Prairyerth: A Deep Map - William Least Heat Moon

\nNEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER. By the author of Blue Highways, PrairyErth is a majestic survey of land and time and people in a single county of the Kansas plains (Hungry Mind Review). \n \nWilliam Least Heat-Moon travels by car and on foot into the core of our continent, focusing on the landscape and history of Chase County -- a sparsely populated tallgrass prairie in the Flint Hills of central Kansas -- exploring its land, plants, animals, and people until this small place feels as large as the universe. \n \nCalled a modern-day Walden by the Chicago Sun-Times, PrairyErth is a journey through place, through time, and into the human mind from the acclaimed author of Here, There, Elsewhere: Stories from the Road. \n \nA sense of the American grain that will give [PrairyErth] a permanent place in the literature of our country. -- Paul Theroux, New York Times
