Where The Sky Began: Land of the Tallgrass Prairie… di John Madson
This book is a rare combination of informed and informative writing with lyrical, poetic descriptions that create an unforgettable sense of place. If you have any feeling for the natural world, reading this book will change you, change your outlook not just on tallgrass prairies, but on man's place in and impact on the natural world. The passion of the author for this vanishing world should convince anyone of the need to support efforts to preserve and restore those few remnants of it that remain. I love this book unreservedly.… (altro)
wonderful wonderful peaen to the prairie. if you want to know more about the seemingly unending uneventful uninteresting prairie read thsi book.
George was my first-year printmaking professor in college. He is a wonderful (sarcastic!) man and an amazing artist. When I found out he had a book out, I had to have it, and it does not disappoint. Beautiful!
