This descriptive meditation on the smaller world of the forest floor is a magical revelation of the changing variety through the seasons. Haskell chooses a square meter patch in a Tennessee old-growth forest and records the delicate balance of ecology that he finds there, plants, animals and insects. This quiet narration is bursting with new facts and observations that will have you looking down more often that up. A beautiful book.
