A 1999 Collection of Wilderness Essays, Fieldwork Science, and Remote Landscapes

Award-winning science and nature writer David Quammen gathers twenty-three fieldwork essays tracing human encounters with the natural world. Drawing on assignments across four continents, Quammen travels from kayaking Chile's untamed Futaleufú River to trekking Indonesia's remote Aru Islands and tracking urban wildlife.

Blending investigative journalism with evolutionary biology, the essays analyze habitat fragmentation, species survival, environmental conservation, and the human compulsion to test limits against wilderness environments.

Why You’ll Love This Book

David Quammen combines rigorous natural science with vivid outdoor reporting and narrative prose. Perfect for fans of nature writing, environmental journalism, and wilderness essays.
