“Gives the reader a new perspective on this avenue of writing.”—<i>The National Writers Club</i><br /> “Serves as a sampler: of styles, of perceptions, of world views, from an idea of our place in the universe to the detail of why red chilies grow under red-fruited trees in the Sonoran desert. Reading the words of these very different writers side by side, we get a sense of what nature writers as a group do.”—<i>Utah Humanities News</i><br /> “<i>Writing Natural History</i> can give us ways to help our students find wholeness. The book shows us the need for, and demonstrates, the connections between science and the humanities.”—<i>Middlebury College, Bread Loaf News</i><br /> “The challenge of reacting on their feet often sparks electricity among the participants which the reader feels across the page.”—<i>Journal of the Southwest</i><br /> “Those chosen to participate in these dialogues were not only fine writers but eloquent speakers, and the graceful language is one of several pleasures in the volume.”—<i>Weber Studies</i><br /> “Satisfactory for most readers will be the spontaneity, the occasional frankness, and the humor. A slender book that should have broad appeal.”—<i>Books of the Southwest</i><br /> “A slim, self-effacing volume that brims with fresh insight and solid lore, lively reasoning and passionate commitment, quite eloquence and hearty humor. These fecund and vigorous conversations are nothing short of a great gift to anyone with an interest in the field.”—<i>Wilson Library Bulletin</i><br />
