Clodius Super to his Cerialis greetings I ask that you send the things which I need for the use of my boyswhich you well know I cannot properly get hold of here So writes a Roman soldier stationed on the wild northern frontier of England around AD 100 In 1973 the first discoveries were made of the now famous wooden tablets 300 letters and documents that had survived 2000 years at the fort of Vindolanda Painstakingly deciphered by Alan Bowman and David Thomas they have contributed a wealth of evidence for daily life in the Roman Empire From the military documents we learn of the strength and activities of the units stationed at Vindolanda The accounts testify to the lifestyle of officers and ordinary soldiers with payments for pepper and oil towels and tallow boots and beer Then there are snapshots of domestic life in letters between the officers wives including a birthday invitation Most fascinating of all is the evidence for a high degree of literacy in the Roman army when even a common soldier receives a letter from home promising him a parcel of socks In this revised expanded and updated edition Alan Bowmans lively summary of this evidence is followed by the text of 50 key tablets in Latin and in translation bringing the reader very close to the actual people who inhabited Vindolanda in AD 100

to do with the calling of loons with northern lights and the great silences of land lying northwest of Lake Superior It is concerned with the simple joys the timelessness and perspective found in a way of life which is close to the past I have heard the singing in many places but I seem to hear it best in the wilderness lake country of the QueticoSuperior where travel is still by pack and canoe over the ancient trails of the Indians and voyageurs Thus the author sets the theme and tone of this enthralling book of discovery about one of the few great primitive areas in our country which have withstood the pressures of civilizationAcute natural perceptivity and a profound knowledge of the relationships to be found in nature combine here in vivid evocations of the sights the sounds the vast stillnesses and the events of the wilderness as the seasons succeed each other But Mr Olson is not content merely to describe he probes for meanings that will lead the reader to a different and more revealing way of looking at the outofdoors and to a deeper sense of its eternal values In each of the thirtyfour chapters of The Singing Wilderness he has sought to capture an essential quality of our magnificent lake and forest heritage He shows us what can be read from the rocks of the great Canadian Shield he offers a delightful essay on the virtues of pine knots as fuel he writes of the ways of a canoe of flashing trout in the pools of the Isabella of tamarack bogs caribou moss the flight of wild geese timber wolves and the birds of the ski trails And much more with something to satisfy every taste for wilderness experienceSuperbly illustrated with 38 blackandwhite drawings by Francis Lee Jaques The Singing Wilderness is a book that no lover of nature will want to be without To anyone who contemplates a vacation in the lake country of northern Minnesota and adjoining Canada it is the perfect vade mecum

Preeeeep The sound of the peepers tiny frogs an inch or two long penetrated the dusk Beneath the jack pines at the edge of a small pond in the northern Michigan woods the males were calling their mates A professor and a group of ecology students sat speechless as closer and closer louder and louder more and more peepers joined in chorus There was just light enough to see them crawling up a bracken fern to find a singing perch filling their throats with air like tiny balloons about to burst and then giving forth at close range an earsplitting preeeeep Now we were immersed in the peepers lives not ours And when the concert ended and the peepers had gone away we laughed together for the sheer joy and power of life displayed for a moment in the grand efforts of one tiny creature to be fruitful and multiply Combining compelling stories with both biblical and scientific investigation Redeeming Creation addresses the ecological crisis we face today population explosionrain forests stripped baredestruction of animal habitatthe death of entire speciesdepletion of the ozone layerglobal warming The authors four biologists and teachers believe that we can face these dilemmas with hope Moving beyond a mere survey of the planets ills they bring Scripture into fruitful dialogue with current scientific findings and commitments They both inspire and inform our individual and corporate response to Gods creation
