Summary

Aplunge Down a Winter Mountainside above a darkening valley. An innocent walk in the woods. An afternoon amble over grassy hills. A kayak trip through a hurricane. This powerful collection of original essays by outstanding writers from the United States, Canada, Great Britain, and Australia is based on personal experiences with nature. By turns lyrical, humorous, spiritual, irreverent, and terrifying, each essay is beautifully written and deeply felt, and all are testimonies to the transformative powers of the natural world. Book jacket.
