Böcker av Caroline Fraser

The first comprehensive historical biography of Laura Ingalls Wilder, the beloved author of the Little House on the Prairie book series

Two facts: 1) in the 1970s, the Pacific Northwest had the highest percentage of serial killers anywhere; 2) the area had for the previous century been a hub of unregulated industry that ravaged nature and residents alike. Murder: A Memoir is a blend of true crime, memoir, and history, a comprehensive reckoning with the past. It will do something that's never been done before: connect actual murders to huge, slow, environmental crimes. It's not a memoir of one person's life - either Ted Bundy's or Caroline's - so much as a memoir of a vicious time and a deadly place. It will offer a highly specific portrait of an era when life was cheap, and industry, operating without restrictions, trumped all.

Breathtaking in scope and ambition, rewilding aims to save species by restoring habitats, reviving migration corridors, and brokering peace between people and predators. A "methodical, lyrical" (Sacramento News & Review) story of scientific discovery and grassroots action, Rewilding the World offers hope for a richer, wilder future.
