Reviews
"One of our jobs in this hard moment for the planet is to bear witness to that which lives alongside us--especially those glories that seem most likely to pass in our time. This volume is a lovely example of performing that uniquely human duty faithfully." Bill McKibben, author of Radio Free Vermont "Arvidson paints ten lovely portraits of species clinging to a toehold in Minnesota. His scientific explanation is lucid, his use of language is exquisite, and when he readjusts his focus to give readers the big picture, he is eloquent and wise." Sue Leaf, author of Portage: A Family, a Canoe, and the Search for the Good Life "You don't need to be a Minnesota native or resident to appreciate this quirky and often beautiful quest to see--and know--every endangered species in the state. From iconic wolves to something called the 'winged mapleleaf' (and, no, it's not a plant), this book takes you across landscapes, eons, and emotions as it ground-truths what our relationships to the wild and rare really mean. You'll meet a lot of dedicated, sometimes eccentric biologists whose work quietly helps keep this world together. You'll meet Adam Arvidson, too, a welcome guide to the Upper Midwest's strength, beauty, and fragility. His voice--and memories--compass this delightful and necessary collection of essays." Christopher Cokinos, author of Hope Is the Thing with Feathers: A Personal Chronicle of Vanished Birds "Adam Arvidson writes a complicated story with clarity, beautiful language, and a personal touch that invites the reader to travel with him." Kathleen Weflen, editor emerita, Minnesota Conservation Volunteer, "One of our jobs in this hard moment for the planet is to bear witness to that which lives alongside us--especially those glories that seem most likely to pass in our time.

Synopsis
The elusive Canada lynx bears kittens in Minnesota's northeastern woods. In the far southeastern part of the state, the succulent Leedy's roseroot clings to cold cliffs. On the northwestern grasslands, the western prairie fringed orchid grows only on ancient glacial beach ridges. In the rivers of the Twin Cities metro area, the snuffbox mussel snaps on a fish's nose to give its larvae a temporary home. These species and fifteen others living in Minnesota are on the federal Endangered Species List. Adam Regn Arvidson, a talented science reporter and genial guide, uncovers the stories of these plants and animals, providing compelling views of the state's northern pine forest, deciduous forest, and prairie landscapes. Readers learn how beach driving in Texas affects Minnesota's northernmost bird; how ranchers feel about prairie minnows; how urban runoff affects rivers and therefore mussels; how the wolf ended up in court. Scientists, orchid-hounds, lawyers, and nature lovers weigh in on the value and benefit of rare species-and their right to exist. This book is an entertaining and educational journey through Minnesota's diverse landscapes, one wild and rare inhabitant at a time., Compelling stories of Minnesota's endangered species, the landscapes that nurture them, and the people who are discovering their secrets.

- v***v (2054)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseAlthough this book was not as described, with no picture of it in the listing, the seller communicated well and quickly gave me a full refund while letting me keep it. The minimal packaging left the book a bit vulnerable (typical for ThriftBooks), but it did arrive safely and timely. As usual, it’s hit or miss with this seller, but often times you can get great values, and their customer service is always very good. Many other sellers with millions of transactions don’t even communicate.
