Eating Stone - Ellen Meloy

Long believed to be disappearing and possibly even extinct, the Southwestern bighorn
sheep of Utah's canyonlands have made a surprising comeback. Naturalist Ellen Meloy
tracks a band of these majestic creatures through backcountry hikes, downriver floats,
and travels across the Southwest. Alone in the wilderness, Meloy chronicles her communion
with the bighorns and laments the growing severance of man from nature, a severance
that she feels has left us spiritually hungry. Wry, quirky and perceptive, Eating
Stone is a brillant and wholly original tribute to the natural world.
