They gave me strength." -- Gudrun Pflüger, in USA Today In 2005, elite marathon mountain runner and cross-country skier Gudrun Pflüger spent five weeks tracking and studying elusive coastal wolves by foot, kayak and sailboat along the rugged Pacific Coast of western Canada. Her daring and adventurous work as a field biologist eventually formed the basis for the Smithsonian Channel documentary A Woman Among Wolves. In the period between the completion of her research and the premier of this first documentary film, Pflüger was diagnosed with an aggressive brain cancer and told she had eighteen months to live. Eventually surgeons removed a tumour the size of a golf ball, and Pflüger underwent protracted chemotherapy and additional, non-conventional therapies in order to combat what some expected was an inevitable and all too common fate. During her prolonged and arduous recovery, she took the wolf - a true "endurance athlete" - as a model and re-immersed herself in what she hoped would be the restorative mountain environments of the British Columbia and Alberta backcountry in order to focus her traumatized mind and body on a path toward self-healing. Her difficult and reflective return to studying wolves in Canada led to another Smithsonian Channel documentary, Running With Wolves. It also included an event that defied the odds and astounded her doctors: after gruelling rounds of cancer treatment Gudrun became a mother, giving birth to a son, Conrad, in 2009. Through an intensely personal and emotional, yet rigorously scientific connection with the wolves she studies and the glorious landscape that surrounded her during this remarkable journey, Gudrun Pflüger tells an absorbing story of the transformative and healing power of nature, motherhood and one woman's goal to save the wolves she admires and bring her own threatened body and mind back to health.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Faolan, a wolf once doomed to die, struggles to fulfill his destiny as the leader of the wolves of Beyond. No one ever saw Faolan as a leader. Banished as a pup, he survived and returned as a gnaw wolf--the lowest member of the wolf pack. But Faolan wasn't meant to be a gnaw wolf. It's not just his strange, splayed paw, or his uncanny connection with the bears. There's something about Faolan that inspires certain wolves . . . and leaves others deeply suspicious. Now, with a dangerous threat on the horizon, the pack must make a choice. Will they trust the silver outsider with the task of leading? If Faolan can't fulfill his destiny, it could be the end of the wolves of the Beyond.

Book excerpt: Much has changed for the Chanku. For so long they kept their shapeshifting ability secret, but now they have assimilated into the human world in ways they never once thought possible. As the daughter of Anton Cheval (the universally acknowledged leader of the Chanku Nation) and CEO of Cheval International, Lily Cheval chooses to live alone in San Francisco, headquarters of the pack's business interests. A series of murders near both the pack compound in Montana and the San Francisco Bay Area leave her wary and worried for her fellow Chanku. The bodies of human women are turning up-women raped by men, but killed by wolves. Aldo Xenakis, a charismatic cult leader, is blaming the Chanku, inciting fear among residents throughout the west. When Lily meets his son, Sebastian, their connection is intense and immediate, yet tempered by the darkness she senses in him-he is a powerful wizard who uses magic to shift into wolf form, but is he the killer? Driven by passion, Sebastian and Lily come together in sensual ecstasy, a joining that leaves Lily shaken but utterly alive. Could Sebastian be the man she's been waiting for, or is he her worst enemy? This book contains adult content.

Book excerpt: Over more than twenty years as a mediator, Aaron T. Wolf has learned that successful conflict resolution is shaped by complicated dynamics--from how comfortable the meeting room is to the participants' deepest senses of self. Bridging seemingly intractable issues means addressing multiple layers of needs. Wolf's approach may be surprising to Westerners who are accustomed to separating rationality from spirituality and science from religion. The Spirit of Dialogue draws lessons from a diversity of faith traditions to transform conflict, from identifying the root cause of anger to aligning with an energy beyond oneself--what Christians call grace--to the true listening practiced by Buddhist monks. Whether atheist or fundamentalist, Muslim or Jewish, Quaker or Hindu, any reader involved in difficult dialogue will find concrete steps towards a meeting of souls.
