Within These Woods

"We do not own these woods. They own us" - Timothy Goodwin

"(This book) is arresting, like the wee lesson at the end of an Aesop's fable. All who spend time in the woods ... will deeplyappreciate this book." –Minneapolis Star Tribune

Goodwin's book is an intimate journey into the Northwoods. As a biologist, musician and artist, he explores the diversity of life, from flora to fauna, who live in the forest near his cabin in the woods. This book is truly like taking a walk in nature with a good friend who has a scientific eye and the soul of an artist. Includes 60 original illustrations by the author.
