Ms. Ruckdeschel&#8217;s biography, and the way this wandering soul came to settle for so many decades on Cumberland Island, is big enough on its own, but Mr. Harlan hints at bigger questions. Who does this island belong to? The Park Service, the Carnegies, Carol&#151;and, for that matter, the turtles? What is the difference between stewardship and ownership? Carol Ruckdeschel found a home as the latest in a series of women who have tried to protect Cumberland Island. The difference being that, rather than being a Carnegie, she is a benevolent invasive species of one.&#8221;&#151;Wall Street Journal&#147;Harlan intimately and expansively profiles a fearless Southern island dweller. . . . A moving homage and an adventure story that artfully articulates the ferocities of nature and humanity.&#8221;&#151;Kirkus Reviews&#147;Carol Ruckdeschel isn&#8217;t quite your mother's idea of a role model, but she is my idea of an inspiring woman. Her gifts are many, her commitment resolute, her contribution world-class. And boy&#151;as you&#8217;ll read&#151;has she had fun. What a story! It's as beautiful as the island she loves.&#8221;&#151;Carl Safina, author of The View from Lazy Point and A Sea in Flames&#147;Now this is an adventure story. Untamed is the true-life saga of a brilliant, beautiful woman who became her own tall tale. Just to survive, Carol Ruckdeschel had to become as elusive and mysterious as the creatures she first set off into the wilderness to study. Hunted by her enemies, stalked by an ex-lover, living off the land, Ruckdeschel found herself locked in a battle of wits to stay alive and pursue her scientific passion. This is no Sad Girl on a One-Year Quest for Love and Backbone; Carol Ruckdeschel is on a mission, and she's smart and lethal enough to deal with anyone who tries to stop her.&#8221;&#151;Christopher McDougall, author of Born to Run&#147;A true action hero, Carol Ruckdeschel is using her powers of insight, persuasion, and personal commitment to protect a wilderness island off the coast of Georgia. She&#8217;s not just bemoaning the tragic decline of the natural world that sustains all life on earth, humans and turtles included. She is also putting her own life on the line to save what&#8217;s left. Thanks to Carol, there is hope for wild creatures who have preceded humankind by hundreds of millions of years&#151;and hope for an enduring future for ourselves as well.&#8221;&#151;Sylvia Earle, record-setting oceanographer, National Geographic explorer-in-residence, 2009 TED Prize winner, Mission Blue founder, Time's first Hero of the Planet, and author of The World Is Blue&#147;Wild country produces wild people, who sometimes are just what's needed to keep that wild cycle going. This is a memorable portrait.&#8221;&#151;Bill McKibben, author of The End of Nature, winner of the 2013 Gandhi Peace Award, founder of 350.org&#147;Get ready to inhale steaming carcasses, gun smoke, and salty sea air. Harlan has a magic touch for storytelling. He rings out every sensory detail in this compelling sketch of a controversial, no-holds-barred life.&#8221;&#151;Jennifer S. Holland, National Geographic writer and New York Times bestselling author of Unlikely Friendships&#147;Open this book to the brine of salt marsh, the musk of turtles and sea breezes, and the astonishing story of Carol Ruckdeschel. From the first line I was captivated by this biography of a fierce and enigmatic passion for wildness, mesmerizing and beautiful. May we all learn something of love from it.&#8221;&#151;Janisse Ray, author of Ecology of a Cracker Childhood&#147;Untamed is not only a page-turner but also a show-stopper. Its engaging protagonist, Carol Ruckdeschel&#151;a combination of Jane Goodall and Annie Oakley&#151;is kaleidoscopic in her paradoxes: &#145;brutal and benevolent, savage and sympathetic, cutthroat and compassionate.&#8217; Harlan has written an environmental classic that belongs on the shelf alongside Carson, Leopold, Muir, and Thoreau. This crafty, adventurous biography reads like a good novel and leaves readers in tears. It&#8217;s a tale of an American hero told by an American hero, and the collaboration is luminous.&#8221;&#151;Thomas Rain Crowe, author of Zoro&#8217;s Field: My Life in the Appalachian Woods"This is going to be a winner. I loved it&#151;and was even choked up a time or two by Carol&#8217;s passion to save wild Cumberland. An &#145;undertow of awe&#8217; sweeps beneath the entire story. As Carol&#8217;s life reveals, the battles for wilderness are many and the victories are short-lived, but ultimately the fight comes down to one thing: pure, unwavering love."&#151;Brooke Williams, author of Halflives: Reconciling Work and Wildness&#147;Deliciously engrossing. . . . Readers are in for a wild ride.&#8221;&#151;Citizen-Times (Asheville)&#147;This is one gorgeous book, a testament not only to Will Harlan&#8217;s obvious writing chops but also what the best in journalism is all about, the passion to dig and go beyond the obvious. Harlan&#8217;s unflinching, inspirational biography of Carol Ruckdeschel . . . shows the reader her amazing character, spine and spunk . . . Untamed is a unique portrayal of a unique crusader . . . Very thought-provoking stuff, with beautiful writing and an eye-for-detail.&#8221;&#151;Society of Environmental Journalists

