The Pine Island Paradox by Kathleen Dean Moore

A gifted storyteller with a sly sense of humor, Moore engages the reader with tales about her family and natural encounters on wilderness excursions or within the fences of her backyard. She writes about thousands of shrimp visible at the ebb tide, fungi her botanist father cultivated in the family refrigerator, her daughterís night in jail, bad weather, grouse dancing on their lek, and the haunting noteóthe augmented fourthóheard in the call of a loon, the howl of a wolf, and sacred music. In essays full of rich surface detail, she weaves arguments about the hidden connections that bind the world. She speaks for an environmental ethic of caring that extends from our families to the special places we experience with them, a borderless zone of affection that embraces the human and natural world.

For Moore, the way we choose to live our lives speaks for a kinship that belies ìthe miserable, lonely world enlightenment philosophers have mapped out for us to live in.î Engaging thinkers past and present (among them Descartes, Hume, Mill, William James, Aldo Leopold, and Thoreau), she focuses on the way our worldóthe one we live in everydayógives us opportunities to create moral synapses, to find the integrity that links our backyard garden to a wilderness area and everything in between.
