Excerpt
"I have wanted to write this book almost from the first day I saw the University of Idaho Taylor Ranch Field Station back in the mid-1980s, but felt it would be too presumptuous of me to attempt to describe the incredible beauty and history of this unique place. I waited for years for someone to write the story, but the scientists were all too busy, and the poets never got around to it, so it was left to me, neither a scientist nor a poet." -- Pat Cary Peek, from the Introduction
