WILD with Latitude: An Ecologist's Years with Bush Bums, Anarchists, and Other Arctic Wildlife

WILD with Latitude tells the unfiltered tale of an ecologist AWOL in the far north. The author sought Thoreauvian wildness. He found it, while overwintering solo in northern Alaska. Along the way, he cavorted with extreme yet ordinary humans -- bush bums, townsfolk, and even fellow ecologists. And he confronted other charismatic creatures -- bears, muskoxen, wolves, moose, and "Earth's Best Bird." WILD celebrates his footloose, steroidal adventure.
