Summary

"In a collection of gripping stories of adventure, bestselling author Doug Peacock--loner, iconoclast, environmentalist, and contemporary of Edward Abbey--reflects on a life lived in the wild, reflecting on the question many ask in their twilight years: 'Was It Worth It?' With adventures both close to home (grizzlies in Yellowstone, jaguars in the high Sonoran Desert) and farther afield (tigers in Siberia, spirit bears in British Columbia, the amazing birds of the Galápagos), Peacock acknowledges that Covid 19 has put 'everyone's mortality in the lense now and it's not necessarily a telephoto shot.' Peacock recounts these adventures to explain his perspective on Nature: That wilderness is the only thing left worth saving"--Page [4] of cover
