Overview

“From the icy coasts of Greenland, to the steaming rainforests of Costa Rica, John Hay’s seasoned eye leads us to the phenomena which bind all life on earth. For Hay, the wilderness is not just some underdeveloped patch of land that escaped the bulldozers opening the paths of progress. It is the underlying health and wealth of this entire planet, the “real world” beneath all of civilization’s superficial distractions. It is a world for which John Hay’s rich and pensive writings form one of the best field guides that I know of.” —Gary Nabhan

Focusing on nature as inseparable from the deepest human experience, this book argues that scientific advances cannot substitute for the life of nature.
