Listen to the Land: Conservation Conversations is a collection of conversations with people about the environment and conservation. The author, Dennis Boyer, was inspired to write this book after years of conversations with ordinary people and their thoughts on how they interact with the Earth. The perspectives are as varied as the people the author has talked to…farmers, loggers, tribal leaders, rural and urban dwellers, and more. Listen to the Land encourages the reader to consider his or her own interaction with the environment. Published by University of Wisconsin Press; Non-fiction; Paper.
