| book description |

A journey through the wilds of nature and the twists and turns of daily life with an icon of the North Woods - now in paperbackâ€‹ Wait, young Douglasâ€™s grandfather says as the bobber twitches on the surface of Little Lake. Be patient. And so begins an encounter with the wonder and promise of nature that will last a lifetime. Deep Woods, Wild Waters traces the winding path that carried Douglas Wood from one marvel to the next, through a landscape of rocks, woods, and waters, with stops along the way for questions and reflections that link human nature to the larger mysteries of the natural world. Like life itself, the authorâ€™s way is not linear. One landmark leads back to a favorite campsite, another prompts him to consider the â€œgospel of rocks,â€ another launches him into the wilderness beyond the stars - a contemplation of time and space and humanityâ€™s place in all of it. The creator of thirty-four books, including the classic Old Turtle, and an expert woodsman and wilderness canoe guide, Wood brings all his storytelling and bushwhacking skills to bear as he takes us hurtling down wild rapids, crossing stormy lakes, or simply navigating the treacherous currents and twisty trails of everyday life. A warm, generous, and knowing guide, Wood maps a journey that, as he says, â€œanyone can take, through a landscape anyone can know.â€ Turning the pages, hiking the portages, running the rapids, or scanning the wild country from a high promontory, he invites us to say, in a soul-satisfying moment of recognition, â€œI know that place.â€
