Circling the Wolf's Head is a series of eight loosely connected essays about the Lake Superior region that trace a clockwise route around the lake, beginning and ending in Duluth, Minnesota. While the essays circle the lake, the book is not intended to be a compendium of information about it, a comprehensive natural or cultural history of the lake and its environs, or even a travel guide to the area. Rather, it is simply the author's attempt to capture in words his personal experiences while traveling in the region over the course of several years beginning in the late 1990s. By skillfully blending accounts of his contemporary travels with historical anecdotes and descriptions of the landscape's primal power, Eaton evokes the spirit of this remarkable region.

The Lightning Field is a series of portraits of people and out-of-the-way places in New Mexico and, occasionally, neighboring states. Eaton ranges throughout the region, and few of his destinations are on the standard tourist itinerary--this is not the New Mexico of Albuquerque, Santa Fe, or Taos. We spend a day at a huge work of minimalist land art near Quemado, a weekend at an isolated Benedictine monastery near Abiquiu, and a winter in the haunting and disconcerting isolation of Chaco Canyon. The author skillfully weaves accounts of his contemporary travels and experiences with historical anecdotes and vivid descriptions of the landscape to evoke the spirit of the Land of Enchantment, from the stark beauty of the high plains of northeastern New Mexico to the remote border region of the Boot Heel in the southwestern corner of the state. The Lightning Field was originally published in 1995 by Johnson Books of Boulder, Colorado. This revised edition includes the author's minor corrections and edits to the original text. "In these arresting vignettes, Eaton transverses New Mexico to plumb the depths of its magical beauty and explore the state's silent places. The radiance of Eaton's prose rests in its masterful restraint, whether he is lyrically conveying a sense of place or rendering respectful portraits of the individuals he meets. . . . Every adventure is an enthralling gift to readers." Alice Joyce, Booklist "There is a temptation to just call this a travel book, but it is more than that. This is compelling reading, and I highly recommend it." THM, Books of the Southwest "[His] deep identity with the land has helped Robert Eaton write a literate and fascinating work about New Mexico. For me, he is one of its finest contemporary interpreters. " John Nizalowski, Telluride Times-Journal

How teachers can help combat higher education's mental health crisis. Mental health challenges on college campuses were a huge problem before COVID-19, and now they are even more pronounced. But while much has been written about higher education's mental health crisis, very little research focuses on the role played by those on campus whose influence on student well-being may well be greatest: teachers. Drawing from interviews with students and the scholarship of teaching and learning, this book helps correct the oversight, examining how faculty can--instead of adding to their own significant workloads or duplicating counselors' efforts--combat student stress through adjustments to the work they already do as teachers. Improving Learning and Mental Health in the College Classroom provides practical tips that reduce unnecessary discouragement. It demonstrates how small improvements in teaching can have great impacts in the lives of students with mental health challenges, while simultaneously boosting learning for all students.
