Winner of the 2014 Orion Book Award for NonfictionWinner of the John Burroughs Association 2014 Medal for Distinguished Natural History BookWith her poet s eye and naturalist s affinity for wild places, Kathleen Jamie reports from the field in this enthralling collection of fourteen essays whose power derives from the stubborn attention she pays to everything around her. Jamie roams her native Scottish byways and hills and sails north to encounter whalebones and icebergs. Interweaving personal history with her scrutiny of landscape, Jamie dissects whatever her gaze falls upon from vistas of cells beneath a hospital microscope, to orcas rounding a headland, to the aurora borealis lighting up the frozen sea. Written with precision, subtlety, and wry humor, "Sightlines" urges us to Keep looking. Keep looking, even when there s nothing much to see. "
