Henry David Thoreau's 'The Most Alive is the Wildest Thoreau's Complete Works on Living in Harmony with the Nature' is a comprehensive collection of Thoreau's writings that delve into the themes of nature, simplicity, and self-reliance. Through a poetic and contemplative literary style, Thoreau explores the beauty and importance of living in harmony with the natural world, offering insightful reflections on the interconnectedness of all living beings. Drawing on his experiences living in solitude at Walden Pond, Thoreau advocates for a minimalist lifestyle that values simplicity and spiritual connection to the Earth. Henry David Thoreau, a Transcendentalist thinker and naturalist, was deeply influenced by the writings of Ralph Waldo Emerson and his own observations of nature. His belief in the importance of individualism and the preservation of the environment resonates throughout his works, inspiring readers to seek a deeper connection with the natural world. I highly recommend 'The Most Alive is the Wildest' to readers interested in exploring the philosophical and environmental themes of Thoreau's writing. Thoreau's timeless wisdom and poetic prose offer a valuable perspective on the significance of living in harmony with nature, making this collection a must-read for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of humanity's relationship with the Earth.
In the 1990s, a marine scientist named Brian Kingzett was commissioned to survey Canada's western coast. He saw amazing sights, from the wildest, most breathtaking coasts to the smallest of marine creatures. Along the western side of Vancouver Island, Kingzett nosed into an isolated pocket beach where he found something unusual. Amid the mussels, barnacles, and clams were round oysters-Olympias. Kingzett noted their presence and paddled on. A decade later when he met Betsy Peabody, executive director of the Puget Sound Restoration Fund (PSRF), he learned that this once ubiquitous native oyster was in steep decline, and he knew that together they would return to this remote spot. Rowan Jacobsen, along with Kingzett, Peabody, and a small group of scientists from PSRF and the Nature Conservancy, set out last July to see if the Olys were still surviving-and if they were, what they could learn from them. The goal: to use their pristine natural beds, which have probably been around for millennia, as blueprints for the habitat restoration efforts in Puget Sound. The implications are vast. If Peabody and her team can bring good health back to Puget Sound by restoring the intertidal zones-the areas of land exposed during low tide and submerged during high tide, where oysters live-their research could serve as a model for saving the world's oceans. During a time when the fate of the oceans seems uncertain, Rowan Jacobsen has found hope in the form of a small shelled creature living in the lost world where all life began.
Each year, more than a million people visit the spectacular sweep of sand that stretches along Vancouver Island's west coast between Tofino and Ucluelet to watch waves crash ashore on a series of beaches-essentially one long beach separated by small rocky headlands, a shoreline steps away from howling wolves and towering red cedars. In Long Beach Wild: A Celebration of People and Place on Canada's Rugged Western Shore, local resident Adrienne Mason uses her intimate knowledge of the area and a selection of historic and contemporary photos to explore the region's rich natural and cultural history. Mason shows how Long Beach was shaped by many forces, including volcanoes, glaciers, and torrents of water. She describes how the deposits of gravel and silt that this tumult left behind allowed offshore kelp beds and sea otters to thrive and supported the growth of countless other organisms, from lichens and ferns to waterfowl and deer. She also describes how First Nations people found inspiration and sustenance in the area for thousands of years, hunting whales on the open ocean using harpoons with mussel-shell blades and great lengths of cedar bark rope. As well as describing the traditions of the area's First Nations, Mason
