“In our mostly urban world, these writers provide a blue-print for our journeys as parents. The natural world is the prism through which we see our fathers, ourselves—'stardust coalesced in such exquisite and complicated lives'—and the relationship between the two. Father Nature reminds us that each one of these shared moments on the land is a declaration of love.” —Stephen Trimble, co-author of The Geography of Childhood: Why Children Need Wild Places

“How do you thank the person who gave you a vantage from which to see the world?”
