We felt privileged to have Karsten Heuer join our Stegner Lecture Series. His emphasis on the importance of preserving wild places and the need we have as humans to know that such places exist strongly echoes Stegner's idea of wilderness as not just a physical place but "an intangible and spiritual resource." Karsten's multimedia presentation and his beautiful photographs and video clips reinforced his book reading and discussion about the journey he and his wife Leanne Alison made on foot to follow the Porcupine Caribou herd from the Yukon to their calving grounds in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. His story-and his presentation-can only be described as inspirational.--Jan Nystrom, Associate Director "The Wallace Stegner Center "

"The book is full of outstanding photographs, particularly those that show the vast terrain behind the herds. The resources on the final page are also incredible, particularly the websites that show the seasonal movements of the herd. Being Caribou is an outstanding piece of nonfiction as it combines fact, intrigue and contemporary purpose."--The Daily Republic, SD

The author describes his unique honeymoon on which he and his wife followed a herd of migrating caribou from its wintering grounds to its calving area in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge and back again.. NOTA: El libro no está en español, sino en inglés.
