SUMMARY:The Nature of the Place: On the Flora and Fauna of the Adirondacks\, by Edward Kanze
DESCRIPTION:This is a virtual program.  \nThe Nature of the Place is storied Adirondack nature writer Edward Kanze’s invitation to slow down\, smell the roses\, and get to know fellow creatures with more longstanding claims to this landscape than we have. Theirs is the real internet\, a web of life that weaves together an almost infinite number of threads into a fabric that’s a wonder to behold and something close to a miracle in a largely hostile universe. \nIn these dazzling pages\, readers meet the big charismatic animals of the Adirondacks\, the black bear and the moose. We encounter little creatures\, too\, all of which lead fascinating lives while nearly unseen: tiny fish that live in exquisite mountain streams; the infuriating and almost invisible biting insects called no-see-ums; centipedes; millipedes; and earthworms. Discover an orchid that pays a steep price for its rough treatment of bumblebees; plants so desperate for nitrogen they’ve taken to catching animals and eating them; poison-ivy and the reasons why we might want to exchange our dislike of it for love; and a common wildflower that goes through serial sex changes. Loons\, owls\, falcons\, eagles\, and songbirds pour out effusions of apparent ecstasy here\, along with much about bobcats\, foxes\, snowshoe hares\, beavers\, and flying squirrels. Snakes\, frogs\, salamanders\, and big predatory fish make appearances also\, as well as fungi that produce light in the dark\, and bacteria that manipulate the atmosphere to their own advantage\, even causing rain and snow to fall. \nThe Nature of the Place is Kanze’s love letter to his home\, the Adirondacks. Gathering materials from his decades-long column at the Adirondack Explorer and elsewhere\, extensively revised and rewritten for this book\, Kanze’s singular meditations on the flora and fauna of his home resonate far beyond his own beautiful\, beloved\, biologically vibrant neck of the woods. \nAbout The Speaker:\nEdward Kanze is an author\, naturalist\, guide\, and photographer from the Adirondack Mountains. He wrote regular columns for Adirondack Explorer and Bird Watcher’s Digest\, and his work has also appeared in Adirondack Life\, Audubon\, The Conservationist\, and many others. Kanze has been called the Adirondack “guide nonpareil” by Forbes Life magazine and was named Birder of the Year in 2017 by Bird Watcher’s Digest Magazine. \n  \n  \n
