4.0 out of 5 starsGlimpses into Quetico
By KoutaR on June 1, 2013
Format: Paperback
This is an easy-to-read book on Quetico Provincial Park, Ontario, written for a general reader. It is not a paddling guidebook. Neither is it a comprehensive guide to the nature of the park. However, the author's style to concentrate on some interesting topics probably works well for an average reader.

Part 1 is about the glacial and human history of the region. In part 2, the author introduces five glacial-historically, culturally, botanically and ecologically interesting places in the park. Part 3 provides pieces of the animal and plant world, some of which are rather general (e.g. symbiosis).

Common plant and animal names are used throughout the book. There is no table for the Latin names. There are a lot of color photos; the photos show the subjects under discussion, not beautiful lake vistas. A few maps are included, e.g. a general park map with the names of the most important lakes, and maps of glacier locations at different times.

5.0 out of 5 starsThis year's Christmas present for all my friends and family!
By Martha Mcmanus on August 25, 2009
Format: Paperback
I first paddled into Quetico Park, north of Minnesota's BWCA, when I was at camp before 9th grade. In the many years since then I have returned to this Ontario Park as it is truly as Jon Nelson describes 'Nature's Heart'. Nelson's book takes the reader back to Ice Age formations and the earliest inhabitants, on through first nations guardians of the land, voyageurs and those of us who paddle and portage into the home of current dwellers including 4 leggeds, those who crawl, swim and fly. Quetico- Near to Nature's Heart is a beautiful, informative and exciting read. This is my gift to friends and family this year for Christmas! I know that many of my friends have not been in Quetico Park but the rich and powerful view of North America's land and people is insightful to all of us who want to move beyond driving the freeways to experiencing the land, lichens, loons and the spirituality of our land.

Excellent description and photos of Quetico. Enjoyed reviewing it before giving it to someone who is more familiar with the area and loves it.

5.0 out of 5 starsQuetico Rocks!
By KCmark on April 19, 2012
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
Having been to the Quetico on week-long canoe trips, I had many questions about the history, flora, fauna, geology, First People, etc. This book, brilliantly written, ties all of these diverse field together in an amazing way. Who knew about the life of the small mammals in the tunnels beneath the winter snow? Or the teaming agreements that the parks personnel have the First People? Or how the area went from glaciers to forests?
