A tour of the hidden world of wild animals offers forty narrative essays on the author's encounters with a variety of species, in a volume that evaluates the behaviors, habitats, and life cycles of such creatures as bighorn sheep, sharks, and peregrine fa
To whom does the past belong? Is the archeologist who discovers a lost tomb a sort of hero -- or a villain? If someone steals a relic from a museum and returns it to the ruin it came from, is she a thief? Written in his trademark lyrical style, Craig Childs's riveting new book is a ghost story -- an intense, impassioned investigation into the nature of the past and the things we leave behind. We visit lonesome desert canyons and fancy Fifth Avenue art galleries, journey throughout the Americas, Asia, the past and the present. The result is a brilliant book about man and nature, remnants and memory, a dashing tale of crime and detection.
A collection of short vignettes, arranged in rough chronological order, about explorers, miners and assorted characters associated with the Grand Canyon, past and present.
