It is also a book about the resilience of life itself, the mystery and power of the unseen energy appearing in the visible world in a marvelous variety of forms.\" -Audubon Naturalist News\"Here is Mr. Peattie at his superb best. . . . [H]e makes the story of botany and its pursuit as fascinating to the reader as it is to him, and the reading of it a delight.\" -Hartford Times\"[Peattie] belongs with Gilbert White, Thoreau, John Burroughs, W.
