About this audiobook
A new book out Tuesday, "Racing the Clock: Running Across a Lifetime,"
explores a life of scientific research and discovery in nature, and some
extraordinary feats of the human body. And the author himself, Bernd
Heinrich, is the subject of both. Jeffrey Brown went deep into the woods of
Maine for our story. It's part of our arts and culture series, CANVAS.
