"a literary journey . . . with life-affirming energy", August 10, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: The Last Wild Edge: One Woman's Journey from the Arctic Circle to the Olympic Rain Forest (Paperback)
From a review by Kathryn Eastburn that appeared in the Colorado Springs Independent: "Throughout The Last Wild Edge, Zwinger carefully balances personal, political and cosmic concerns, utilizing language that straddles the confines of science and poetry. This is a dense but elegant book, rich with physical detail and swarming with universal themes that can't be contained on the page. The nature of exploration itself emerges as a theme, along with a firm, earthbound appreciation of the wild coast of North America. Zwinger skillfully mixes her extensive knowledge of the natural world with a palpable hunger for new experience. The result is a literary journey that pulsates with life-affirming energy, carrying the reader both to the edge of the continent and to the inner depths of the author's curious, passionate soul."
