? Chefs, Cooks, Kitchen Rats everywhere, this is for you.? "Liked Kitchen Confidential? Read this!" "I'm a career Cook and have been a sous chef, and this book is an updated version like Anthony Bourdain's Kitchen Confidential! Whether you are a cook or not this book tells it like it is and is funny too! So, read it and enjoy it!" - Kindle Customer "Outspoken and Opinionated" "This book is how Kitchen Confidential would have read if Bourdain had spent his childhood in a trailer park, being fed squirrel brains for breakfast instead of spending his summer holidays in France, eating fresh oysters." -Amazon Reviewer I wrote this book for cooks.

Beyond the Killing Tree, A Journey of Discovery Revisited by Stephen Santiago Reynolds (9 Reviews)    Price verified 7 hours ago

In this digital edition, Beyond the Killing Tree has been revisited from the original hard cover publication. There are some new chapters and fine tuning of other chapters, though the context has not changed in spirit since it was first identified by the Anchorage Daily News as the best Alaska non-fiction book published in 1995. This is a memoir of adventure, personal change, and transformation -- a journey of discovery by Reynolds, who spent almost 30 years as a game warden in New Mexico and Alaska. There are elements of both humor and tragedy within, but does not dwell on either, as the author takes you by horseback, boat, and airplane into wilderness areas of both states. A "captivating tale of the past," says the Albuquerque Journal; "Gracefully written," says the Alaska Magazine; "When you read a page of Reynolds' prose, you'll swear that you were there," says the Tacoma News Tribune.
