Cape Cod's vast outer coast, named The Great Beach by Henry David Thoreau, is little changed since the Pilgrim's first landfall almost 350 years ago. Today a plane can skim its fifty miles in a matter of seconds, and in the summer bathing areas are so crowded with cars and people they take on a continental flavor. But the long, desolate, windswept stretches can still be found, and the National Park Service has been taking steps to preserve the original character of the beach and its rolling dunes back from the water, designating it a National Seashore.
Inspired by an amazing true story, this is a heart-warming tale about a little owl found in a family's Christmas tree.

"Joy Hay is one of our very best essayists on the natural world, and The Bird of Light is a fine example of his work."-Peter Matthiessen
Through the distillation of a lifetime of experiences, John Hay describes in The Undiscovered Country his quiet, profound search for our place in the natural world. In considering snails, alewives, terns, woodland moths, and other forms of natural life, Hay shares with his readers a discovery that few have experienced and no one has written about so eloquently. The sensitivity and poetic beauty of John Hay's writing will come as no surprise to the readers of The Run, The Great Beach (winner of the John Burroughs award), and the other books for which he is recognized as one of our finest naturalist writers.
Focusing on nature as inseparable from the deepest human experience, this book argues that scientific advances cannot substitute for the life of nature.
