Being Caribou: Seven Months on Foot with an Arctic Herd Cover

 

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

What begins as a wildlife research project becomes much more as the author and his wife learn to hear the earth, pay attention to their dreams and slowly change, beyond their expectations, into being caribou.

Book News Annotation:

A wildlife biologist who has worked in national parks and reserves worldwide describes his unique honeymoon in 2003. Heur and his filmmaker wife "bonded" with a caribou herd migrating to its calving grounds in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, threatened by potential oil drilling. He includes a map of the herd's winter range, color photos, further reading and resources. The film version of the book was named Best Environmental Film at a 2005 film festival.
