Notes and Musings about the origins of this book, about endangered species, about non-fiction and fiction for young readers, about writing, and reading.
The Chiru of High Tibet is a true gripping story of how scientist George Schaller and four mountain men set out to save the chiru (antelope-like creatures who cannot survive captivity and who live on the high plains of Tibet) from near extinction. (from the publisher)
This journal will be informed by the author's travel in Tibet, will
include reminiscences of that time, connections to Tibet, chiru, reading,
writing, travel--or staying at home. Visit the author's website at www.jacquelinebriggsmartin.com.
It's all about process, whether it's story building or housebuilding. That's why I love this story about a man who loves wood and has spent thirty years whittling his own house. He's not done, but he loves the process.
