Robert Redford Knihy

Autor, nechává nahlédnout do života vlčích smeček a prožít příběhy jednotlivých vlčích jedinců. Tedy především jednoho z nich - vlka 8, který se dokázal z nejmenšího, šikanovaného mláděte vypracovat v největšího vlka, který kdy žil. Autor strávil studiem a sledováním vlků v amerických národních parcích více než čtyřicet let. Tyto šelmy se mu podařilo zahlédnout na stotisíckrát a deník, v němž si vede záznamy z pozorování, čítá dvanáct tisíc stránek. Jeho práce přinesla zatím nejdetailnější obraz o tom, jak vlci žijí, jak se chovají a jak pravděpodobně přemýšlejí.

Owners and non-horse owners alike have also discovered the amazing abilities of horses to help us heal and recover from disabling physical and mental conditions. Men and women afflicted with severe emotional damage are healing and making dramatic recoveries by receiving the simple love, understanding and acceptance that comes from establishing a relationship with a horse. The unique message of Riding Home is two-fold. It is the first and only book to explain why horses have this remarkable ability to heal and positively transform emotionally wounded men and women, whether they be troubled teens, prison inmates, or war veterans with post traumatic stress disorder.

They teach us that when we're not getting what we want, we're the ones who need to change.

Rozprávanie o štyroch obrancoch kaňonov amerického severozápadu bolo inšpirované vznikom sabotovania ako spôsobu boja niektorých ochranárov. Hoci sabotážne praktiky neboli nikdy ekofilozofmi oficiálne schválené, stali sa bežnými u takých ochranárskych skupín ako Earth First!. Sám Abbey obhajuje tieto akcie namierené proti „rozvoju spoločnosti“ a považuje ich v niektorých prípadoch za ospravedlniteľné hlavne z morálneho hľadiska.
