National Book Award winner Barry Lopez treks through the American Southwest and Alaska, discovering new meanings in both the world of nature - geese flying, wolf tracks - and the world of humans - artifacts of lost cultures. The land and humans, he believes, share a strong spiritual bond that echoes and impacts the universe's great rhythm of life.

Elegantly told against a haunting melodic backdrop, Crossing Open Ground's brilliant descriptions will sweep you into a new perspective - the land both gives us strength and molds our souls. Perceptive and poetic, these essays chart a course vital to our sense of place, to our well-being and to our survival.

Again I finished a book by Barry Lopez and narrated by him.
His books are absolutely unmatched.
This one narrated by himself, interspersed with Native American flute music, which in itself is so beautiful and such an art.
I have a flute myself and love to play, although not near as good as I wish.
Needless to say that I HIGHLY recommend listening.

My thanks to all involved for making this book available, JK.
