Mystical Naturalist

Barry Lopez is a top-notch naturalist, but his writing is more mystical than scientific. His musings on the thoughts and dreams of herons are glorious, and he brings out the divine in nature like few can. You will want to join him at riverside after reading this book. River Notes is a mix of profound observations of nature and provocative human stories, united by the river that flows through it all in flood and drought.
