Synopsis
"Good biologist though [Janovy] is, he's an even better nature writer, with a special affinity for the mysterious and the mystic."-Noel Perrin "This 'human need for wilderness' is the trail winding through Back in Keith County . . . [to] the streams of John Janovy's 'inner cowboy country.' The fourteen essays are a very human mix of biology, sentiment, wandering observation and personal philosophy."-Smithsonian John Janovy Jr. is Varner Professor at the School of Biological Sciences, University of Nebraska-Lincoln, and director of the Cedar Point Biological Station. He is the author of Keith County Journal and On Becoming a Biologist, also available as a Bison Book.

Reviews
Three books by biologist Janovy offer intimate looks at the natural world and the web of relationships among living things.
Copyright 1996 Cahners Business Information, Inc.
This trio was first published in 1982, 1979, and 1986, respectively. Keith County (LJ 1/15/79) and its Back in sequel (LJ 3/1/82) both cover the author's observations on plant and animal life in the fields and marshes of Keith County, NE. In Becoming a Biologist (LJ 2/15/86), Janovy's emphasis is not on the purely scientific side of the work but on the role and responsibility of the biologist.
