Dawn Light: Dancing with Cranes and Other Ways to Start the Day

A celebrated storyteller-poet-naturalist explores a year of dawns in her most personal book to date.
In an eye-opening sequence of personal meditations through the cycle of seasons, Diane Ackerman awakens us to the world at dawnâ€•drawing on sources as diverse as meteorology, world religion, etymology, art history, poetry, organic farming, and beekeeping. As a patient and learned observer of animal and human physiology and behavior, she introduces us to varieties of bird music and other signs of avian intelligence, while she herself â€œmigratesâ€ from winter in Florida to spring, summer, and fall in upstate New York.

Humans might luxuriate in the idea of being â€œinâ€ nature, Ackerman points out, but we often forget that we are natureâ€•for â€œno facet of nature is as unlikely as we, the tiny bipeds with the giant dreams.â€ Joining scienceâ€™s devotion to detail with religionâ€™s appreciation of the sublime, Dawn Light is an impassioned celebration of the miracles of evolutionâ€•especially human consciousness of our numbered days on a turning earth. 8 pages of color
