 | Super Volcano: The Ticking Time Bomb Beneath Yellowstone National Park Super Volcano, my newest book, tells the story of the biggest, baddest active volcano on the planet. It sits directly beneath our most famous national park, primed to blow much of Wyoming to smithereens, cover half the United States in volcanic ash, alter the Earth's climate, destroy much of the world's cereal crops, and cause casualties running to — well, scientists are still trying to figure it out. What could be more exciting? Excerpt | ||
 | Wild Shore: Exploring Lake Superior by Kayak Long fascinated by Lake Superior, I set out on a series of trips around its 1,000-mile shore. I visited the cryptic pictographs at Agawa Rock, the mysterious man-made pits on the remote Canadian shore, and the lake's last large herd of woodland caribou. In the end, I learn more, not only about the lake, but also myself. Wild Shore, according to the Minneapolis Star Tribune, brings Lake Superior "to brooding life in memorable fashion.... Breining succeeds in describing both the dangers and the beauty of the huge lake in blunt, forceful, often elegant prose." Excerpt | ||
 | Paddling Minnesota Want to paddle a gentle stream? A tough stretch of white-water? A good river for catching smallmouth bass? In Paddling Minnesota, I call upon more than 25 years of running rivers in my home state to help you pick the right route. Paddling Minnesota describes 125 river and lake trips for canoe and kayak. Each trip description includes maps, ratings of rapids, and directions for car shuttles. Royalties support Minnesota Conservation Volunteer, magazine of the state Department of Natural Resources.

 | Minnesota Explore Minnesota with the guidebook that isn't simply a guidebook. Travel writer Jan Morris called the Compass American Guide series "the most literate and elegant series of guides ever written about North America." Minnesota is no exception, guiding readers to the state's culture, literature and history, as well as its museums and highways. Excerpt | ||
 | Return of the Eagle: How America Saved Its National Symbol Carried aloft on wings spanning seven feet, the bald eagle is monarch of America's skies. This majestic bird once faced extinction in the Lower 48, but Americans rallied to rescue their national symbol. The text and Frank Oberle's photography bring the story of the majestic bird to life.

 | Fishing Minnesota Fishing is more than catching fish. It is travel, adventure, friendships and discovery. I tag along with nearly a dozen expert anglers and report what they have spent years learning. I fish for Lake Superior steelhead with Shawn Perich, small creek smallmouth bass with Tim Holschlag, stream trout with Jay Bunke, and north-country muskies with Mark Windels.
