The Wild Out Your Window by Sy Montgomery
What could be better than watching the natural world out your window or on your television? Going out and experiencing it firsthand. In these fifty essays, acclaimed nature and science writer Sy Montgomery takes her readers on a season-by-season tour of the wilderness that is often as close as the backyard. Sy invites -- almost dares -- readers to follow her and form hands-on relationships with the plants, animals, birds, and even the insects that share space with people. These essays, most of which originally appeared in Sy's Boston Globe column Nature Journal, are by turns enlightening, entertaining, sometimes amusing, and always absorbing and informative. Filled with natural history and lore, the essays urge readers to appreciate what they find around them.Sy Montgomery is a naturalist, documentary scriptwriter, and the author of thirty-one critically praised nonfiction books for adults and children, including The Soul of an Octopus, a National Book Award finalist, and The Good Good Pig, a New York Times bestseller. She resides in New Hampshire with her husband, writer Howard Mansfield, and a border collie. She has received numerous distinctions, including lifetime achievement awards from the Humane Society and the New England Booksellers Association.
