Bernd Heinrich, considered by many to be today's finest naturalist author, is followed over the course of a year as he reflects on his past and shares his ideas about nature, science, art, beauty, and writing. With his profound love of nature, penetrating mind, and gift for conveying his insights, Heinrich is an inspiring figure whose story will be appreciated by not only his large following of readers but by anyone interested in the beauty and workings of our natural world.—Anonymous
