Über diesen Titel

Críticas

"From cover to cover, Kathleen Dean Moore's book is full of 'Darn, I wish I'd said thats.' After all, you've thought, and felt, most of the things she writes about, but you've never been able to articulate them--to yourself or others--the way she does in this deceptively simple, insightful book. Dean Moore is hard-wired into the spiritual aspects of spending time in the outdoors, from camping, fishing and traveling down rivers to a phobia about being eaten by a bear. (The author) has a scientist's eye for detail, from the vibrant color of leaves to ripples on a stream, but a philosopher's heart in describing the experience."-- "Statesman-Journal" "A gifted essayist. . . Moore's prose is elegant and poetic."--"Hungry Mind Review "

Reseña del editor

In a quest for the metaphorical holdfast--the structure at the end of seaweedstrands that attach to rock--the author of "Riverwalking" seeks to understandthat which affixes her firmly to family and place.
