Champion of the natural world --
Kenneth S. Norris
(1924-1998)
He considered the University of California Natural Reserve System "the most important thing I ever attempted to do." Yet his founding of the UC reserve system was just one of numerous creative expressions of a rich lifetime passionately devoted to learning and teaching about the natural world.
Now you can read about many of his other experiences and insights as a naturalist and "Professor of Natural History" in his final book, Mountain Time / Reflections on the Wild World and Our Place in It. Part memoir, part natural history, part environmental philosophy, Mountain Time is a wholly enjoyable reading experience. Readers who knew Dr. Norris as a colleague, student, or friend say they are delighted to be able to "hear" his unique voice once again.
Mountain Time / Reflections on the Wild World and Our Place in It is available from either:
 Lulu.com (paperback and electronic editions)
or --
Amazon.com (paperback edition only)

Reader's caveat: once you have met the "Professor of Wonderment," you will want to spend more time with him.
