Summaries and Reviews
Amazon.com description: Product Description: Some of our most exciting and gratifying moments are spent observing nature. And some of our greatest writers have conveyed the drama of the natural world through their writings.

The Red Wasteland is Bruce Brooks's personal selection of the world's most interesting and revealing nature writing. Juxtaposing the cool dispassion of a scientist who writes about being mauled by a hyena with the engaged curiosity of J. H. Fabre and the awed reverence of Edward Abbey, Brooks shows young readers how nature writing has changed over the years.

Bruce Brooks received Newbery Honors for two of his novels. He is also a passionate bird watcher who won an Orbis Pictus Honor for a book on animal perception and communication. Now, Brooks brings together his two great loves in one amazing anthology.
