Sinossi

This collection concentrates on essays and articles written for the North Forty News, Colorado Gardener magazine, and other regional publications over the past twenty years, but the reader will also discover excerpts from longer works—including a bit of science fiction. I often chuckled as I wrote these pieces and hope you do too. Enjoy the view from a mountaintop. Learn about the microbial conquest of Earth, and how flowering plants remade the world. Visit Pleistocene ghosts at large in the modern world and discover how to make postmodern decisions with prehistoric brains. After finishing the book, you will be prepared to tell your child why plants are green and how to find Great Blue Dinosaurs along the meandering shorelines of majestic desert canyons. And I hope you’ll enjoy my closing letter to our successors (of whatever species) 50,000 years hence.
