Description
This collection brings together eight richly observed pieces spanning the Arctic reaches of Alaska and northern Maine to the forests and communities of New Jersey. With characteristic curiosity, the author explores the arrival of modern technology in remote villages, the return of wild bears, the culture of working professionals, and the ingenuity of people living closely with the land. Along the way, readers encounter bush pilots, fish-and-game wardens, doctors, engineers, and other individuals whose daily lives reveal larger stories about change, adaptation, and place. Precise, vivid, and quietly revealing, these essays showcase the distinctive literary journalism of one of America’s foremost nonfiction writers.
