"Eighteenth century time travel, grinding existential angst and hearty dollops of Buddhist-flavored metaphysics combine to make Jim Lindsey's `A Travellers Guide for Lost Souls' a delightful adventure to read. His characters come alive on the page. The plot twists through the picturesque Granite Coast of Nova Scotia. Ultimately, the novel lifts readers to ponder an unexpected realm of departed spirits who linger among us."

Winner of the Colorado Book Award in 2005 for non-fiction, Wild at Heart is one of the most exciting new Colorado outdoors books to be published in years. This eminently useful and gorgeously-illustrated field guide to the plants, animals, birds, and ecology of the Roaring Fork Valley in particular and Southern Colorado in general provides a library of fascinating information in a compact book that easily fits into daypacks or backpacks. Truly a comprehensive natural history guide, Wild at Heart encompasses Snowmass Village and Aspen, Colorado, and the surrounding wilderness areas of Maroon Bells-Snowmass, Holy Cross, Hunter-Fryingpan, and the Collegiate Peaks and beyond.

Called Snowmass Village: Wild at Heart in a tribute to the Town of Snowmass which helped fund this book, Wild at Heart will appeal to nature lovers all over the Southern Rockies. Not only does the book offer a detailed description and color photo on each of the 423 plants, 112 birds, and 49 mammals covered, but it also includes intriguing tidbits, statistics, and information on the natural history, myths, ecology, environmental status, herbal properties, and mountain life zones of these plants and animals.
