to the free and creative spirit of the book. In a way, I suppose having all the mistakes and creative use of new words is a functional part of helping to facilitate the mind to shift. If it was all tightly written, it would definitely have a different feel, and the message would come through differently, and perhaps not in quite the right way, if that makes any sense. The content itself is fantastic. I found it enlightening, yet simple to understand. It pulls you in and takes you through, and you find yourself just following. But it is also provocative and it makes you think. You still have to decide and figure it out for yourself! What I love about it is, it gives real information, that to me makes more sense than almost anything I've ever heard. I frequently felt pulled back into the thoughts and feelings of my childhood, to a time when I sensed what was real, before it all got skewed by family and societal conditioning. Also, I have read many books in all the areas of spirituality and self-help, and this seemed to pull it all together. It brings it all right down to the very essence. In some ways, I feel that all the books I have previously read prepped me and helped me to easily digest and integrate the ideas in the book. On the other hand, you could read just this book alone, and get the same basic idea that all the other books are trying to convey, but without all those other (now seemingly) unnecessary details.

"It has been sixty years, thirty wolf generations, since the last wolf pups were poisoned in the Yellowstone," writes McNamee. With the passage of time, the world is a safer place for the beleaguered wolf, so that, when the Interior Department conducted hearings on whether the wolf should be reintroduced to Yellowstone, some 160,000 letters came pouring in to Washington from across the country--the largest official citizen response to any federal action in history. Even so, the reintroduction effort was not without its divisive politics, and environmentalists squared off against so-called Wise Use movement activists in court and on the streets. Those political debates heated up even further when fewer than a dozen wolf individuals were finally released in Yellowstone National Park two years ago. McNamee tells this story knowingly--and very well.
Book Description
A New York Times Notable BookThe inside account of the environmental story of the decade Early in this century, U.S. government agents trapped, poisoned, or shot every wolf they could track down in and around Yellowstone National Park. By 1926, not one wolf was left alive. After generations of struggle between the wolf's friends and foes, the wolf was returned to Yellowstone in January of 1995. Thomas McNamee chronicles the drama of the reintroduction, the political machinations behind it, and the harrowing details of the wolves' own lives. In his telling, it is easy to see why this saga has stirred the imagination of a nation.

the definitive book on the Yellowstone wolf reintroduction; and more.......2006-10-24
This is not only the authoritative account of the reintroduction of wolves to Yellowstone, but also a profound insight into the process of getting things done in American conservation. The return of the Yellowstone wolf was the greatest triumph of species restoration in American history, and there are many lessons to be learned from this book. It's also a thrilling murder mystery, as federal agents track down the killer of the magnificent Wolf Number Ten. Written for adults, but great for kids as well.
The Return of the Wolf to Yellowstone.......2001-11-26
I loved this book! The only complaint I have against the book I bought was the lack of pictures. I had checked this book out from the library and it was full of pictures of the wolf.
If you have any interest in the return of the wolf to Yellowstone, this book will definitely be an asset to your library.
I would rate this book a '5', if it was the illustrated issue.
A fresh perspective on wolves.......1999-05-21
Residents this reason have heard lots about wolves, but Thomas McNamee brings a fresh perspective to the story. He was a part-time rancher himself while writing this captivating book, but was also drawn to the wolves more deeply than he had first realized.
McNamee himself is a character in this book, giving it an inviting and personal air, but does not force his views on the reader. He shows the reader a federal wildlife agent tracking a wolf-killer outside of Red Lodge and even opens the window on curious rivalries and tensions between agencies involved in various chapters of the wolf story. Parts of the book are almost dramatic in their intensity, while others slow the pace as the wolves romp and play.
A smooth reading, funny yet informative book........1999-03-16
I have been studying the reintroduction of wolves to Yellowstone for some time, yet this book not only gave me tons of new information it also made the information palatable by bringing with it humor and wit. Mr McNamee has an insiders view, being both a rancher and a wolf lover. Few people could see through both seta of eyes as clearly as he does, yet he makes it seem so easy. If you are to pick one book about the wolves of Yellowstone to teach you as much as possible I recommend this book to you. I do feel like he rushes details at the end of the book, but since the saga is not over, the book was hard to finish I suppose. Other than that small detail this is a great book with lots of facts and easy, witty, reading. Enjoy
A compelling read.......1997-10-22
Thomas McNamee is a passionate writer as well as a consummate naturalist, and what he has done in this book is a remarkable feat; to tell the story of the Yellowstone wolves from the perspective of a denizen of the Greater Yellowstone ecosystem/one who owns a ranch within the wolves' new domaine/and an enrivro who questions his own, in addition to other's, emotional involvement with the issues raised by the their re-introduction. To do this all in a book as readable as this one is is a great feat. If you love the West, love Nature, or just want a surprisingly suspenseful story of the animals survival, the political and social implications of the wolf and, by extension, the ideals of the Endangered Species Act, you must read this book -- You won't be disappointed. It's a personal journey with implications for all of us who care about the imperiled natural world.

