The outdoors offers a fresh lesson with every season and every step. Stanton Kirkham roams in the open, marking the signs of spring, the songs of the woods, the ways of the ant, and the studies of autumn. Buoyant, wide-ranging nature essays for the walker and watcher. For the reader who wants to meet field, wood, and wild garden through curious eyes. Head out into the open.

Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
