A hard as nails cop reluctantly teams up with a wise-cracking criminal temporarily paroled to him, in order to track down an escaped convict cop killer. The mismatched buddy buddy formula exploded onto the screen here in a ball of violence, profanity and pin sharp one liners. It also launched Eddie Murphy into 1980s stardom. Directed by Walter Hill and starring Nick Nolte alongside Murphy as part of an electrifying black and white double act, it’s unrelenting in pace and bad attitude. It could have been so different though, with the likes of Stallone, Reynolds, Pryor and Hines attached at various times for lead parts, it now is written in folklore that Murphy got the break and grasped it with both hands (he was actually fired at one point mind!). Thankfully the problems behind the scenes were resolved to give us a classic of its type. A big success for Paramount it paved the way for more choice same formula pictures in the decade, but few were able to be so course and daring with the racial divide explosions.

International Owl Awareness Day 2017

Owls are appreciated every day here at UWM Special Collections, and to celebrate this designated day of Strigiformes awareness we are showing off Wisconsin owls.

Birds of Prey of Wisconsin was written by Frances Hamerstrom and illustrated by her daughter Elva Paulson. Frances and her husband Frederick came to Wisconsin to work with prairie chickens in 1935. In 1940, Frances was the only woman to earn a graduate degree, studying with Aldo Leopold, at the University of Wisconsin–Madison. Both of the Hamerstroms were inducted in to the Wisconsin Conservation Hall of Fame in 1996.

Frances says that to attract owls: “Listen, especially at dusk or daybreak, and if you can imitate calls well . . . you may attract owls you would not otherwise have seen.”

In comparing hawks and owls she says: “Hawks and owls both have sharp talons and strong hooked beaks but they differ in their hunting tactics – one could almost say they differ in their approach to life. Hawks often miss their quarry; owls seldom miss. They are more apt to wait and wait until they are sure of making a kill.”

Birds of Prey of Wisconsin was first printed in softcover by the Department of Natural Resources Madison, in 1972. Our copy is a special edition that was published by the Wisconsin Society for Ornithology the same year and is signed by Frances Hamerstrom. The book was designed and edited by Ruth L. Hine who, in 1949, was the first woman awarded a PhD in zoology by the University of Wisconsin - Madison. In 2010 Hine was also inducted in to the Wisconsin Conservation Hall of Fame.
