Description

The first Europeans to set foot on North America stood in awe of the natural abundance before them. The skies were filled with birds; the seas and rivers teemed with fish; and, the forests and grasslands were a hunter's dream. Fortunately for us, they left a legacy of copious records documenting what they saw, and these observations make it possible to craft a far more detailed evocation of North America before its settlement than any other place on the planet. Drawing on historical narrative and scientific inquiry, Steve Nicholls brings this spectacular environment back to life. But "Paradise Found" is much more than a celebration of what once was: it is also a reminder of how much we have lost along the way and an urgent call to action so future generations will be more responsible stewards of the world around them.
