Wildhttps://kristaschlyer.files.wordpress.com/2015/03/almost-anywhere-rev-e1437522597496.jpgAlmost Anywhere: Road Trip Ruminations on Love, Nature, National Parks, and NonsenseAt twenty-eight years old, Krista Schlyer sold almost everything she owned and packed the rest of it in a station wagon bound for the American wild. Her two best friends joined her—one a grumpy, grieving introvert, the other a feisty dog—and together they sought out every national park, historic site, forest, and wilderness they could get to before their money ran out or their minds gave in. The journey began as a desperate escape from urban isolation, heartbreak, and despair, but became an adventure beyond imagining. Chronicling their colorful escapade, Almost Anywhere explores the courage, cowardice, and heroics that live in all of us, as well as the life of nature and the nature of life. This eloquent and accessible memoir is at once an immersion in the pain of losing someone particularly close and especially young and a healing journey of a broken life given over to the whimsy and humor of living on the road. Almost Anywhere will appeal to outdoor lovers, armchair travelers, and anyone struggling to find a way forward in life.https://kristaschlyer.files.wordpress.com/2015/03/schlyer_fc_f12_medres.jpgContinental Divide: Wildlife, People and the Border Wall by Krista SchlyerThe topic of the border wall between the United States and Mexico continues to be broadly and hotly debated: on national news media, by local and state governments, and even in coffee shops and over the dinner table. By now, broad segments of the population have heard widely varying opinions about the wall’s effect on illegal immigration, international politics, and the drug war. But what about the wall’s effect on the Sonoran pronghorn antelope herds and the kit fox? On the Mexican gray wolf, the ocelot, the jaguar, and the bighorn sheep? In unforgettable images and evocative text, Continental Divide: Wildlife, People, and the Border Wall helps readers understand all that is at stake. As Krista Schlyer explains, the remoteness of this region from most US citizens’ lives, coupled with the news media’s focus on illegal immigration and drug violence, has left many with an incomplete picture. As she reminds us, this largely isolated natural area, stretching from the Pacific Ocean to the Gulf of Mexico, hosts a number of rare ecosystems: Arizona’s last free-flowing river, the San Pedro; the grasslands of New Mexico, some of the last undeveloped prairies on the continent; the single most diverse birding area in the US, located along the lower Rio Grande River in Texas; and habitat and migration corridors for some of both nations’ most imperiled species.?In documenting the changes to the ecosystems and human communities along the border while the wall was being built, Schlyer realized that the impacts of immigration policy on wildlife, on landowners, and on border towns were not fully understood by either policy makers or the general public. The wall not only has disrupted the ancestral routes of wildlife; it has also rerouted human traffic through the most pristine and sensitive of wildlands, causing additional destruction, conflict, and death—without solving the original problem.2020-10-19T19:49:31+00:00weekly0.6https://kristaschlyer.com/2020/10/08/into-the-abyss-and-other-fun-things/https://kristaschlyer.files.wordpress.com/2020/10/ckrista_schlyer_-7307970.jpg(c)Krista_Schlyer_-73079702020-10-19T19:44:34+00:00monthlyhttps://kristaschlyer.com/2020/09/27/the-wealth-of-time/https://kristaschlyer.files.wordpress.com/2020/09/ckrista_schlyer_-7307706.jpg(c)krista_schlyer_-73077062020-10-19T19:42:14+00:00monthlyhttps://kristaschlyer.com/2020/09/18/the-bluejackets-manual/2020-09-19T15:53:54+00:00monthlyhttps://kristaschlyer.com/2020/08/27/a-chesapeake-summer/2020-08-28T23:20:38+00:00monthlyhttps://kristaschlyer.com/2020/08/05/confronting-the-inner-squirrel-with-farm-girl-grit/https://kristaschlyer.files.wordpress.com/2020/08/storm-clouds-in-cape-may_2153-1.jpgstorm
