About the Book
In The Paradise Notebooks, Richard Nevle and Steven Nightingale take us across the spectacular Sierra Nevada mountain range on a journey illuminated by incandescent poetry and fascinating fact. Over the course of twenty-one pairs of essays, Nevle and Nightingale contemplate the natural phenomena found in the Sierra Nevada. From granite, to aspen, to fire, to a rare, endemic species of butterfly, these essay pairs dwell lyrically in turn on the natural history and mystical wonder of each wild element. As they weave in vignettes from their ninety-mile backpacking trip across the range, Nevle and Nightingale powerfully reconceive the Sierra Nevada as both earthly matter and transcendental offering.
In a time of rapid environmental degradation, The Paradise Notebooks offers a way forward--a whole-minded, learned, loving attention to place that rekindles our joyful relationship with the living world.
