4.9/5 (34533 ratings)

Description:Probes deeply into Adirondack Mountain lives, both human and otherwise, bringing the area to vivid and colorful life.Born just north of New York City, Edward Kanze traveled as far as the wilds of Australia and New Zealand, working as a naturalist, park ranger, and nature writer, before finally settling in New York’s Adirondacks for the riskiest of all life’s adventures: marriage and children. Adirondack tells the story of how he and his wife, Debbie, bought a tumbledown house, rescued it from ruin, started a family, and planted themselves deep in Adirondack soil. Along the way, he brings the unique history of this area to life by sharing stories of his ancestors, who have lived there for generations, and by offering captivating descriptions of the world around him. A keen observer, Kanze will charm readers with his tales of bears, birds, and fluorescent mice.“Beautifully written and utterly engaging—I savored every incident, every well-wrought sentence.” — Philip G. Terrie, author of Contested Terrain, Second Edition: A New History of Nature and People in the Adirondacks“Adirondack is an absolute delight. If we were all living like the Kanzes, connected to our extended families, the fellow beings we share the biosphere with, the world would be a much healthier and better place.” — Alex Shoumatoff, contributing editor, Vanity Fair“This is a heartfelt and meticulously researched journal of a man returning to and immersing himself in his home in the Adirondack Park. Connecting with history, natural history, and a community of people, Kanze places the conflicting nature philosophies of John Muir and John Burroughs into context in a relevant and poignant way.” — Bernd Heinrich, author of The Homing Instinct: Meaning and Mystery in Animal Migration“The book reads almost like a conversation with a friend, a good-hearted, compassionate, maybe a little old-fashioned, wise, and wonderful friend.” — Mary A. Hood, author of Walking Seasonal RoadsEdward Kanze is a naturalist and licensed Adirondack guide.
