Essays by Edward Hoagland |
|
| Edward Hoagland is not only one
of the best writers of our time; he is also one of the keenest observers
of nature and one of the most celebrated essayists. His subjects range
from the natural history of owls to the delicious mystery of wolves ("Howling
Back at the Wolves"), the demise of the red wolf ("Lament the Red Wolves"),
our relationship with dogs ("Dogs, and the Tug of Life"), the nature of
a bear-stalker ("Bears, Bears, Bears"), and the intricate workings of an
old farm's ecosystem. Hoagland's exploration, from the boreal forests of
Maine to the brawny Belize River, illuminates both the exotic and the wilds
of our own backyards.
Hoagland reports from the front lines of life. He recounts fascinating detail with exacting prose. He's irascible, brilliant, probing, sharp-witted, and brutally honest about himself and the state of the natural world. No one who admires John Muir, Henry David Thoreau, John Burroughs, and Edward Abbey should miss this definitive collection. It will forever change the way you view the natural world.. |
