About this product

Product Information

From the acclaimed scientist and writer, essays collected for the first time in book form, on ravens and other birds, insects, trees, elephants, and more, bring passionate observations (that) superbly mix memoir and science (New York Times). From one of the finest scientist/writers of our time comes an engaging record of a life spent in close observation of the natural world, one that has yielded marvelous, mind-altering (Los Angeles Times) insight and discoveries. In essays that span several decades, Heinrich finds himself at his beloved camp in Maine; plays host to annoying visitors from Europe (the cluster fly) and more helpful guests from Asia (ladybugs); and unravels the far-reaching ecological consequences of elephants in Botswana bruising mopane trees. Heinrich then turns to his great love, the extraordinary behaviours of ravens; chronicles a magical sighting of hundreds of loons congregated on a lake in Maine, something never recorded before; and observes that the human species has biological roots as endurance runners: We were all runners once. Finally, he asks Where does a biologist find hope? In Naturalist at Large, Bernd Heinrich delivers an answer. AUTHOR: Bernd Heinrich is an acclaimed scientist and the author of numerous books, including the best-selling Winter World, Mind of the Raven, Why We Run, The Homing Instinct, and One Wild Bird at a Time. Among Heinrich's many honours is the 2013 PEN New England Award in nonfiction for Life Everlasting. SELLING POINTS: . Heinrich is a world-renowned biologist, but even as he approaches the world with a scientific eye, his childlike curiosity and love of anecdotal evidence remain intact (Wall Street Journal). . This is a best-of collection of essays first published in Natural History, Audubon, New York Times, Outside, and more, available here for the FIRST TIME IN BOOK FORM, AND INCLUDING SEVERAL ORIGINAL PIECES . Ravens, hawks, bees, butterflies, elephants, and much more, seen through the lens of Heinrich's fabled fieldwork and plenty of hard science. Add to that those moments when the author stands agape at what he observes . . . and the writing nearly attains the lyric poignancy of poetry (Library Journal, starred review of The Homing Instinct).
