Description

About the Book

The author of "Wintergreen, The Thunder Tree" and "Chasing Monarchs" describes in compelling detail his efforts to live and work in that special natural space Nabokov describes as "a high ridge where the mountainside of knowledge joins the opposite slope of artistic imagination".

Book Synopsis

"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."
