In fifty-nine essays and poems, Ora E. Anderson, birder, bird carver, naturalist, and nature writer, reveals the insights and recollections of a keen-eyed observer of nature, both human and avian. The essays follow the rivers and creeks, the highways and little-known byways of Appalachia, and along the way we become nearly as familiar with its numerous bird, plant, and animal species as with the author himself. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e These are not the memories of a single year, however, but of a long lifetime spent immersed in the natural world. \u003ci\u003eOut of the Woods\u003c\/i\u003e, presented with humor and passion, is an account of a well-lived, productive, and satisfying life. The essays offer an intimate portrait of a half century of Anderson's life on his beloved old farm (more nearly a nature preserve), where he lived in harmony with birds and nature and followed the rhythm of the seasons. We are invited to share the joys-and the disappointments and sorrows-inherent in such a life. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Generously illustrated with Julie Zickefoose's detailed and evocative drawings, this book will delight bird watchers, artists, naturalists, backyard gardeners, and anyone who is ever tempted to take a rutted, overgrown path just to see where it leads.","brand":"Ohio University Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47612675489943,"sku":"9780821417423","price":1979.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780821417423.webp?v=1775079584","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/out-of-the-woods-a-bird-watchers-year-9780821417423","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
