Land of Grass and Sky:
A Naturalist's Prairie Journey
The author's odyssey through the austere yet beautiful shortgrass prairie offers stories of connection to the land. Part nature lore, part history, part meditation, this narrative reveals an intricately-woven landscape of wildlife, plants, and people. To look beyond the open space, to truly know a prairie and its secrets, the author learns to look inward, and to see with more than her eyes. She discovers the prairie's greatest lesson: As we learn to appreciate this land of hidden wonders, we come to value ourselves.
