Overview

ENDANGERED? At Last - a book with the unvarnished truth about endangered and threatened species past, present (possibly later this afternoon), and near future. At Last - a book that exposes the shameful exploitation of innocent plush versions of symbolically adopted endangered animals. At Last - a book that dares identify the most endangered mollusk - the $1 oyster, freshly serves in a nice restaurant. And Finally - a book that culinary experts favorable compare to Buck's classic, The Original Roadkill Cookbook! Master Guide to All that is Wild, the author has left no stone unturned to reveal the intrinsic value (or, at least, the food value) of species not quite so much at large - wisdom previously buried in arcane reference works and barely accessible scientific journals (or silk-screened on a black velvet sweatshirt). His book is destined to become a classic in its field.

Author Information

"Buck Peterson is universally hailed as a gourmet chef and all-round sportsman of almost mythical proportions in the square mile of woods surrounding his hunting and fishing lodge in northernmost Minnesota. J. Angus ""Sourdough"" McLean, illustrator, was Buck's wingman and sporting art risk taker. From a family rich in Oregon big woods logging, his illustrations were exact, appropriate, and brimming with good humor. A fine fisherman and woodsman, Sourdough got the drift and nailed every book subject with extraordinary skill. No illustrations were wasted. When he and Buck first met up, he was drawing nature images for a large t-shirt company in the Pacific Northwest and in his spare time, drew pro bono for the local logging festivals and schools. Like few others, John communicated the joy of being alive, a moving, essential part of nature.He was flattered when Leanin' Tree(R) chose an image for greeting cards and a large specialty apparel company chose the same one for clothing with international distribution. In all his oil paintings, now in private collections, J.Angus ""Sourdough"" McLean elevates a comic sensibility about the natural world that resonates especially well for the young at heart. The paintings put the comic and realistic vision on equal footing in sporting art with the skill of those famous for traditional views of wildlife. Another great example is his take on fishing bears featured on the cover of Buck's Wildlife of the New Millennium. Look for his handiwork in the early cartoon mascot for the Oregon Ducks. He even poses as a Scottish bagpiper in The International Roadkill Cookbook and shows a pesky squirrel who's boss in Buck's Peterson's Complete Guide to Deer Hunting."
