Purchase options and add-ons

Twenty brief, witty, thoughtful essays about nature. Whether Jake Page writes about his own homemade backyard pond, the uncertain future of horseshoe crabs, the persistence of starlings, disappearing seashores, threatened rain forests, the death of a baby chimney swift, or the vocalization of songbirds, he's telling us about the reality of things―about ourselves and our world: how life evolves and interacts, how ponds gradually support an ecosystem, how birds migrate, how animals communicate.
Page asks questions and gives answers with the curiosity and the insight of a scientist. Any reader will come away with fresh insights about the world outside.

Reviewed in the United States on February 1, 2015
When the publisher asked me to provide a pre-pub review of this wonderful compilation of Jake's genius I was too flabbergasted to respond. Whom was I to comment on the work of the greatest naturalist-essayist I had ever interacted with? I think Jake might have thought I wasn't impressed when it was the opposite, in spades, that promulgated my silence. To all, I can't recommend Jake's essays more than to say he deserves even much more attention. He is marvelous.

5.0 out of 5 stars Soul Songs
Reviewed in the United States on December 23, 1997
I was looking for information on bird songs when I came across this book in the library. In Jake's essays, I found not only "Songs to Birds" but essays that resonated with my soul. Jakes is a fabulous essayist, and balances a love of nature with a dash of reality. He also helps us to see the bigger picture of living a life of meaning. I would highly recommend this book to anyone who loves birds, or who just loves great essayists.
