Several years ago, ecologist Lauren E. Oakes set out from California for Alaska's old-growth forests to hunt for a dying tree: the yellow-cedar. With climate change as the culprit, the death of this species meant loss for many Alaskans. Oakes and her research team wanted to chronicle how plants and people could cope with their rapidly changing world. Amidst the standing dead, she discovered the resiliency of forgotten forests, flourishing again in the wake of destruction, and a diverse community of people who persevered to create new relationships with the emerging environment.

This is more than an account of the restoration of a 1935 Ford truck. It is about the life of the man who restored it, working most often beneath the shelter of mere tree branches. It is the telling of the searching, finding and the making of various parts for the truck over the years, as well as the lessons learned along the way. It is the telling of how new life was breathed into the old 35, as well as how eternal life was breathed into the man, Charlie Patrick Hull Jr., by God Almighty.

The field of bioinformatics was born out of the need to manage, analyze, and examine raw genomic data in meaningful and exciting ways, such as the discipline of computational phylogenetics would provide. The evolutionary inferences reached among the several peer-reviewed articles contained in this book are neither novel nor breakthrough.

This book tells the tale of the fabled schooner, Rouse Simmons, the most famous Christmas story to emerge from the Great Lakes.
