of you has recommended "Beyond the Outer Shores: The Untold
Odyssey of Ed Ricketts, the Pioneering Ecologist who Inspired
John Steinbeck and Joseph Campbell" in the last years? If I
recall correctly it was Eric. I like the book. Since then I am
looking for good books which are similar. '</span></p>

<p>I don't remember if I specifically recommended it in this forum
but I have read it and do often recommend it. <br>
</p>
<p>I'm not sure which values of "similar" move you, but by
extension, reading Steinbeck's "<i>Log of the Sea of Cortez</i>"
is quite apt and expands one's appreciation for Ricketts.<br>
</p>
<p>Ian Frasiers "<i>Siberia</i>" comes to mind as does anything of
Barry Lopez (<i>Arctic Dreams</i> in particular)</p>
<p>Rachel Carson's 1951 "<i>under the Sea</i>" (author of <i>Silent
Spring</i>) and 1955 "The Edge of the Sea"... <br>
</p>
<p>I recently finished Colin Fletcher's "<i>The Man Who Walked
Through Time</i>", an account of his traversal of the Grand
Canyon in the 1950s.</p>
<p>"<i>Goodbye to a River</i>" is a 1960 memoir by<b> </b>John
Graves of his 175 mile trip down the Brazos river in TX on the
cusp of various dam constructions.</p>
<p>And then there is Ed Abbey.</p>

<p>Thanks for the reference to Sonke' Johnsen's work... <br>

I'm reading in the Libby app which allows me to read books
from the library online "Into the Great Wide Ocean: Life in
the Least Known Habitat on Earth" by Sönke Johnsen. Did you
know that many living beings in the open ocean are transparent
unlike the animals in coastal waters? Sönke describes how they
find food to eat and avoid being eaten</span></p>
