A positively delightful collection of short essays from a renowned Japanese wildlife photographer who loved the wilderness of Alaska enough to move there, eventually dying by fatal bear attack while on a shoot in the Kamchatka Peninsula. Poignant reflections from a keen observer of both nature and people. Billed as a modern classic in Japan with half a million copies sold, and just now translated into English for the first time, this lives up to the hype. Thanks for putting this in my hands, Helena! -Steven |
