A beautiful meditation on the author’s lifelong connections with nature and running, and the inevitable end of those relationships. Readers who enjoyed Heinrich’s other books will find, and welcome, the familiar themes of his extraordinary life.
Recommended for collections with strengths in biology or natural science. ["This compelling collection will appeal to those interested in natural history or the environment of northern New England": LJ 3/15/18 review of the Houghton Harcourt hc.]
This compelling collection will appeal to those interested in natural history or the environment of northern New England, with the caveat that Heinrich focuses on the inland, forested part of the region, rather than the coast.
This is a solid story for those interested in biological research but perhaps not for the casual listener. ["A fine, entertaining book for general readers, as well as an excellent resource for those seeking meticulously gathered and documented scientific information": LJ 12/99 review of the Cliff Street hc.]
Natural history fans will love this book. Its appeal is multilayered, with many fascinating instances of Heinrich's fabled fieldwork and plenty of hard science. Add to that those moments where the author stands agape at what he observes—say, a spider's web—and the writing nearly attains the lyric poignancy of poetry. [See Prepub Alert, 11/1/13.]
