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, \u003ci\u003eEating Stone\u003c\/i\u003e is a brillant and wholly original tribute to the natural world.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eELLEN MELOY, \u003c\/b\u003e a recipient of a Whit-ing Foundation Award in 1997, was a native of the West and lived in California, Montana, and Utah.
