"Richard Louv's Noticing isn't nature writing as usual, it's an invitation to meet the more-than-human world through all the senses. Drawing on research, mindfulness practices, Indigenous wisdom, and intimate encounters in the biodiverse California wilderness, Louv shows us that there's far more to the outdoors than what meets the eye. The result is a beautiful ode to wonder--and a reminder that our capacity for enchantment is a skill we can relearn."
--Linda Åkeson McGurk, author of The Open-Air Life and There's No Such Thing as Bad Weather
