内容简介

Adelightful and surprising reflection on the complexities of the human relationship with nature, Wolves and Honey is a wonderful blend of nature writing and memoir grounded in the exploration of two eccentric personalitiesone a trapper, the other a beekeeperand their very different attitudes toward the world. While illuminating her own poignant relationships with these men who deeply influenced her, Susan Brind Morrow offers a meditation on the land itselfspecifically, the rich and storied Finger Lakes region of New York. From the history of apple-growing in America to the myth of the Tree of Life, Morrow's writing makes sociological, linguistic, and metaphorical connections that provide a strikingly original reflection on the fine but resilient threads that bind humans to the natural world.
