Description	Naturalist Doug Thorpe reads from "Rapture of the Deep" a winner of the David Family Environmental Book Award. Thorpe's book explores the relationship between our minds and the great world outside us -- "the wild truth" as he calls it. Bill McKibben wrote, "Thorpe helps us understand what Thoreau meant when he said that in wilderness is the preservation of the world." And Scott Cairns, author of "Short Trip to the Edge" wrote, "Doug Thorpe has thought deeply -- as he has trekked deeply -- into the terra incognita where lies the intersection of the phenomenal and the supposed pre-phenomenal, understanding that language itself is the surest tool whereby the pilgrim might discover those traces joining what is visible and what is not, a disposition more likely than most for apprehending revelation."
