"Till a man can judge whether they be truths or not, his understanding is but little improved, and thus men of much reading, though greatly learned, but may be little knowing."

| |  | | | In Brief
"In the fourteen pensees that make up this book {the author} bears witness, reflects on her observations of the order and disorder, the splendor andhorror of the natural world--on the awful racing shadow of the moon in a total solar eclipse, on the struggles of a tethered deer in an Amazonian Indian village unwittingly bucking its flesh to tenderness, on body-surfing with an amiable sea lion in the Galapagos Islands, on an exchange of persona with a weasel, on a Christmas Eve of long ago . . . {and} on silence." (New Yorker)
