520    "This collection represents part of the enduring legacy of
       Barry Lopez, hailed as a 'national treasure' (Outside) and
       "one of our finest writers" (Los Angeles Times Book 
       Review) when he died in December 2020. An ardent steward 
       of the land, fearless traveler, and unrivaled observer of 
       nature and culture in all its forms, Lopez lost much of 
       the Oregon property where he had lived for over fifty 
       years when it was consumed by wildfire, likely caused by 
       climate change. Fortunately, some of his papers survived, 
       including four never-before published pieces that are 
       gathered here, along with essays written in the final 
       years of his life; these essays appear now for the first 
       time in book form. Written in his signature observant and 
       vivid prose, these essays offer an autobiography in pieces
       that a reader can assemble while journeying with Lopez 
       along his many roads. They unspool memories at once 
       personal and political, including tender, sometimes 
       painful stories from Lopez's childhood in New York City 
       and California; reports from the field as he accompanies 
       scientists on expeditions to study animals; travels to 
       Antarctica and some of the most remote places on earth; 
       and to life in his own backyard, adjacent to a wild, 
       racing river. He reflects on those who taught him: the 
       Indigenous elders and scientific mentors who sharpened his
       eye for the natural world--an eye that, as the reader 
       comes to see, missed nothing. And with striking poignancy 
       and searing candor, he confronts the challenges of his 
       last years as he contends with the knowledge of his 
       mortality, as well as with the dangers the Earth--and all 
       of its people--are facing."--|cProvided by publisher.
