An ardent steward of the land, fearless traveler, and unrivaled observer of nature and culture in all its forms, Lopez lost much of the Oregon property where he had lived for over fifty years when it was consumed by wildfire, likely caused by climate change. Fortunately, some of his papers survived, including four never-before published pieces that are gathered here, along with essays written in the final years of his life; these essays appear now for the first time in book form. Written in his signature observant and vivid prose, these essays offer an autobiography in pieces that a reader can assemble while journeying with Lopez along his many roads. They unspool memories at once personal and political, including tender, sometimes painful stories from Lopez's childhood in New York City and California; reports from the field as he accompanies scientists on expeditions to study animals; travels to Antarctica and some of the most remote places on earth; and to life in his own backyard, adjacent to a wild, racing river. He reflects on those who taught him: the Indigenous elders and scientific mentors who sharpened his eye for the natural world--an eye that, as the reader comes to see, missed nothing. And with striking poignancy and searing candor, he confronts the challenges of his last years as he contends with the knowledge of his mortality, as well as with the dangers the Earth-and all of its people--are facing"-- $c Provided by publisher. 600 10 $a Lopez, Barry Holstun, $d 1945-2020 $x Travel. 655 7 $a Essays. $2 lcgft. 655 7 $a Travel writing. $2 lcgft. 700 1 $a Solnit, Rebecca, $e writer of introduction. 941 $a 16 952 $l ALPE516 $d 20240417020032.0 952 $l SFPH074 $d 20240314024852.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20231103011305.0 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20231010033110.0 952 $l FXPH314 $d 20230725010351.0 952 $l CDPC522 $d 20230506010344.0 952 $l VXPE964 $d 20221231010940.0 952 $l UNUX074 $d 20221203065748.0 952 $l UQAX771 $d 20221012010533.0 952 $l GDPF771 $d 20220903010205.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20220823010618.0 952 $l XXPH787 $d 20220802023118.0 952 $l GBPF771 $d 20220702010802.0 952 $l TYPH572 $d 20220630013013.0 952 $l CDPF771 $d 20220602010629.0 952 $l CAPH522 $d 20220601010215.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=22D786D0E17011EC82262A731FECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
