Publisher Description
"A collection of meditations like polished stones--painstakingly worded, tough-minded, yet partial to mystery, and peerless when it comes to injecting larger resonances into the natural world." — Kirkus Reviews
Here, in this compelling assembly of writings, Pulitzer Prize-winning author Annie Dillard explores the world of natural facts and human meanings.
Veering away from the long, meditative studies of Pilgrim at Tinker Creek or Holy the Firm, Annie Dillard explores and celebrates moments of spirituality, dipping into descriptions of encounters with flora and fauna, stars, and more, from Ecuador to Miami.

Bad ebook creation, is this even an official release?
Essays are out of order. Title of at least one essay is wrong in the TOC. And that’s upon 30 seconds of inspection. I don’t have faith that this is the intact, entire work. Sorry for the author, whose representation should be on top of this kind of thing.
