a Year's Watch in Nature

I am half way through this book and cannot put it down. While it is a bit choppy, the subject matter is one that we all experience around us and Haskell opens our eyes to see it all in a different way. Whether he is talking about how mosses hydrate or trees manage to get water up to their highest leaves, he does so with insight, humor and the ability to keep on interested in the matter at hand. While the format of a year in a place is old hat, he makes us experience his 'mandala' of land and invites us to share in its intimate secrets. A great read
