From his cabin in the woods and out of his large store of knowledge and experience, Harold Kohn makes his shrewd and discerning, always wise and practical, observations on human life and on the life of nature. This is the kind of book that the reader will enjoy for a very long time and will want to return to often. Each of the nearly fifty essays is a delight in itself and an opportunity to reflect upon the human and natural worlds of which we all are members. And the many drawings by the author succeed beautifully in capturing the mood of reflection.
