$17.50A Road Runs Through It Author: Edited by Thomas Reed Petersen
Foreword by Annie Proulx
One of the most critical issues facing the re-wilding of America is roads—the 500,000 miles of roads built in
federal forest lands to access natural resources and abandoned when the resources were removed. This important
book studies this problem through a collection of essays by some of today’s finest nonfiction writers, including Peter Matthiessen, Barry Lopez, David Quammen, David Petersen, Stephanie Mills, Phil Condon, and two dozen others.
All royalties from the book will be donated to Wildlands CPR, a nonprofit organization established in 1995 to work with grassroots organizations and individuals to consolidate road-fighting information into a single network.

When the United States government conducted atmospheric nuclear tests in southern Nevada during the 1950s and 1960s, radioactive fallout drifted downwind onto unsuspecting citizens who were never adequately warned of its approach or told what precautions to take. Instead, the government assured them there was no danger. While the fallout spread across the whole nation, it was residents of Nevada, Utah, and Arizona who received the largest doses and later exhibited an unusually high incidence of cancer. This unusually patriotic population concluded that they had been betrayed by their government. In this Pultizer-nominated investigation of America's nuclear testing, author Philip Fradkin exposes a tragic episode in American history.
