by Joseph HeywoodJust when longtime Michigan conservation officer Grady Service is certain that he&’s seen it all, he learns once again that he hasn&’t.After so many decades protecting his state&’s natural resources, here he still is, undercover yet again—not in a case he's developed, but dumped into a case by the Feds (with his governor&’s approval). And as time passes, he can&’t figure out if what he&’s buried in is truly a religious nationalist militia group set on overturning the U.S. Constitution, or one man&’s cash cow, a sort of half-ass redneck Ponzi aimed solely at fattening a single bank account. The newest Woods Cop Mystery, #12 in the legendary series, is another soaring brainchild of Joseph Heywood, author of the Woods Cop and Lute Bapcat Mysteries, both of which explore a way of life lived by Michigan game wardens over many different decades, from the Bapcat mysteries of the early 1900s to Grady Service and compatriots in contemporary times.

Imbued with fly-fishing throughout, this journey will seek to explore what makes certain places feel magical and meaningful. How do we define &“iconic&” when considering wild places that have seemingly held the ability to restore our souls and fill them with feelings of peace, belonging, awe, and gratitude? Each of these chosen regions has been considered an iconic destination for anyone who yearns for the wild places that are distinctly American. From the songbird-filled hardwoods of New England to the jack-pine Northwoods where wolves still sing in the night. From the Yellowstone Valley where bison feed next to tumbling trout streams to Bristol Bay where brown bears compete with anglers for salmon, steelhead, and leopard spotted rainbow trout. And each of these destinations has served as the birthplace of American literature that is intrinsically connected to the landscape and inspired by a love of the outdoors. In Casting Homeward, these legendary places will give us new stories—the stories of this century that are yet untold.

Celebrated philosopher Antony Flew entertainingly instructs on the many and varied faults that occur in argument, the power of reason, how to challenge assertions and find evidence, and how not to be persuaded by half-truths. Flew also examines poor reasoning, and why we should be concerned with finding the truth.

Why I Hate the Yankees (Why I Hate)
by Josh Pahigian Kevin O'ConnellWhy I Hate the Yankees offers a humorous take on the most beloved--and at the same time, most reviled--franchise in American professional sports. The book attempts to answer the question: Do we hate the Yankees merely because they always win, or is there more to it than just that? The authors deconstruct the origins of the so-called Yankee mystique, offer countless examples of Yankee arrogance, and critique the Yankees' easy-way-out business model whereby they merely outspend other teams for talent. The authors leave no one exempt from blame, parodying the Yankees' fans, players, and overbearing owner, and questioning the motives of the national media and Major League Baseball. The tongue-in-cheek narrative is interspersed with revealing quotes from Yankee players, fans, media members, and other writers. A must-read for any hater--or lover--of the Yankees.

Strange Tales from the African Bush
by Hannes WesselsHannes Wessels is one of the most talented writers that we at Safari Press have read in a long time. This former PH in Tanzania, Zambia, and Zimbabwe writes tales of hapless figures and derring-do gone wrong that will make you laugh out loud—a rarity in the cut-and-dry genre of big-game hunting. There is the story about a PH who wanted to impress the beautiful daughter of a client and landed up in the emergency room with a rifle barrel stuck up his posterior, and the story of a game warden who fell into a hollowed-out baobab tree on top of a sleeping leopard. This same unfortunate warden in a further misadventure is deprived of some of his very sensitive private parts during an elephant cull—probably just to prove that a run of bad luck does not necessarily have to end. Wessels also weighs in on his own experience when he tells of being seriously gored by a buffalo. Whether telling the story of rafting down an uncharted river to set up a new safari camp or highlighting the experiences of a PH such as Lew Games, you will find Wessels&’s stories so entertaining that you&’ll be sorry when the book ends. All of Hannes Wessels&’s stories are great reading, as attested by the number of his articles published in Outdoor Life, Sports Afield, and other major magazines.One of our readers wrote: &“Thanks for recommending Strange Tales . . . . I chortled and laughed and cried and had to stop reading while on the flight from Reno to Chicago—not because the flights were messed up, which they were—but because the book was so funny.&”
