Walking the High Ridge by Robert Michael Pyle
"Teaches us how to be the best kind of human beings." --ECLECTICA
As a boy in Colorado, Robert Michael Pyle fell in love with alpine heights and the butterflies that float above the tree line. This early passion sparked a career in conservation that took Pyle across the globe--until he realized that he was no longer as intimate with the natural world that first spurred him to action.
Walking the High Ridge is a journey through Pyle's "unruly pack of interests"--biology, nature conservation, and literature--to his decision finally to choose the life that would give free reign to his scientific and creative impulses and keep him "as much as possible, out of doors."
Robert Michael Pyle is the author of sixteen books, including the John Burroughs Medal-winning Chasing Monarchs and Wintergreen. Throughout his career, he has studied and written about natural history, and he has worked as a butterfly conservation consultant, writer, and teacher in every state and many countries. In southwest Washington, he lives beside a tributary of the Lower Columbia River.