from the back of the book.......2006-06-13
The author has once again opened up the Gospel in totally new ways.His first book was titled The Way of the Wolf: The Gospel in New Images. Through compelling character--such as Ursula, friend of children; Chuda-ko, the pirate; Hatfield, the dhariki master, and his formidable opponent, Jennings--the mundane becomes special and the transcendent touches everyday life. And the silver wolf, indeed, returns, a frightening yet strangely comforting presence. The author's stories, poems, and songs enlighten readers without blinding them to the message.
Book Description

Inspired by the plight of the Mexican gray wolf, retiree Bobbie Holaday formed a citizens advocacy group and soon found herself in the center of a firestorm of controversy, with environmentalists taking sides against ranchers and neighbors against neighbors. This book tells her story for the first time, documenting her eleven-year effort to bring the gray wolf back to Arizona's Blue Range.

Lon Chaney, Jr. would be proud........2004-11-06
Jeff Rovin makes the wishes of monster fans come true with this novel. Picking up at the climax of ABBOTT AND COSTELLO MEET FRANKENSTEIN, we are finally told what "really" happened to Lawrence Talbot/the Wolf Man, Count Dracula, and the Frankenstein Monster following that film's conclusion.
Fifty years later in 1998, the Wolf Man and the Monster are discovered alive in the ruins of the basement at Mornay Castle. Dr. Caroline Cooke, the new owner, agrees to not only help Talbot find a cure for his lycanthropy, but to finally destroy the Monster once and for all.
Everything soon falls apart when Dracula learns of all this, and sets in motion a diabolical plan that will turn the Monster into his indestructable slave and give the Wolf Man a taste of "true death."
Rovin's characterizations of the three monsters fit so perfectly that it's difficult to imagine this novel as anything other than the Universal film that SHOULD have been made, but wasn't.
Lawrence Talbot is just as tragic and heroic as Lon Chaney, Jr. portrayed him, battling his own inner demons all while trying to use his power to thwart the greater evil of Dracula, while the Count himself possesses all the charm and nobility that Bela Lugosi brought to the role. The Frankenstein Monster is given less to do than his two co-stars, but he still plays an active part in the story. By no means does Rovin leave him on an operating table; he is mobile!
The book is loaded with in-jokes that will appeal to the die-hard fans of the Universal films, and some of these references even fall far outside the realm of the Dracula/Frankenstein/Wolf Man sagas.
My one gripe is that Rovin's dates for the events seen on the screen seem a bit off, especially considering the amount of time the monsters supposedly remained dormant between films. Other than that, Return of the Wolf Man is an excellent read, filled with action, suspense, and the perfect amount of horror. A welcome new addition to a classic series!
Fun homage.......2004-01-01
Corny, but I liked it a lot. Also like Harry Shannon's wonderful 2003 novel "Night of the Werewolf," 'Return of the WOlf Man' is a fun homage to the genre packed with inside jokes (Shannon's terrifying romp uses the names of horror authors as characters, Jeff Rovin features the people in and around the great Universal monster films as characters). Worth tracking down.
TRIPE.......2003-12-08
I had to force myself to finish this one. Good idea, bad execution. I can't believe anyone would buy this for $18.00 as shown above.
The really bad thing about this novel........2003-02-14
The REALLY BAD thing about Rovin's novel is that he has Larry Talbot claim he has eaten nothing but human flesh since 1941. Even allowing for his prolonged periods of 'death' between movies, this seems silly. Between full moons, Talbot is just a guy! And no lightweight, either.
That's my only, piddling beef. Rovin's book is almost as much fun as the Anno Dracula novels and stories of Kim Newman. Like them it is brim-full of in-jokes and cross-references from our favourite genre.
Ever wondered what became of blustery Mr McDougall after Talbot bit him? Whether the Florida of A&C MEET... was the same Florida stalked years later by another monster icon? What really happened to vampire newborn Sandra Mornay after the Frankenstein Monster threw her out the window? What became of Chick and Wilbur? And what happened to Lawrence Talbot's second chance at normal life but we all knew Dr Edelmann's theory was bunk, didn't we)? Rovin answers all that, and more. Pity about poor Professor Stevens though....
Tremendous fun! A pity Jeff could not continue with later volumes in this 'series'....
THEY'RE BACK...WITH A VENGEANCE!.......2002-07-03
I have always been a huge Universal classic horror fan. ...Picking up where we last saw the Wolf Man, Dracula, and the Frankenstein Monster, Rovin continues the legendary saga and carries it into present day Florida. The Wolf Man and the Monster are revived by accident when the heir to Mornay Castle attempts to discover what is in the sealed off basement. Dracula, who has been in hiding for 50 years, learns of this, and is determined to give the Monster a pliable brain he can control, as well as eliminate his nemesis :the Wolf Man. The result is an amazing adventure filled with thrills and chills. Rovin's writing is superb, and his characterizations of his monster characters are exactly what monster fans will expect. The most intriguing scenes are between Dracula and Talbot/the Wolf Man. The book is also wrought with inside jokes, and some character names are taken from the movies. There is also an amusing parody of Lugosi's immortal Dracula line," I never drink - wine." Talbot says " I never eat - chicken." I have read this book three times already, and it never gets tiring. If you love the classic monster films of Universal or are simply interested, buy this book. Trust me, you won't regret it!

