At the edge of the senses.
"I live in a rain forest in western Oregon, on the banks of a mountain river in relatively undisturbed country, surrounded by 150-foot-tall Douglas firs, delicate deer-head orchids, and clearings where wild berries grow" (p. 148), Barry Lopez writes in this collection of his 1978 to 1986 essays. Lopez allows each essay to tell a story leaving its reader with "an inexplicable renewal of ...

Farrar, Straus and Giroux (BYR), 1998

A Story to Share Again and Again
I have given more copies of Crow and Weasel away than any other book in recent years. It is the most beautiful portrait of male friendship available in any genre for children or adults. I most often give copies to young men facing some important transition in their own lives...graduation from high school or college when they too will be asked to go beyond what is familiar, and in doing so, ...

Home Ground: Language for an American Landscape

18 reviews

Trinity University Press, 2006

Home Ground
Word lovers, geography and ecology buffs, this is for you... I initially found this book as suggested reading for those wanting to explore ideas about "a sense of place". Specifically, how this "sense" can become a kind of spiritual practice, enriching our lives and promoting a feeling of connection to our earth. I'd heard nothing else about the book and, so, had no preconceived notions. ...

The Future of Nature: Writing on a Human Ecology from Orion Magazine (The World As Home)

Milkweed Editions, 2007

The western mindset is arguably one of the greatest threats to the world?s ecological balance. Corporatism and globalization are two of the obvious villains here, but what part does human nature play in the problem? Since its inception in 1982, Orion magazine has been a forum for looking beyond the effects of ecological crises to their root causes in human culture. Less an anthology than a vision statement, this timely collection challenges ...

DENT, 1979

I wish I could give it all the stars in the sky...
This book should be required reading for everyone. Lopez, a superior author in his own right, created THE classic book on wolf behavior and on the relationship between wolves and humans from ancient to modern times. The first few chapters deal with wolf biology and behavior, and dispel many of the myths--including the idea that nobody has ever been attacked by a healthy wolf in North America ...

River Notes
I am a big fan of the old slim version of River Notes. It has such a beautiful flow, like rivers. I have lived all my life near rivers. My soul belongs to them. I am so greatful for this writing. Lopez takes you down this path that borders on lunacy, but having spent plenty of alone time on rivers, working out the various troubles of life as I roamed, I understand this perfectly. Not a book ...

For Two Stories...
It seems an earlier reviewer had the same feelings as I about this book; I would just say - buy it for 'The Woman Who Had Shells' and 'The Orrery'. Both are twists of simple, magical stuff.

Filling and fulfilling
I bought this book while in the tourist center at McKinley National Park in Alaska because of the chapter on Polar Bears (someone at the desk recommended it to me). I have found this book to be amazing. This is one of the most rewarding books I've ever read. It's one of very few books that I'll read more than once. Lopez's writing creates a desire to know more, to research more, and to ...

Harper Perennial, 1990

Intelligent Design, Coyote-style
For those people who are still trying to decide between evolution and intelligent design, here is yet another creation story to ponder (or add to the curriculum), this one involving Coyote, who "was not necessarily a coyote, nor even a creature of strict physical dimensions." The subtitle of this book is "Coyote Builds North America." "Giving Birth to Thunder, Sleeping with his Daughter" is a ...

National Book Award-winner, Barry Lopez (ARCTIC DREAMS), understands that finding meaning in and surviving difficult times is not easy, and RESISTANCE is his provocative response to the current administration's war on terrorism and what it really means to be a patriot. With his unique insights into what it means ...

Good
Stories are told to entertain and/or enlighten. His formulation makes it seems as if art is some sort of laxative. He also subscribes to the rather noxious idea that art is about truth, and that there exists some sort of sacred trust, or the like, between writers and readers, when all an artist owes his audience is always attempting his best. Yet, this sort of creping insipidity is not the ...
