Description
"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."
