SUMMARY:Booksigning First Friday December 2nd
DESCRIPTION:Filled with mystery conjured by unparalleled biodiversity\, the Klamath Mountains tell numerous\nstories of evolution and resilience shaped over long periods of time. Geology is the defining\ncharacter of this range\, with numerous smaller ranges—including the Siskiyou\, Marble\, and\nTrinity mountains—forming a jigsaw puzzle of big-shouldered river canyons and sharp ridgelines.\nWithin the Klamath Knot\, geology also shapes climate with wet coastal rainforests in the west\nand dry semi-deserts in the east. \nMichael Kauffmann and Justin Garwood co-edited a new work titled The Klamath Mountains: A\nNatural History with the help of 32 other authors. Experts in all aspects of the region’s natural\nhistory came together and are the first to tell the entire story. \n  \nMichael and Justin will be discussing and signing books on December 2nd at the Northwest\nNature Shop from 6 to 8 pm and on December 3rd will be presenting at Southern Oregon University from 7-9pm.\nThese events are co-sponsored by the Northwest Nature Shop\, Rogue Valley Audubon Society\,\nand KS Wild.

SUMMARY:An Evening with Richard Crossley
DESCRIPTION:Richard Crossley’s field guides have been Northwest Nature Shop favorites for years.  Richard Crossley is an internationally acclaimed birder\, photographer and award-winning author of ‘The Crossley ID Guide’ series. Born in Yorkshire\, he also lived in Japan\, and birded worldwide before settling down in the USA. \nRichard will talk about birding lessons learned from living on 3 continents to paying back through conservation initiatives and youth birding. It will be a fast-paced story told in a Yorkshire brogue\, through a camera lens that loves color and art\, but with a strong point of view.\nCrazy\, wildly passionate\, driven and single-minded are just a few of the words used to describe his love of birding and the outdoors. He quickly became obsessed with the newfound opportunities provided by digital technology\, Photoshop and book design. The Crossley ID Guide series was created. The innovative design shows a more lifelike and complete picture\, challenging many of the traditional ‘old-school’ book layouts. With humor and depth Richard will highlight the thoughts behind the revolutionary ‘The Crossley ID Guide’ series to self-publishing his latest guide on Western Birds – some of it will surprise you! \n Come and listen to Richard’s optimistic outlook for birding\, lifestyles and conservation. It’s sure to change the way you think! \nFree admission\, no assigned seating. 7 pm. Doors open at 6:30 pm. \nThis presentation is at Bellview Grange\, 1050 Tolman Creek Rd\, Ashland\, OR 97520

SUMMARY:Journey Book Release and Signing with Local Author Beckie Elgin
DESCRIPTION:Join us at Northwest Nature Shop as Rogue Valley author Beckie Elgin\, launches her book “Journey the Amazing Story of OR-7\, the Oregon Wolf that Made History.” This thoughtful\, creative\, and well researched book is written for middle school aged readers\, with wide appeal to adults – a must read for anyone that loves wolves! Beckie will read a passage from the book and be available for signing. \nSpace is limited! Please RSVP to jeanine@kswild.org \n“Most of you know the story of this famous wolf. Journey left his homeland in northeast Oregon in the fall of 2011. He traveled south\, becoming the first wild wolf in western Oregon for over sixty years. Journey then headed into California where he made headline news as the first Canis lupus to enter the Golden State for nearly a century. By now a household name\, Journey returned to southern Oregon where he met up with a black female wolf. Since then they’ve produced three litters of pups. \nI felt compelled to write about this tenacious and important canine. He inspired me\, as he did so many others. I decided to create a book for a middle-grade audience\, but one that would also appeal to readers of all ages. This allowed me some freedom in the writing style and also enabled me to write a book that would be educational for young people. This summer I found a terrific publisher\, Inkwater Press in Portland. The people at Inkwater are dedicated to the environment and are especially fond of wolves. They took Journey under their wings and did a beautiful job editing and designing the book. They will continue to help the cause by promoting the book and organizing readings and other events.”
