    Workbook for a Career in Wildlife Management and Natural Resource Conservation

    This concise history traces how the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources shifted from hunter-focused game management to an ecological, biodiversity-based approach with the creation of the Nongame Wildlife Program in 1977. A national model, the program supports surveying and restoring species from butterflies and bats to bald eagles, peregrine falcons, and trumpeter swans. Written for Minnesotans who donate via the Nongame Wildlife Checkoff—and all who use DNR guidance—it shows how citizen generosity has protected wildlife and habitats.

    I plan to begin using it in my college wildlife classroom

  • Zero God

    Zero God

    A secretive Washington, DC foundation led by a charismatic charlatan pursues an apocalyptic future rooted in extremist religion. To accelerate its agenda, it plants a “Manchurian candidate” in politics—unaware of his dark past tied to Abu Ghraib’s rape culture. An emotionally wounded small-town lawyer becomes the last barrier to national catastrophe.

    Birk’s passion pushes the boundaries of the thriller-suspense genre to produce a powerful, uniquely styled novel.
