About this book
Nature in Maine is an unusual collection of short essays about nature. They are philosophical, but they also convey accurate information about the landscape, plants and animals of Midcoast Maine where the author has traveled on foot or by canoe for decades. Every essay reveals some insight about man's role in nature or life in general. Many of the pieces deal with fields, forests, rocks, mountains, flowers and wildlife. There are also interesting groups of essays dealing with people and places, traveling by canoe and the character of suburban development. The author's philosophy is unique because he strives to understand the world from the point of view of wildlife, not just human beings. He concludes that nature means freedom, not only for the plants and animals he loves, but also for people like himself who cherish a life of solitude and simplicity.
