Dayton Foster, who wished: "My book should smell of pines and resound with the hum of insects" is an ardent lover of the mountains and wild places. His hobby of collecting quotations from famous naturalists and others that spoke of the beauty and greatness of nature has turned into this beautiful book. Color photos throughout enhance his theme of "the web of life." For those who believe that "the city has a face, the country, a soul."
