We need, he writes, to take a more active role in protecting such places, "to participate, to plunge our hands into the consonant and sometimes poignant beauty, the authentic living and dying, that remain on the planet." Some readers will find his views on blood sports controversial, to be sure. The collection is a mixed bag, with the strongest pieces drawing on Kerasote's varied experiences in the wild--mostly in the northern Rocky Mountains, but as far afield as Chile (during the Pinochet coup) and the Himalayan kingdom of Bhutan. 1627739 1997 Heart of Home: People, Wildlife, Place total:5|5:0|4:1|3:0|2:0|1:1| 5 18 12 2 1633547 1592280943 9781592280940 5 2 3.60 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1186141686m/1633547.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1633547.Heart_of_Home_People_Wildlife_Place 5 0 false Thu Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 1998 Mon Mar 23 18:58:57 -0700 2009 Mon Mar 23 19:03:57 -0700 2009 more...]]> 1633547 1592280943 9781592280940 5 2 3.60 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1186141686m/1633547.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1633547.Heart_of_Home_People_Wildlife_Place 1 0 false Fri Oct 16 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Mon Apr 13 15:33:42 -0700 2009 Tue Dec 01 03:19:31 -0800 2009 1633547 1592280943 9781592280940 5 2 3.60 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1186141686m/1633547.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1633547.Heart_of_Home_People_Wildlife_Place 0 0 false Sun Dec 06 18:35:55 -0800 2009 Sun Dec 06 18:35:55 -0800 2009 1633547 1592280943 9781592280940 5 2 3.60 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1186141686m/1633547.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1633547.Heart_of_Home_People_Wildlife_Place 0 0 false Sat Dec 05 09:33:54 -0800 2009 Sat Dec 05 09:33:54 -0800 2009 1633547 1592280943 9781592280940 5 2 3.60 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1186141686m/1633547.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1633547.Heart_of_Home_People_Wildlife_Place 4 0 false Fri Oct 09 22:14:07 -0700 2009 Fri Oct 09 22:14:07 -0700 2009 1633547 1592280943 9781592280940 5 2 3.60 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1186141686m/1633547.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1633547.Heart_of_Home_People_Wildlife_Place 4 0 false Thu May 21 14:05:12 -0700 2009 Mon May 18 10:02:01 -0700 2009 Thu May 21 14:05:12 -0700 2009 1633547 1592280943 9781592280940 5 2 3.60 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1186141686m/1633547.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1633547.Heart_of_Home_People_Wildlife_Place 0 0 false Thu May 14 19:13:04 -0700 2009 Thu May 14 19:13:04 -0700 2009 1633547 1592280943 9781592280940 5 2 3.60 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1186141686m/1633547.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1633547.Heart_of_Home_People_Wildlife_Place 0 0 false Thu May 07 18:50:11 -0700 2009 Thu May 07 18:50:11 -0700 2009 1633547 1592280943 9781592280940 5 2 3.60 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1186141686m/1633547.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1633547.Heart_of_Home_People_Wildlife_Place 0 0 false Wed Apr 22 12:31:19 -0700 2009 Wed Apr 22 12:31:19 -0700 2009 1633547 1592280943 9781592280940 5 2 3.60 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1186141686m/1633547.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1633547.Heart_of_Home_People_Wildlife_Place 0 0 false Thu Apr 16 06:55:09 -0700 2009 Thu Apr 16 06:55:09 -0700 2009 1633547 1592280943 9781592280940 5 2 3.60 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1186141686m/1633547.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1633547.Heart_of_Home_People_Wildlife_Place 4 0 false Wed Mar 19 20:57:11 -0700 2008 Wed Mar 19 20:57:19 -0700 2008 1633547 1592280943 9781592280940 5 2 3.60 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1186141686m/1633547.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1633547.Heart_of_Home_People_Wildlife_Place 0 0 false Fri Feb 08 20:38:55 -0800 2008 Fri Feb 08 20:38:55 -0800 2008 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=1633547
