North woods : a novel
\"When a pair of young lovers abscond from a Puritan colony, little do they know that their humble cabin in the woods will become the home of an extraordinary succession of human and nonhuman characters alike. An English soldier, destined for glory, abandons the battlefields of the New World to devote himself to apples. A pair of spinster twins navigate war and famine, envy and desire. A crime reporter unearths a mass grave--only to discover that the ancient trees refuse to give up their secrets. A lovelorn painter, a sinister conman, a stalking panther, a lusty beetle: As each inhabitant confronts the wonder and mystery around them, they begin to realize that the dark, raucous, beautiful past is very much alive\"-- Provided by publisher.

Seven Summers
Seven Summers is the story of a naturalist-turned-professor who flees city life each summer with her pets and power tools to pursue her lifelong dream—building a cabin in the Wyoming woods. With little money and even less experience, she learns that creating a sanctuary on her mountain meadow requires ample doses of faith, patience, and luck. This mighty task also involves a gradual and sometimes painful acquisition of flexibility and humility in the midst of great determination and naive enthusiasm.
For Corbett, homesteading is not about wresting a living from the land, but respecting and immersing herself in it—observing owls and cranes, witnessing seasons and cycles, and learning the rhythms of wind and weather in her woods and meadow. The process changes her in unexpected ways, just as it did for women homesteaders more than a century ago. The more she works with wood, the more she understands the importance of “going with the grain” in wood as well as in life. She must learn to let go, to move through loss and grief, to trust her voice, and to balance independence and dependence. Corbett also gains a better understanding of her fellow Wyomingites, a mix of ranchers, builders, gas workers, and developers, who share a love of place but often hold decidedly different values. This beautifully written memoir will appeal to readers who appreciate stories of the western landscape, independent women, or the appreciation of the natural world.

Answers to Some Questions Concerning Rings with Property (A)
A ring R has right property (A) whenever a finitely generated two-sided ideal of R consisting entirely of left zero-divisors has a non-zero right annihilator. As the main result of this paper we give answers to two questions related to property (A), raised by Hong et al. One of the questions has a positive answer and we obtain it as a simple conclusion of the fact that if R is a right duo ring and M is a u.p.-monoid (unique product monoid), then R is right M-McCoy and the monoid ring R[M] has right property (A). The second question has a negative answer and we demonstrate this by constructing a suitable example.

Consumers' sensory assessments of bigleaf maple (Acer macrophyllum) syrup give way to a promising artisan industry
Background Most pure maple syrup produced in North America is produced from the sap of sugar maple trees (Acer saccharum). Interest is growing to utilize other maple species in different regions of North America outside the native range of sugar maple. This research assesses a maple syrup produced in one of these regions, bigleaf maple (Acer macrophyllum) from the Pacific Northwest. Two blind‐coded consumer‐sensory evaluations, which took place in May 2022 and 2023, were conducted with 411 participants to assess overall sensory hedonics and descriptors, quality ratings, purchase intent, and perceptions of the syrup category with 13 unique samples of bigleaf maple, sugar maple (A. saccharum), and imitation maple syrup. Results Two bigleaf maple syrups were rated highest in overall liking. Of the syrups tested, several of the bigleaf maple syrups were rated as having the most complex flavor profile. When consumers were segmented on overall liking, flavor complexity intensity was positively correlated (p < 0.05) with perceived quality, purchase intent, and overall liking for the larger cluster of consumers (n = 154), though there seems to be an optimum level over which the syrup can then be penalized for being too complex. A correspondence analysis (CA) showed the syrups that were most well‐liked exhibited qualities “maple,” “sweet,” “caramel,” “nutty,” “honey,” “vanilla,” and “fragrant.” Conclusion This research demonstrates that quality bigleaf maple syrup is a well‐liked product of interest and has high potential for commercial success.

Three women take charge at log cabin
Cynthia Crabb, Betsey Barham and Kelly Sublett took over officially last week as the Log Cabin Democrat, Conway's daily newspaper, dispensed with having a publisher. (When your Outtakes correspondent was writing there in the 1980s, Frank Robins III held the title, following the footsteps of his father, grandfather, great-grandmother and great-grandfather.) Morris Communications, which bought the paper in 1995, named no replacement after Publisher Jeffrey Hartley departed the Log Cabin in August, and one prospect, Harry Porter, publisher of the Dally Citizen in Searcy, reportedly backed off the Conway job as talk swirled that Morris was planning to sell the paper to Gatehouse Media.
