Alaska Hunting: Earthworms to Elephants, a collection of 39 stories, is intended to be seasoning for a Hunters' pie, rural Alaska style.Most hunters extol the charismatic mega fauna, but pursuit of lesser game often takes center stage. Occasionally hunting discoveries lead to other endeavors, from jade mining to gold prospecting and fossil recovery. Possibilities are limitless. As we engage in hunting and fishing pursuits memories are laced with the big ones-the exceptional, genetically endowed giants-but some of the brightest memories are of average representatives of their species. What made them so memorable was the combination of circumstances under which they were taken-or lost. Companions, whether human or animal, often make the hunt memorable and its recollections of trophy quality.

Chronicles of a Bering Sea Captain offers a vivid, detailed glimpse of some of most dangerous fisheries in the world. From frightening to funny, these stories convey the realities of the life of a fisherman struggling to make a living in the Bering Sea. This cold corner of the planet has claimed the lives of countless men and women, brave souls who risked everything to chase a dream, pursue adventure, and earn an honest buck. Most aim to make as much money as they can in as short a time as possible-then get out. But for author Jake Jacobsen, the fisherman's life was in his blood. He sailed on his father's old wooden trawler at seven-and found his first full-time fishing job as a fourteen-year-old deckhand on his father's boat. Chronicles of a Bering Sea Captain recounts half a century of life on the high seas. These are one man's stories of crab fishing, trawling, and long-lining in rough, unpredictable waters. But more importantly, these tales offer a glimpse into the lives of the untold thousands whose harrowing tales and countless acts of courage and strength will never be heard.
"My life has been given special purpose," Jake Pickle says. "Some men live to make money, drink, chase women, collect art, excel at a sport, or pursue other things that give them pleasure. The thing I got hooked on was helping people. And I've had the privilege of helping people by the thousands. Serving in Congress was the greatest honor of my life." In this book, Jake Pickle tells the story of a lifetime in public service, including thirty-one years as Representative for Texas' Tenth Congressional District. Jake tells his story by telling stories-most of them humorous, some poignant-that add up to a warmly personal account of his life and career. At the heart of the book are Jake's stories of political life in Washington, Austin, and on the campaign trail. These range from hilarious accounts of all that can and does happen at small-town Texas parades and rallies to clear, no-baloney explanations of some of the major legislation that Jake helped to pass. His stories about Social Security reform, tax-exempt organizations, and pension fund reform legislation make these complex topics easy to understand. This book was written as a collaboration between Jake and his daughter, Peggy Pickle. It offers the fun of listening to a born raconteur spin his tales, while it reveals the ethics and integrity of a man who never forgot that the people elected him to serve them.
