VALLEY OF THE DUNES

Valley of the Dunes is an intimate look at one of America’s most spectacular and fascinating regions – Colorado’s San Luis Valley and Great Sand Dunes National Park. 120 full color coffee-table images created over 25 years captures the spirit and color of a land apart – a mosaic of dunes, landscapes and wildlife bordered on either side by rugged, snowcapped mountains. Photos are accompanied by the eloquent text of writer, Audrey DeLella Benedict, seasoned naturalist and passionate advocate for the conservation of Colorado’s mountain landscapes.

Valley of the Dunes was named the 2005 winner for Photography books by USABookNews.com

CITY FOXES

Mom, Dad and six baby foxes grow up in an urban cemetery. Denver photographer Wendy Shattil was visiting her grandmother’s grave when she chanced upon a family of foxes. That encounter led to this wonderful children’s book. City Foxes was named “1998 Outstanding Science Trade Book for Children” by the National Science Teachers Association and Children’s Book Council.

“How Wendy Shattil was able to chronicle the activities of these foxes is remarkable.”

Colorado’s diverse urban wildlife is featured in writing and photos. Deer in gardens, owls on light poles, and eagles against the skyline are among 110 color and black & white photos. “In Close to Home, we introduce city dwellers to more of their wildlife neighbors.”

WHEN NATURE HEALS

The Greening of Rocky Mountain Arsenal

The fact that a thriving wildlife population exists in the shadow of Denver, Colorado, despite contamination and clean-up activities portends tremendous potential for the area. It is impossible to observe wildlife at the arsenal and not come away with a renewed hope that our damage to the land is reversible and salvageable. The animals have chosen this territory as home.

THE WILDLIFE DETECTIVES


Scientists analyze clues to link suspects to wildlife crimes such as elk poaching in Yellowstone National Park. Stunning color photographs graphically illustrate the pages, but do not overwhelm the text. The effect is that of a scrapbook of information with photos that enrich a real-life animal detective story. 2001 Outstanding Science Trade Book for Children.

“If all information books were structured as well as this one, students would read and read and read.”
