Into the Space and Silence

By Susan B. Eirich, Ph.D.

Wilderness is a place of dreams.

 

This collection of essays was written after the author traveled on horseback through the vast, untrammeled lands of the Muskwa-Kechika region of northern British Columbia.  The essays offer a sense of the profound peace and healing capacity of untamed nature in one of the last remaining wildlife corridors on Earth.

 

Into the Space and Silence was part of an effort to protect the Muskwa-Kechika as an integral part of the Yellowstone and Yukon wildlife corridor.

 

"Animal lover or not, you can't read Susan's writing without feeling a connection to the natural world and a sense of your own 'animalness.' Her affinity for wild animals translates into lyric descriptions of their lives and purpose on this planet we share, too often grudgingly on our part.  With lovingly rendered detail,  Dr. Eirich intimately states the case for conservation of habitats and species."