Book Description
1923. American screenwriter, short story writer and novelist. Vance's The Lone Wolf books feature Michael Lanyard as a charming sort of rogue, a European jewel thief with a soft spot for damsels in distress, trained in the criminal arts by the mysterious Irishman, Bourke. This is the fifth volume in his Lone Wolf stories. The book begins: I love you, said Michael Lanyard. He spoke in French; and that simple phrase, covered by the surging song of strings and woodwinds, was inaudible to other ears. Only the woman with him heard and, hearing, roused from the reverie into which she too insensibly had lapsed, turning back from the prismatic pageantry of the dance eyes whose grave regard gave never a clue to the emotions his words inspired.

Book Description
At the age of 18, Alan Webb was already a legend, the wunderkind who in 2001 broke a 36-year-old record by running a 3:53:43 mile-a full 2 seconds faster than former record holder Jim Ryun. Today, after appearing in newspapers and magazines nationwide, the fastest high schooler in history is now a 19-year-old, Nike-sponsored professional whose life is awash in challenges. In Sub-4:00, Chris Lear gives readers a look into Webb's world as he tries to balance the demands of college, media attention, and injuries, all while keeping focused on the sport he loves. Runners everywhere will find Webb's story an inspiration, especially younger athletes who will unearth life lessons in his successes, setbacks, and overwhelming commitment. This book's publication will coincide with the World Track and Field Championship, where Webb is expected to be one of the youngest competitors to ever qualify for the American team.

