<p>In the Spring of 1986, Jim Carrier, the Denver Post's "Rocky Mountain Ranger, traveled to Yellowstone National Park to begin a series of seventy dispatches about the park’s human and natural history. He admits he knew almost nothing about Yellowstone. Seven months later, after countless interviews, miles hiked, driven and paddled, time often shared with his daughter, Amy, he came home transformed. More than a "reporter's notebook" Carrier's letters reveal the impact the region had on him over the course of Yellowstone's four seasons. Whether hiking through grizzly country at night in search of medical help for a gravely ill colleague, or challenging the Grand Teton, Carrier's adventures will convince you that he was hardly a dispassionate correspondent. His letters demonstrate that the value of places such as Yellowstone may lie in the ways they transform all of us into more conscientious defender of the wild.</p>

<p>In October of 1985, a young humpback whale, who came to be known as Humphrey, left the Pacific Ocean to swim up the Sacramento River - and into the hearts of people the world over. Whatever his motivation to explore a world other than his own - some say he was lost and confused; others believe he was simply curious and wanted a change - his story consumed the lives of biologists, reporters, and children until he was safely escorted back to sea.</p>
