These gripping stories contain a level of intimacy and detail not usually encountered in other styles of natural history writing. Praise for the first collection of stories: Stephen Daubert's "Threads from the Web of Life" is written in the tradition of Aldo Leopold and Bernd Heinrich.

The stories are as much enjoyable as they are informative.--"Science Booksand Films"In these sixteen stories of the interplay of organisms, weather, and geophysics, many a being succumbs to predation, and many another endures.

"Threads from the Web of Life" will appeal to any reader whose heart is in the living world.-- "ForeWord"
