Description
A journey through the natural world of New England, with an expert guide, and reflections on the relationship between nature and humankind.
For native and visitor alike, the New England landscape has a rich allure. This grand sweep of land is a living tapestry woven of interconnected bioregions and natural communities whose compositions of plants and animals have evolved over time.
In more than fifty essays, Michael J. Caduto brings readers into the complex stories to be found in nature. Drawing on first-hand experiences and reflections on the relationship between the natural world and humans, Caduto explores some of the plants, animals, natural places, and environmental issues of New England—from dragonflies, cuckoos, and chipmunks to circumpolar constellations and climate change. Stunning illustrations by Adelaide Murphy Tyrol illuminate these elegant and humorous essays.
“Nature is beautifully complex, and the closer you look the more you see of that beauty. Michael Caduto is an engaging explorer and observer who helps readers see and appreciate the world around us.” Andrew Fisk, Executive Director, Connecticut River Watershed Council
