Notes
Description
"In a collection of gripping stories of adventure, bestselling author Doug Peacock--loner, iconoclast, environmentalist, and contemporary of Edward Abbey--reflects on a life lived in the wild, reflecting on the question many ask in their twilight years: "Was It Worth It?" With adventures both close to home (grizzlies in Yellowstone and jaguars in the high Sonoran Desert) and farther afield (tigers in Siberia, jaguars again in Belize, spirit bears in the wilds of British Columbia, all the amazing birds of the Galapagos), Peacock acknowledges that Covid 19 has put "everyone's mortality in the lens now and it's not necessarily a telephoto shot." Peacock recounts these adventures to try to understand and explain his perspective on Nature: That wilderness is the only thing left worth saving"--,Provided by publisher.
