The Book of Roads and Kingdoms

'Fidler’s prose is lively and entertaining; he has a great affection for his subject and often describes it in a way that makes it seem magical.' (on Ghost Empire) -- Library Journal 'Fidler displays great charm in the telling of his tale, spicing it with delicious gossip.' (on Ghost Empire) -- The New York Times Book Review 'While Fidler taught science for 31 years, he’s never bound by jargon or dry abstraction. He joyfully mixes science with personal anecdotes, poetry (his own) and will “freely use the word love,” to talk about nature.' (on Out of the Corner of Your Eye) -- Tom Springer, author of The Star in the Sycamore and Looking for Hickories 'Spend time with this book. It will encourage you to venture into the wilderness of your own backyard and more fully experience the countless marvels that are always there, ready to amaze us.' (on Out of the Corner of Your Eye) -- Tim Mulherin, author of Sand, Stars, Wind, & Water: Field Notes from Up North
