Description
The Heartbeat of the Wild: Dispatches from Landscapes of Wonder, Peril, and Hope
This collection of essays by acclaimed author David Quammen takes readers on a journey to places where human needs meet those of the natural world. With 20 elegantly written narratives, originally published in National Geographic magazine, Quammen shares stories of encounters with wild animals, people, and landscapes.
From the challenges faced by communities living alongside wildlife reserves to the efforts of conservationists working to restore habitats, this book offers a nuanced exploration of our relationship with the natural world. With new introduction, afterword, and notes framing each story, Quammen reminds us of the essential role played by wild nature at the heart of the planet.
