Beyond Your Doorstep: A Handbook to the Country
"This is primarily a book about the outdoors, the natural world," writes Hal Borland. "It is primarily about the countryside, not the wilderness; countrysides are common and within reach of almost everyone."Countrysides are still just beyond your own doorsteps, where meadows, woods, riverbanks and roadsides wait, each of them filled with everyday wonders.A stylishly well-written guide to, and meditation on, the flora and fauna of the countryside, Beyond Your Doorstep is now more timely than ever as a source of inspiration for anyone with a desire to know more about the living things we so often look at but never actually see or understand.
