A Conversation with the Earth is a book about nature and the world around us. More, it is a book about the appreciation of nature and the world around us. It is one man’s way of sharing experiences and ideas, thoughts and dreams pertaining to animals and rocks, birds and whales, landscapes and seascapes. It is about the music of the land and the ocean. The opus of the waves. The drama and the beauty of the forest. This is a book about the poetry of the land.

Magical. Sensual. Fun. Inspiring and inviting. This is a book about fly-fishing and mountain climbing, scuba diving and beachcombing. It is about food and music and the gratitude of sight and sound, taste and touch.

I’m left with the feeling of regret that I’m not still a young boy who could be spellbound by your passion for life on land and sea and be guided by that passion throughout the rest of my life. I’m also envious of your deep appreciation of life’s creatures and your highly keen observations of their descriptions and habitats. Wonderment exudes throughout the manuscript and it’s infectious.

–Paul Samuelson, author of Night Fear
