2013-07-10 23:33:42| Powells Books Events Calendar
By turns epic and intimate, Aaron Hirsh's Telling Our Way to the Sea (Farrar Straus Giroux) is both a staggering revelation of unraveling ecosystems and a profound meditation on our changing relationships with nature — and with one another. When biologists Aaron Hirsh and Veronica Volny lead 12 college students to a remote fishing village on the Sea of Cortez, they come upon a bay of dazzling beauty and richness but soon recognize that the bay, spectacular and pristine though it seems, is but a ghost of what it once was. Glimpsing the intricate and ever-shifting web of human connections with the Sea itself, the students comprehend anew their own place in the natural world — suspended between past and future, teetering between abundance and loss.
