He thoughtfully explores humankind's place in this vast natural scheme, and opens our eyes to its breathtaking complexity.   This ebook features an illustrated biography of Barry Lopez including rare images and never-before-seen documents from the author's personal collection.

Reviews

"Mr. Lopez's tone is intimate, inviting, as if his words share the air with the snap and hiss of a campfire."
The New York Times Book Review
"He makes the reader at home with himself and the world. Anyone who has ever felt lost should read this book."
The Philadelphia Inquirer
"Lopez looks at flocks of geese, and bull riders, and the tracks of Arctic fox in the snow, and then he tells us about ourselves."
