Synopsis
In The Paradise Notebooks, Richard J. 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 short 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 explore the natural history and mystical wonder of each element with a balanced and captivating touch. 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, letting us into a reality in which nature holds just as much spiritual importance as it does physical. 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. My Review This was a wonderful book. It was so unique, being part travel writings and part poetry book. It was just a magical journey to take with the authors. I loved every minute of this book. I learnt so much from reading it. The authors tell this wonderful journey of there families travels through the Sierra Nevada. This story includes the science and Geology of the area along with the flora and fauna. Then there is the element of poetry inspired by the surroundings. It was an amazing experience to read and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I would definitely recommend this book to all those who love travelling from the comfort of their armchairs. Also those who love poetry of nature and natural surroundings. I will be looking out for more books by these authors. So much praise goes out to the authors and publishers for creating this magical emotive journey through the Sierra Navada.
