Rewilding Earth: Best of 2019

Rewilding is restoring natural processes and species, then stepping back so that nature can express its own will. In essence, rewilding means giving the land back to wildlife and wildlife back to the land.

Recalling the late great Wild Earth journal, this provocative anthology, edited by Susan Morgan and John Davis, showcases the most notable original articles and art published by Rewilding Earth (rewilding.org) in 2019. Rewilding Earth is an inspiring, informative, and user-friendly manual for how to protect and restore wild places and their residents.

Reviews

“Great job on the Best of 2019 publication. I read it cover to cover and loved it. So needed. I could feel Wild Earth in there.” —Joan Maloof, Old Growth Forest Network

“The idea to make the book look like Wild Earth is brilliant. Even the font, page texture, and illustrations are like it. Kudos!” —Eileen Crist 

“Kudos on another great publication. I love what is happening at Rewilding.” —Jon Leibowitz, NWT

“As part of a diminishing tribe who vastly prefers holding words in my hand to allow them to perfuse my being, it is a great relief to have Rewilding Earth in printed form. Words on a screen skitter off my retinas as a swarm of pesky blackflies. Now, with an actual thing in hand, I can step away from the power cord and settle against a tree with written words that blend with the flute sound of Hermit Thrush and the resinous scratch and sniff of spruce bark. This is life; that other is the problem.” —Brad Meiklejohn 

“As a company dedicated to restoring ecosystems, conserving habitat, and regenerating the natural systems that sustain all life, Biohabitats understands the need for the continental-scale wildways. Aligned not only in mission, but also in spirit with the Rewilding Institute, we are proud to support its important work, including the on-line publication Rewilding Earth (rewilding.org) and the organization’s annual best-of anthologies.” —Keith Bowers, Biohabitats

“Kahtoola is proud to be part of Rewilding Earth and the community of groups working to protect and restore wildlands for all native creatures and for responsible recreation. We urge outdoor lovers of all kinds to get a copy of their latest anthology, Rewilding Earth: Best of 2019.  Let’s take on these challenges together.” —Danny Giovale, Kahtoola

40×41: Midlife Crisis Postponed

Are you 100% content with middle age?

Geo Davis’s visual and verbal mash-ups explore midlife’s merciless mockeries, paradoxes, baits and booby traps, veering erratically between hubris and humility, trepidation and temptation. Unflinching. Self-deprecating. Slightly unnerving.

This is middle age lived inside out.

Equal parts anesthetic, narcotic, stimulant, and placebo, 40×41: Midlife Crisis Postponed just might offer an alternative to the train wreck waiting around the next bend. Then again, it just might hasten the train wreck!

Warning: If you’re living a kickass midlife — meeting or exceeding your goals and thriving emotionally, physically, sexually, financially, professionally, and creatively — this book is not for you. Kudos! And if your middle aged skin is thin or you’re searching for a step-by-step guide to midlife self-improvement, this book is definitely not for you either. Sorry. And good luck.
