Book Signing

This year IWRC is pleased to announce a book signing on Saturday, October 23rd 2010. Books for signing will be available for purchase during the symposium.

Mary Stuever – The Forester’s Log: Musings from the Woods

Over the last quarter century, Mary Stuever captured stories from her work as a forester in the American Southwest in her monthly column, “The Forester’s Log,” which also appears in each issue of IWRC’s Journal of Wildlife Rehabilitation. Gathered together in her book, these tales spin a web of words that explain why forest fires are larger, why trees are being cut from forests, why kids need to spend times outdoors, why catastrophic burn areas need planted and protected, and why people and land share an incredible bond that should be nurtured and honored.

Jean Luc Cartron – The Raptors of New Mexico

Originally from France, Jean-Luc Cartron has lived and worked on several continents, finding his passion in the wide-open spaces of New Mexico. He became fascinated by the birds of prey and has studied their ecology and conservation for nearly twenty years. Raptors of New Mexico will provide readers with a comprehensive treatment of all hawks, eagles, kites, vultures, falcons, and owls breeding or wintering in New Mexico, or simply migrating through the state. This landmark study is also beautifully illustrated with more than six hundred photographs, including the work of more than one-hundred photographers and nearly fifty species distribution maps. http://www.drylandsinstitute.org/pNMoffice.shtm
