Reading the Wild

We share the earth with hundreds of thousands of species. All around us, animals are going about their lives, eating, mating, organizing & playing. Even a city park has signs of animal life, if you look closely. Man is really a part of a network of life on earth. This book, with Doolittle's detailed watercolor paintings, gives us clues, from both Indian lore & modern science, to understanding the animal life around us. A walk through the woods, or even a single tree, can become a scavenger hunt for the signs of animal life. From a tiny frog that lives above the treeline in the Sierra Nevada, to the great grizzly bear who was associated with healing & medicine by many Native Peoples, this book will fill you with wonder & respect for the preservation of our wilderness.Doolittle, Bev is the author of 'Reading the Wild', published 2005 under ISBN 9780756796495 and ISBN 0756796490.
