Horizon Audible Audio Edition Barry Lopez James Naughton Random House Audio Books Reviews


  • Fantastic narratives that may well surpass the work of "Arctic Dreams." 30 years in the making. Written in the beautiful style Lopez's readers have come to know and admire since the 1970s. Read it, and then give copies to your loved ones and best friends.
  • This book strikes me as lazy, which may be unfair on my part. The author re visits many locations he has written about in the past. You need to be a very serious Barry Lopez can to enjoy this book. It is somewhere between an autobiography and a greatest hits collecton.
  • A defining work of our beloved mature and brilliant observer. Precise, penetrating and contemplative.
    More reflective and accepting yet piercing and articulate! A thoughtful and provocative work of distilled wisdom.
  • I loved “Of Wolves and Men”, “Arctic Dreams”, “Crow and Weasel”, and “Homeground”. And there is some very beautifully descriptive and thoughtful writing in this book. But in this age of accelerating climate change which Lopez acknowledges, we can no longer afford the luxury of all the travel he writes about. I worry that it will encourage too many others to follow his lead. The latest IPCC report says we have to reduce our climate change gas output 45% in the next 10 years. An almost impossible task, especially so if the rate of airline travel keeps growing at its current rate. I prefer books more grounded in one particular area that are descriptive and thoughtful about those areas. As Gary Snyder said “The most radical thing you can do is to stay home.” And learn the details there, dig into the work, build community, and praise the beauty there.
  • This is a tremendous book. Lopez in a pensive, troubled, self-critical, or perhaps better phrased, a self-questioning mood. What is it to travel? What does the traveller learn, take away, and importantly what does he or she take along with them? I can't recall a book in recent years that I've been this immersed in.
  • Fluffy travel memoir at best.
