Product Information
What does it mean to know a place? What might we learn about the world by returning to the same place year after year? What would a long-term record of such visits tell us about change and permanence and our place in the natural world? This collection explores these and related questions through a series of reflective essays and poems on Pennsylvania's Shaver's Creek landscape from the past decade. Collected as part of The Ecological Reflections Project--a century-long effort to observe and document changes to the natural world in the central Pennsylvanian portion of the Appalachian Forest--these pieces show how knowledge of a place comes from the information and perceptions we gather from different perspectives over time. They include Marcia Bonta's keen observations about how humans knowingly and unknowingly affect the landscape; Scott Weidensaul's view of the forest as a battlefield; and Katie Fallon describing the sounds of human and nonhuman life along a trail. Together, these selections create a place-based portrait of a vivid ecosystem during the first decade of the twenty-first century. Featuring contributions by nationally known nature writers and local experts, Reading Shaver's Creek is a unique, complex depiction of the central Pennsylvania landscape and its ecology. We know the land and creatures of places such as Shaver's Creek are bound to change throughout the century. This book is the first step to documenting how. In addition to the editor, contributors to this volume are Marcia Bonta, Michael P. Branch, Todd Davis, Katie Fallon, David Gessner, Hannah Inglesby, John Lane, Carolyn Mahan, Jacy Marshall-McKelvey, Steven Rubin, David Taylor, Julianne Lutz Warren, and Scott Weidensaul.

Reviews
" Reading Shaver's Creek is an inspirational contribution to the growing genre of multivoiced, place-oriented community writing projects, sometimes called 'deep maps.' Its blend of environmental history, ecological understanding, and literary flair is all seasoned with a healthy love of place, whether that place is thought of as an out-of-the-way valley in the Allegheny Mountains or the whole of planet Earth." --Tom Lynch, Coeditor of Thinking Continental: Writing the Planet One Place at a Time, "What a pleasure to wander with some of America's finest environmental writers along the ferny edges of a Pennsylvania stream--to listen to birdsong with their educated ears, to see the stony past and stormy future through their discerning eyes, to explore the brambles and branches of their marvelous minds. Like Walden , Reading Shaver's Creek is testimony to the power of creative attention to a special place, and a rollicking good read." --Kathleen Dean Moore,author of Great Tide Rising: Towards Clarity and Moral Courage in a Time of Planetary Change and Piano Tide, "What a pleasure to wander with some of America's finest environmental writers along the ferny edges of a Pennsylvania stream--to listen to birdsong with their educated ears, to see the stony past and stormy future through their discerning eyes, to explore the brambles and branches of their marvelous minds. Like Walden , Reading Shaver's Creek is testimony to the power of creative attention to a special place, and a rollicking good read." --Kathleen Dean Moore, author of Great Tide Rising: Towards Clarity and Moral Courage in a Time of Planetary Change and Piano Tide, "Visit Shaver's Creek. Observe. Write. Like exquisite footprints meandering along a muddy shore, the 'best of' pieces in this ten-year compendium track the fascinating merging of mind and matter, words and wildness, people and place. After reading these reflections by scientists, local writers, and visiting authors, Shaver's Creek has become meaningful-and even a little magical-to me, and I hope that this book will inspire similar long-term ecological reflections projects in other special places." -Cheryll Glotfelty, coeditor of The Bioregional Imagination: Literature, Ecology, and Place, " Reading Shaver's Creek is an inspirational contribution to the growing genre of multivoiced, place-oriented community writing projects, sometimes called 'deep maps.' Its blend of environmental history, ecological understanding, and literary flair is all seasoned with a healthy love of place, whether that place is thought of as an out-of-the-way valley in the Allegheny Mountains or the whole of planet Earth." -Tom Lynch, Coeditor of Thinking Continental: Writing the Planet One Place at a Time, "This book can serve well as a model for nature centers or writers who may wish to explore a place and document that exploration. It also makes an excellent text for courses in environmental writing and environmental studies, English literature courses that focus on nature, or parks and recreation courses interested in how visitors experience a nature center, park, or natural area." -D.

Now the Ecological Reflections Project has brought this approach to the eastern Appalachians. Over the next one hundred years, accomplished writers will experience and reflect on place, and this lively book samples the project's first decade. Brimming with beautiful insights, stories, and meditations, it will inspire anyone who loves the way wood, stone, wind, and water speak to the human spirit." --John Tallmadge,author of The Cincinnati Arch: Learning from Nature in the City, "What a pleasure to wander with some of America's finest environmental writers along the ferny edges of a Pennsylvania stream--to listen to birdsong with their educated ears, to see the stony past and stormy future through their discerning eyes, to explore the brambles and branches of their marvelous minds.
