The nearly fifty voices that Boyer recreates here cross genders, generations, and geography. They include an Ojibwe leader contemplating nuclear waste, a houseboat dweller, a woman sharing her skills in gathering edible plants, a caboose-tender, a Milwaukeean fighting urban blight-even a recluse who shoots out streetlights.\u003cbr\u003e Each of the extraordinarily varied perspectives that Boyer recreates here considers the question, How do I interact with the Earth? Each has something important to say that expands our understanding of conservation and environmentalism. \u003ci\u003eListen to the Land\u003c\/i\u003e encourages you to read a conversation or two and then go outside and start one of your own.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eDennis Boyer is author of many books, including \u003ci\u003ePrairie Whistles: Tales of Midwest Railroading\u003c\/i\u003e, and coeditor of \u003ci\u003eA Place to Which We Belong: Wisconsin Writers on Wisconsin Landscapes\u003c\/i\u003e.
