This is too beautiful for words

Now, it took me awhile to get into this book. I tend to be annoyed with people who use "Western science" as a derogative unironically. I also think that the pictures of the Native life are way over-idealized. However, all of it is irrelevant. This is a kind of story that does not need to be true to be worth telling.

This book has a good chance of shifting your perception of nature and of ecological matters, completely, and transform your relationship with the world. And I don't say that often.
