Book Description
When naturalist Heinrich
sets out for a year in the wilds of Maine accompanied only by
his pet raven, Jack, readers everywhere will want to tag
along.
Looking for the answers to life's
questions in the richness of one small place, he settles into
a rustic log cabin.
There is research to be done - on
songbirds, insects, and mosses; but there is also life to be
lived - chopping wood, carrying water, and planting a
garden.
By melding his own life with the
life of the Maine wilderness, Heinrich finds meaning within
this complex fabric far beyond our ordinary perceptions. T
hroughout this year where
"the subtle matters and the spectacular distracts,"
he brings us back to the drama in small things, when life is
lived consciously.
