About this title

From the Back Cover:

A journey of the spirit through four seasons, Paul Gruchow's Boundary Waters is an ecstatic contemplation of nature and our place in it from a writer of great poise and power. These boundary waters--straddling the border between northern Minnesota and Ontario--are a vast network of forest and thousands of lakes, isolated and pristine. It is to this landscape that Gruchow turns in an attempt to better define himself and his place in nature. As he did in Grass Roots: The Universe of Home, Paul Gruchow again demonstrates that he can explore the relationship of person to place magnificently, illuminating not only our lands, but our souls.

From the Inside Flap:

Armchair travelers and real-life trekkers will welcome this fully revised and updated edition of Jeremy Bernstein's In the Himalayas. In this book, Berstein--writer, physicist, and mountaineer--surveys the people, places, and politics of some of the most enchanting territory on earth. From the doggedness of the Sherpas to the crushing force of Chinese Communism, from unforgettable vistas to hilarious mishaps in the outback, Bernstein presents the panoply of Himalayan experience in vidid, memorable detail.