Sub 4 Alan Webb.......2007-08-27
I found the book very interesting and factual of how good prospective high school athletes can be ground up like chopped beef. The USA top division I coaches have a bad repretation for running and competing the good prospective Olympic athlete in the ground from European coaches. The book was exciting when the races were described and very dissappointing when the results of the biggest and last races of the year were not there because there were thirty-three pages missing in the book and of course at the dmost interesting part. Very dissappointing. WMW
ok.......2006-09-29
at the end of the book i actually disliked Webb. it was a story about someone who was not patient enough and thougt of himself as above everyone, i actually think him running such great times as a highschooler hurt him,he did not give the coach at michigan a fair chance and found ways to make everything a drama. the part i did enjoy though was reading about the other people from michigan and the fact that chris lear is such a great writer and really connects with the reader.
So Much Potential, So Little Patience.......2006-09-11
In a space of several months in 2001, Alan Webb ran the fastest indoor mile by a U.S. high school athlete and then set a national high school record for the magical distance, breaking a mark that reigned supreme for 36 years by the legendary Jim Ryun.
Author Chris Lear takes the reader on the rocky journey Webb runs while carrying his fantastic prep record to the college ranks and beyond. In particular interest is how Webb deals with coaching legend Ron Warhurst at the University of Michigan.
The pressure on Webb from outside the confines of the college campus are chronicled without editorial comment from Lear. It is my feeling Webb comes across as a boorish teenage tennis player or figure skater that must have things his/her way and coaches last about as long as a pair of training shoes for an ultra-marathoner.
Webb's "team" that was around him when rewrote the prep record book seemingly derailed Warhurst's efforts before his star runner went on his first workout as a Wolverine. One must wonder if they had the best interest of Webb in mind or if dollar signs were circling that track.
There was the lure of professional money from shoe companies and race promoters who were certainly salivating at the chance to have the great American star wear its logo or compete on the domestic/international stage.
But the blame for being swayed by so many voices clearly falls on Webb. And if this tug-of-war would have been in a bigger profile collegiate sport, it would have been as big a national story as - for example - Maurice Clarett's public battles with the Ohio State brass and coaches from a few years ago.
Sometimes the biggest search for a young world-class athlete is for those who will provide good advice over what can be profitable today. For every Tiger Woods or John McEnroe - who used brief collegiate careers as a springboard to professional success - there are hundreds like Webb that want it all now, but end up with fleeting glimpses of brilliance.
Reaching the PRO's.......2004-09-20
Alan Webb in this story strikes me as more a baby than a runner who has ran under 4 minutes in the mile. He whines about being hurt and not getting trained right. Warhurst is one of the greatest american distance coaches, if you can't run under him don't run at all. Nate seemed more likeable and more of a team player than Webb did in this book. Being for Illionis I love how Webb lost to Don Sage in 1500 meter final. Towards the end of the book, you knew he was going to quit michigan, now granted Webb has become very big in the sport but for a while he struggled after leaving Michigan and going back to his old coach. Good Book, if you like Webb, you might change your view of him, Nate is awesome, so is Tim Broe
Excellent account of Webb and the collegiate running scene.......2004-09-03
Chris Lear has done it again! Following an exellent debut with "Running With the Buffaloes" he comes back with "Sub 4:00" -- a great account of Alan Webb's first and only season at the University of Michigan.
Lear is the only guy out there writing about the collegiate running scene as most books in the running section at your bookstore revolve around training logs or how to run your first 10K. It's about time someone took a different path and I'm glad Lear has done so.
Webb's tumultuous season at UM is well-depicted. The tough workouts, the injuries, and most importantly, the hot and cold relationship Webb has with his collegiate coach. Webb is pulled in a couple of different directions, whether to turn pro and go back and train under his high school coach, where he had great success; or stay at UM where he has friends and training partners. After awhile one can tell where Webb is going to end up.
What makes Lear's books so good is he gets right into the action. Just like his first book, he has intimate access to the team, it's workouts, meetings, and private moments. He's with Webb in the residence halls, on solitary and team workouts, at the meets, and even on the road in his car. Lear isn't an outside observer, he's right there. Also, the main supporting character, Brannen, gets his fair share of coverage.
This isn't just a book for runners, but anyone interested in athletics, particularly college athletics and how the system works and how coaches are under pressure to win -- yes, even so-called minor sport track and field coaches.
I highly recommend this excellent book and hope Lear has more coming down the road.
