Illustrated by Shannon Cartwright

From its origins as a trick played by Raven (the scientific version involving plate tectonics is also included) to the flora and fauna and human explorations, this colorful children's book reveals every facet of Alaska's great Denali mountain. Employing the Gill-Cartwright signature style of mingling fiction and fact, this book is brimming with fun and fascinating information and wonder about the tallest, coldest, wildest mountain in America.

Sitka Rose

"Not an inch of her was tame" goes the story of Sitka Rose, with her long flame-colored braids woven with wildflowers. Like most heroes, Sitka Rose could do fabulous things even as an infant, when she'd climb a spruce to see the sky before she could crawl. She lassoed a whale to reach the Nome gold rush, left a trench filled by the Yukon River in her search for nuggets, and won a sled race by harnessing a grizzly bear and ten wolverines.

THIS IS ALLIE-SHE'S A WHALE POOP SNIFFIN' DOG!

Hi everyone
I want to give this elegant program from the University of Washington a plug. Heath Smith is a trainer and I got to know him working on my new book: Allie and Gator-the whale poop sniffing dogs. What they are doing is pretty incredible-and they need our support. To learn more go to: http://conservationbiology.net/donate/

SUPPORT RESEARCH OF ENDANGERED SPECIES WITH NONINVASIVE TECHNIQUES!
We are the Conservation Canines. Since 1997 we have rescued shelter dogs and put their noses to work for wildlife conservation! We have many dogs in our program, all of them special: they LOVE to play ball. All we do is pair they favorite game with finding... scat. From scat researchers discover a whole slew of information that would otherwise be very costly, invasive and sometimes dangerous to obtain from trapping or radio collaring. Take Captain, for instance. He was driven all the way from Ohio to Washington last year because his family did not know how to handle his non-stop desire to play. A few months later Captain was on a plane to Turkey to aid scientists in cataloging their wildlife. Two months and 2,000 scats later Captain is now a seasoned scat detector dog and a member of our "Pack"! Then there's Pips, who was passed from home to home until a shelter in Arizona found us. Pips is now in California searching for Pacific fisher, an elusive animal in the weasel family that might soon be listed as endangered. He is an integral component of fisher population monitoring and with his incredible scat detection skills, researchers are able to discover the most critical habitat in need or conservation. Tucker, another of our conservation dogs, is currently on a boat sniffing for orca whale scat! He hates water but luckily for him, he doesn't need to swim to sniff for his target. His nose is able to detect orcas up to one-nautical mile away. The data that the orca team collects is critical to understanding what toxins are in the water, which ultimately affect humans. From remote Turkey, to rugged California, to the salty Pacific Northwest our dogs are deployed around the world, aiding scientists everywhere. And all because they love to play with a ball.
