This wonderful glimpse into the natural world of the Finger Lakes region of upstate New York blends nature, society, horticulture, agriculture, and history. Native son and linguist Morrow (The Names of Things) starts with the deaths of two beloved friends who were deeply rooted in the region's natural world. Eloquently covering a large natural canvas, moving back and forth between the present and the past, Morrow brings to life the uniqueness of this region as well as the meaning of remembrance and responsibility toward family and friends. Recommended for all natural history and New York collections.-Michael D. Cramer, Schwarz BioSciences, RTP, NC Copyright 2004 Reed Business Information.
