The Natural History of a Mountain Meadow and Its Cirque - Paperback by Books by splitShops

Fulfilled by our friends at Books by splitShops

by Chris Maser (Author)

Secreted within these covers is the story of a primeval mountain meadow and the life histories of its creatures-from earthworms tending the soil to bugs that can skate the lake, shrews that can sit on the water of the stream as it flows downhill, bats patrolling the night skies, ravens trying to outsmart one another, and the chorus of wolves as they hunt deer and elk. This book is but an infinitesimal glimpse of the beauty and wonder of Nature that is irretrievably slipping away in our increasingly competitive race to commercialize the world. In the meadow, however, we can feel our spiritual roots and momentarily reconnect with the eternal cycle of life of which we are an inseparable part.
