A naturalist sets off across space and time to find the legendary Dawn Bird.
A game warden in the far future must crack a criminal ring that is poaching the rarest animals in the galaxy.
An archaeologist uncovers a Neanderthal burial and finds it contains something most unexpected.
A man 'looks' into alternate histories and witnesses life unfolding in different ways.
A scholar in a world of dragons and magic determines to map it using a new thing called 'science.'
These and other stories document the author's attempts at forging 'Green SF,' speculative fiction that focuses on the natural world. Science fiction and fantasy already have plenty of exotic alien civilizations, high-tech futures and epic quests; here the often neglected background scenery--plants, animals, landscapes, rocks, weather and even entire stars and planets--all get their chance at center stage, reminding us of the marvelous reality that we live in.