'Every Church has special gifts to bring to the world-wide picture of the Christian life, and Methodism is no exception. In this readable, informative, and well-researched book, Adrian Burdon brings alive the personalities and the structure of ministry that developed in early Methodism, and which have continued to develop down to the present time. There's nothing to beat looking at sources properly, and that includes what Methodists have to say about the nature of the 'connexion', and their ordination services. At a time when Christians are trying to understand each other better, in detail as well as in spirit, Adrian's book is a timely reminder of a rich part of the Christian inheritance.' Rt Revd Kenneth Stevenson, Bishop of Portsmouth  'Adrian Burdon's book makes an important contribution to the present conversations between the Church of England and Methodist Church. He demonstrates the debt owed by John Wesley to his Anglican roots in the shaping of a Methodist movement geared to mission but founded on an episcopalian polity. Wesley's claim for validity and regularity of his innovations, despite his breaking of the rules of his own Church, helps the argument for a flexibility in ministry which addresses questions of orders and church polity, while his exercise of a personal episcope gives scope to charismatic leadership for renewal in church life today.'  Tim Macquiban, Principal of Sarum College, Salisbury  'This is an informative read with relates as much to modern ecumenism as it does to the history of the Methodist movement.' Theological Book Review  'This book takes a clearly defined area of the life and work of the charismatic founder of the Methodist Church and explores it in a thorough, well-researched and readable way.  It will help Methodists and non-Methodists alike to understand why some aspects of modern Methodism, which has its own distinctive characteristics, are as they are.'

Husserl and Spatiality is a whirlwind expedition through central Husserlian concepts in relation to the central problem of what constitutes a space. As I read about DuFour’s childhood memories, and his descriptions from his rich ethnographic study of the spaces and practices of the Brazilian religion Candomblé, his writing seemed to linger and cling to the walls of my room, building tangible horizons and creating ripples of effect in my understanding also of my own surrounding environment. This book will inspire interpretations of the world that favour empathy over power, bodily engagement over subjective self-centeredness, and historical meaningfulness over relational flatness. It is a much-needed call to reinterpret spatial relationships in ways that allow the past to gently touch the future.

- Henriette Steiner, Associate Professor, Section for Landscape Architecture and Planning, University of Copenhagen
Part radical re-reading of Husserl, part phenomenology of Afro-Brazilian ritual, DuFour’s is an astoundingly original take on space as the constitutive ground of all lived experience. The ethnography of ritual here becomes the litmus test of the deepest stakes of human experience—both condition of possibility and the generative source of human relationships, replete with embodied history and affective significance. This is what DuFour calls environmentality—a tour de force of life-driven conceptual creativity.
