Exploring the ecology, culture, and challenge of America’s most controversial wild hogs.

What happens when a conservation-minded forester decides to spend an entire year hunting feral hogs across ten states? You get a book that’s equal parts adventure, ecology, and laugh-out-loud grit. In Year of the Pig, Mark J. Hainds straps on rifles, bows, and even a knife (yes, really) to tackle one of North America’s most destructive invasive species. Along the way, he delivers unforgettable stories from Alabama swamps to Hawaiian volcanoes, mixing adrenaline with insight into why pigs are an ecological nightmare and a hunter’s dream.

In it real-world and armchair hunters will find: 
• Authentic Adventures: Belly-crawling through privet thickets, stalking pigs in palmetto jungles, and chasing razorbacks in the Ozarks. 
• Ecological Wisdom: Learn how hogs impact forests, farms, and fragile ecosystems—and why hunting them matters. 
• Humor & Humanity: From near-misses to triumphs, Hainds’ candid storytelling will keep you grinning (and maybe craving barbecue).

Hunters seeking real-world thrills, conservationists fighting invasive species, outdoor enthusiasts who savor gritty tales, and anyone who enjoys a good laugh with their environmental education. Perfect for reading—or gifting to that friend who thinks “hog hunting” is just a Southern stereotype. Spoiler: It’s not.

Not only was John Wooden a great basketball coach, he was a master teacher. In fact, he was a great coach because he was a master teacher. What Wooden has learned from others in the classroom and perfected on the practice court are fundamental principles of effective teaching, which are conveyed in You Haven’t Taught Until They Have Learned: John Wooden’s Teaching Principles and Practices. Co-author Swen Nater, one of Wooden’s former players at UCLA, provides insightful first-hand accounts on the many life lessons he learned from Wooden that he has applied to his life since becoming a teacher himself. Wooden’s principles conveyed by Nater and co-author Ronald Gallimore in this book can be studied and applied by teachers, coaches, parents, and anyone else who is responsible for, works with, or supervises others.

In this revised version of the book, the authors include an afterword, in which specific examples and anecdotes are provided of how You Haven’t Taught Until They Have Learned has impacted people in the teaching, coaching, and business industries.
