Book Description
In Deer Drink the Moon, Liz Nakazawa brings together thirty-three poets to create a masterpiece of poetry about the state of Oregon. Organized thematically into seven of the state's ecoregions, this collection takes the reader on a statewide tour through poetry; beginning at the Pacific Ocean with William Stafford's "Waiting by the Sea," traveling through the Willamette Valley with Margaret Chula's "Soliloquy on Rain," and ending in the high deserts of Eastern Oregon with Vince Wixons "Eastern Oregon." Through memorable imagery, the poets create a tribute to Oregon that is painted in lyrics, harvested in poetry, and grown in the hearts of artists. Book jacket.

Book Description
No longer a guarded secret, hunting whitetails using a lunar strategy is one of the most effective tactics employed by successful trophy hunters. The father of hunting deer by the moon, the man who started it all, Jeff Murray, shares his best kept secrets and insights on this fascinating aspect of white-tailed deer hunting and tells you how to make it work for you. From game-tracking experts and professional biologists to hunting club managers, outfitters and guides, great hunters know that deer are inextricably linked to the lunar cycle. In his latest book on the subject, Murray teaches how to predict peak rutting activity and how to plan to be afield when big bucks are moving. Other topics include tactics to zone in on deer in transition areas and when, according to moon phase, deer will be at the field's edge and when they won't! This book also covers the different lunar cycles and how the moon triggers the rut activity. Chapters include Does the Moon Trigger the Rut? Master Mast; Timing Food Sources; Zoned Out; Timing the Transition Zone; Wallhanger Whereabouts; The Moon is Unique and Influential; and Secret Scent.

Book Description
Two blocks from the laundry, where an arc-light showed a gang of toughs on the corner, Saxon quickened her pace. Unconsciously her face set and hardened as she passed. She did not catch the words of the muttered comment, but the rough laughter it raised made her guess and warmed her checks with resentful blood. Three blocks more, turning once to left and once to right, she walked on through the night that was already growing cool. On either side were workingmen's houses, of weathered wood, the ancient paint grimed with the dust of years, conspicuous only for cheapness and ugliness. Dark it was, but she made no mistake, the familiar sag and screeching reproach of the front gate welcome under her hand. She went along the narrow walk to the rear, avoided the missing step without thinking about it, and entered the kitchen, where a solitary gas-jet flickered. She turned it up to the best of its flame. It was a small room, not disorderly, because of lack of furnishings to disorder it. The plaster, discolored by the steam of many wash-days, was crisscrossed with cracks from the big earthquake of the previous spring. The floor was ridged, wide-cracked, and uneven, and in front of the stove it was worn through and repaired with a five-gallon oil-can hammered flat and double. A sink, a dirty roller-towel, several chairs, and a wooden table completed the picture. An apple-core crunched under her foot as she drew a chair to the table. On the frayed oilcloth, a supper waited. She attempted the cold beans, thick with grease, but gave them up, and buttered a slice of bread. The rickety house shook to a heavy, prideless tread, and through the inner door came Sarah, middle-aged, lop-breasted, hair-tousled, her face lined with care and fat petulance....

From the bestselling author of Rich and Pretty comes a suspenseful and provocative novel keenly attuned to the complexities of parenthood, race, and class. Leave the World Behind explores how our closest bonds are reshaped—and unexpected new ones are forged—in moments of crisis. Amanda and Clay head out to a remote corner of Long Island expecting a vacation: a quiet reprieve from life in New York City, quality time with their teenage son and daughter, and a taste of the good life in the luxurious home they’ve rented for the week. But a late-night knock on the door breaks the spell. Ruth and G. H. are an older couple—it’s their house, and they’ve arrived in a panic. They bring the news that a sudden blackout has swept the city. But in this rural area—with the TV and internet now down, and no cell phone service—it’s hard to know what to believe. Should Amanda and Clay trust this couple—and vice versa? What happened back in New York? Is the vacation home, isolated from civilization, a truly safe place for their families? And are they safe from one other?
