His solo expedition  recounted in Walking Home  is filled with the awe and danger of being on ones own in the wild  being battered by the elements and even  for two harrowing days  becoming the terrified quarry of a grizzly bear.  But the formidable  lonely landscape is also rich with human stories-of trappers  explorers  marooned sailors  and hermits  as well as the myths of the regions Tlingit Indians. Relating his journey  Schooler creates a conversation between the human and the natural  the past and the present  to investigate-on a remote and uninhabited shore-what it means to be not only part of natures wild web  but also a member of a human community in the flow of history.  Lynn Schooler is the critically acclaimed author of The Blue Bear and The Last Shot. He has lived in Alaska for almost forty years  working as a commercial fisherman  shipwright  wilderness guide  and award-winning wildlife photographer.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44960133808181,"sku":"ByrdShop_1608194647","price":73.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781608194643.jpg?v=1770392029","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/walking-home-a-traveler-in-the-alaskan-wilderness-a-journey-into-the-human-heart","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
