The acclaimed National Book Award winner gives us a collection of spellbinding new essays that, read together, form a jigsaw-puzzle portrait of an extraordinary man. With the publication of his best-selling Of Wolves and Men, and with the astonishing originality of Arctic Dreams, Barry Lopez established himself as that rare writer whose every book is an event, for both critics and his devoted readership. Now, in About This Life, he takes us on a literal and figurative journey across the terrain of autobiography, assembling essays of great wisdom and insight. Here is far-flung travel (the beauty of remote Hokkaido Island, the over-explored Gal pagos, enigmatic Bonaire); a naturalist's contention (Why does our society inevitably strip political power from people with intimate knowledge of the land small-scale farmers, Native Americans, Eskimos, cowboys?); and pure adventure (a dizzying series of around-the-world journeys with air freight everything from penguins to pianos). And here, too, are seven exquisite memory pieces hauntingly lyrical yet unsentimental recollections that represent Lopez's most personal work to date, and which will be read as classics of the personal essay for years to come. In writing about nature and people from around the world, by exploring the questions of our age, and, above all, by sharing a new openness about himself, Barry Lopez gives us a book that is at once vastly erudite yet intimate: a magically written and provocative work by a major American writer at the top of his form.Binding Type: Paperback

Skip the bag- Keep the lotions!
The lotions are amazing and have been using for about ten yrs. If you want a tan and not peeling use these. HOWEVER, this order i decided to get the bag for easier carrying and these bottles don’t fit.. kinda ridiculous

You don’t look like Casper the ghost!
Color: 25 Sun Protection Factor (SPF)
A really nice clean sunscreen a little goes a long way. I just used it on my face and love the fact that it didn’t turn it completely white. It’s quite sheer protective and hydrating.

Love This Sunscreen!
Color: 25 Sun Protection Factor (SPF), Color: 25 Sun Protection Factor (SPF)
I’m really impressed with this sunscreen! Great consistency, lightweight, and easy to apply without feeling greasy or heavy on the skin. It doesn’t leave a white cast, which can be hard to find with mineral formulas. I also love that it’s made with natural ingredients, which makes me feel good about using it. Definitely will buy again!
