RaveThe New York Times Book ReviewWet and salty ... A sensuous book, more felt than described, more described than explained, more painted than penned: part memoir, part journal and...part natural mystery tour ... Stowe’s book is at its best when recounting her travails and triumphs in the first person.
Peter Godfrey-Smith
RaveThe New York Times Book ReviewIf this is philosophy, it works, because Godfrey-Smith is a rare philosopher who searches the world for clues. Knowledgeable and curious, he examines, he admires. His explorations are good-natured. He is never dogmatic, yet startlingly incisive. His refreshing guidance invites us, allowing breathing room, to consider, occasionally to respectfully disagree.
