Book signing with author and local naturalist guide Ed Kanze
Saturday, October 4, 3–5:00 p.m.
The Bookstore Plus is pleased to host author and local naturalist guide Ed Kanze to autograph copies of his newest book, The Nature of the Place: On the Flora and Fauna of the Adirondacks.
An invitation to slow down, smell the roses, and get to know fellow creatures with more longstanding claims to this landscape than we have. Theirs is the real internet, a web of life that weaves together an almost infinite number of threads into a fabric that’s a wonder to behold and something close to a miracle in a largely hostile universe.
The Nature of the Place is Kanze’s love letter to his home, the Adirondacks. Gathering materials from his decades-long column at the Adirondack Explorer and elsewhere, extensively revised and rewritten for this book, Kanze’s singular meditations on the flora and fauna of his home resonate far beyond his own beautiful, beloved, biologically vibrant neck of the woods.
Ed Kanze is an author, naturalist, guide, and photographer from the Adirondack Mountains. He wrote regular columns for Adirondack Explorer and Bird Watcher’s Digest, and his work has also appeared in Adirondack Life, Audubon, The Conservationist, and many others. Kanze has been called the Adirondack “guide nonpareil” by Forbes Life magazine and was named Birder of the Year in 2017 by Bird Watcher’s Digest Magazine.
