Craig Childs delves into the primacy of the land and the profound nature of the more–than–human.\n\nCRAIG CHILDS is the author of more than a dozen books on nature, adventure, and science, including The Secret Knowledge of Water and Atlas of a Lost World. His work has appeared in the New York Times, the Los Angeles Times, and Outside. Recipient of the Ellen Meloy Desert Writers Award and the Sigurd F. Olson Nature Writing Award, he lives in Colorado.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 1948814188\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: 4EKGU9008NE8_ns\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Childs, Craig\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Gently used with minimal wear on the corners and cover.
