Paperback. Zustand: Good. "Teaches us how to be the best kind of human beings." --ECLECTICA As a boy in Colorado, Robert Michael Pyle fell in love with alpine heights and the butterflies that float above the tree line. This early passion sparked a career in conservation that took Pyle across the globe--until he realized that he was no longer as intimate with the natural world that first spurred him to action. Walking the High Ridge is a journey through Pyle's "unruly pack of interests"--biology, nature conservation, and literature--to his decision finally to choose the life that would give free reign to his scientific and creative impulses and keep him "as much as possible, out of doors.".…

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. An engrossing memoir and eloquent portrait of place, The Thunder Tree shows how powerful the relationship between people and the natural world can be.?When people connect with nature, it happens somewhere,? Pyle writes. ?My own point of intimate contact with the land was a ditch? Without a doubt, most of the elements of my life flowed from that canal.? The High Line Canal, originally built outside of Denver, Colorado, as part of a plan to move river water to the Western plains for irrigation, became the author?s place of sanctuary and play, and his birthplace as a naturalist.This reprint of the classic book, updated with a new foreword by Richard Louv and a preface to this edition, makes one of Pyle?s important early works once again available. For a new generation of readers, it offers a powerful argument for preserving opportunities for exploring nature.…

Paperback. Zustand: Good. An ecologist reflects on the natural wonders of the Pacific Northwest as he describes the lives of plants, animals, and humans through every season of the year during his thirty years in the village of Gray's River, near the mouth of the Columbia River--long out of print, this classic of nature writing is being given a new life in trade paperback with a new afterword by the author. Sky Time in Gray's River is an elegant meditation on life in the rural Northwest. Although Robert Michael Pyle is a lepidopterist, and southwestern Washington is notable for its lack of butterflies, something about the Gray's River Valley spoke to him when he visited more than forty years ago. Since then he has lived near the village of Gray's River, one of the first to be established near the mouth of the Columbia River and only tenuously connected to the world of the twenty-first century. Pyle brings Gray's River to life by compressing those forty years into twelve chapters, following the lives of the people, plants, and animals that make this valley their home, month by month through the seasons. Through his loving portrait of one riverside village, Pyle illustrates how a special place can transform anyone lucky enough to find it. He shows that you don't have to travel far to see something new every day--if you know how to look. …
