NATURAL WONDER

One of America’s most loved and respected nature writers, Barry Lopez is best known for his National Book Award winner, Arctic Dreams,
an eloquent, compelling defense of the Arctic wilderness. The author of
six books of nonfiction and eight books of fiction, his work examines
the relationship between the physical landscape and human culture.
“There are simply no answers to some of the great pressing questions,”
Lopez says. “You continue to live them out, making your life a worthy
expression of leaning into the light.”
