Hungry Hollow: The Story of a Natural Place (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9780387984155)

In a series of short, wonderfully imaginative chapters, A.K. Dewdney introduces us to the vast and intricate web that is Hungry Hollow, a seemingly ordinary stretch of river somewhere east of the Rocky Mountains. We encounter a hackberry tree that perfectly reproduces the taxonomic Tree of Life, learn how it would look and feel to shrink by stages to the size of an amoeba while swimming in a river, watch a toad win the lottery, and see the world of Hungry Hollow from the viewpoint of bears, earthworms and even stones. This is a natural history book like no other.
