This book deserved the award. I enjoyed finally reading a decent piece of literature that wasn't overly simplified. Having a science and English background, I enjoyed the references to the mind and how it works. Also his interest in the Sandhill Cranes. His quotes were from books that I have read and have on my shelf. Even the "Who is Sylvia?" reference. I sang it at one time. Great literature.
