520    "Award-winning and beloved author Helen Humphreys 
       discovers her local herbarium and realizes we need to look
       for beauty in whatever nature we have left -- no matter 
       how diminished. Award-winning poet and novelist Helen 
       Humphreys returns to her series of nature meditations in 
       this gorgeously written and illustrated book that takes a 
       deep look at the forgotten world of herbariums and the 
       people who amassed collections of plant specimens in the 
       19th and 20th centuries. From Emily Dickinson's and Henry 
       David Thoreau's collections to the amateur naturalists 
       whose names are forgotten but whose collections still 
       grace our world, herbariums are the records of the often-
       humble plants that are still with us and those that are 
       lost. Over the course of a year, Humphreys considers life 
       and loss and the importance of finding solace in nature. 
       Illustrated throughout with images of herbarium specimens,
       Humphreys's own botanical drawings, and archival 
       photographs, this will be the perfect gift for Humphreys's
       many fans, nature enthusiasts, and for all who loved Birds
       Art Life."--|cProvided by publisher.
