Listening to the Earth is a powerful book of insightful reflections on the author's rapport with nature. Bob views the earth as the one stability in our lives that allows us to grasp eternal values from temporal issues. The revised essays were originally broadcast on CBC Radio, and written from his home on 80 acres in the heart of British Columbia's beautiful West Kootenays.

Bob awakens in his readers the joy of nature's mysteries. The stinging clarity of the author's philosophy, together with the wide eyed wonder and exuberance with which he describes the marvels of nature, combine to make this a thoughtful and unusual book that can be enjoyed and discussed by the entire family.

With stories of his encounters in the forest with everything from weasels to grizzly bears, Bob delights us with his ability to open our eyes to the lessons of the natural world.
