"Cascade Head, on the Oregon Coast between Lincoln City and Neskowin, offers stunning ocean views, good hiking, and habitat for a variety of species, including some that are endangered. In The View from Cascade Head, Bruce Byers is primarily interested in Cascade Head as Oregon's only UNESCO biosphere reserve. Part of a UN program, biospheres are laboratories for understanding the human-nature relationship, and teaching models for a sustainable and resilient relationship between humans and the earth. Byers argues that the biosphere concept and the international network of biosphere reserves that eventually grew from it are two important milestones in the history of ecology and nature conservation"--

"A Generous Nature: Lives Transformed by Oregon offers profiles of twenty-one conservationists and activists who have made enduring contributions to the preservation of Oregon's wild and natural places and its high quality of life. These stories speak to their courage, foresight, and actions-at times against great odds-to save places, enact legislation, and motivate others to cherish and protect the places that make Oregon unique. Taken from personal interviews conducted by the author over a decade, these stories will help readers understand the histories of Oregon's exceptional places, innovative planning efforts, and laws. They provide insight into the principles and values that motivated individuals to preserve the beauty and natural resources of Oregon, craft legislation to further protect them, and educate others about their value. Places as diverse as the Columbia River Gorge Natural Scenic Area, the wild and scenic Sandy River, and Tryon Creek State Park are featured, along with background on critical laws such as the Beach Bill, Diack Act, and Senate Bill 100, and organizations such as SOLVE and the High Desert Partnership. A Generous Nature is a testament to the vision and hard work of people who loved Oregon and fought to protect its ecosystems and habitats for the benefit of all. These stories do more than educate. They will inspire readers and demonstrate that individually we can make a difference. They underscore that the natural wonders of our state should be guarded and not taken for granted. In these times of unsettled political polarization and divisiveness, A Generous Nature is a crucial reminder of our individual and collective responsibility to stand for and defend the places, ideals, and laws that make Oregon a progressive model for the rest of the nation"--

"Elizabeth McLagan's A Peculiar Paradise: a History of Blacks in Oregon, 1788-1940 remains the most comprehensive chronology of Black life in Oregon more than forty years after its original publication. The book has long been a resource for those seeking information on the legal and social barriers faced by people of African descent in Oregon. McLagan's work reveals how, in spite of those barriers, Black individuals and families made Oregon their home, and helped create the state's modern Black communities. Long out of print, the book is available again in cooperation with Oregon Black Pioneers, Oregon's statewide African American historical society. The revised second edition includes additional details for students and scholars, new annotations to the text, an expanded reading list, updated artwork, and a new foreword"--
