Editorial Reviews

Chet Raymo is simply the best literary naturalist writing today, producing elegantly written, insightful books that open from a seemingly modest premise into a dizzying (and sometimes humbling) view of our place in the universe.. .. He is our apostle of the joy of curiosity.

Bookpage

Master taleteller, deft and graceful scientist, passionate poet, Raymo is a storycatcher and storysinger of rare humor, hawkness of eye, breadth of biology and physics acumen, and lyricism of line. Trust me when I say that swimming in his stories is elevating, edifying, and exuberant-making.

Brian Doyle

Chet Raymo, bless him, is one of those enchanting polymaths who are in love with the universe and use the language of science to make up the words for their love songs. So struck is he by the animated magnificence of clouds, hills, oceans, islands and the light in the sky that he makes geology, physics and astronomy into life sciences and then sings in the language of these life sciences to life itself.

The Boston Globe

A beautiful series of essays that examine science, religion, and the landscape of Kerry.. .. A travel book about the world of ideas.

Irish Echo

A reverie, an entrancing meditation, on stones and stars and mossy ruins. .. Raymo has somehow found a way to invoke magic, without requiring me to believe in it.
