Taproot: A Journal of Outdoor Education

Abstract

Like Paul Rezendes' The Wild Within: Adventures in Nature and Animal Teachings (see Taproot, summer 1999), Dan Dustin has penned a collection of essays about adventure-based outdoor recreation experiences set mostly in the context of mountains, forests, and deserts. Both authors share how nature has served to expand their awareness and understanding of life and stress the value of frequent self-reflection. Unlike Rezendes, Dustin also includes six essays suggesting that what makes life interesting "flows out of everyday pastimes" such as visiting with friends, playing games, listening to music, and enjoying good food.
