The Tourist Trail, John Yunker https://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_no...

I am hoping that our book is one I can't resist as I have been so behind. Just finishing Hidden Life of Trees and have skipped some months.

I will suggest Life Everlasting by a favorite author Bernd Heinrich - I will post a link when I get on the computer

I think you'll enjoy my review of Life Everlasting: The Animal Way of Death. https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

Pam nominated a fantastic and profound book. Showing my bias here, but Heinrich is a favorite nature writer for me, and this book brings up some terribly interesting discussion topics. plus it would be so interesting to get input from our readers in countries other than the US--(regarding green burials).

Life Everlasting: The Animal Way of Death

Here's link, so you can check out the book directly.

I've been wanting to read this one!

Hello, all. I am throwing my own book into the ring, for consideration. I hope that's OK!
Some info on The Book of Noticing: Collections and Connections on the Trail. John Muir said, “When one tugs at a single thing in nature, he finds it attached to the rest of the world.” So is the case for each walk-inspired essay from Katherine Hauswirth. Each reflection hands you talismans that you can turn over thoughtfully in your palm. Hauswirth’s meditative reveries reflect on the deep connections between what we experience outdoors and our day-to-day existence as humans, peppered with thought-provoking facts as well as treasured words from other lovers of the natural world.
