| Summary |
On the Loose is a chronicle of triumph and tragedy--the triumph of gaining an insight about oneself through an understanding of the natural world; the tragedy of seeing the splendor of that world increasingly threatened by men who don't know or don't care. The color photographs--and a few in black and white--tell of beautiful moments at Point Reyes, Yosemite, the High Sierra, the Great Basin, Glen Canyon, and in a few backyards. The text is augmented by Terry's careful selections from Mark Twain, James Joyce, Thoreau, Walter De la Mare, George Bernard Shaw, Aldo Leopold, Bernard de Voto and Steve McQueen. With painstaking care, Terry and Renny Russell have produced a subtle magnificence in On the Loose--a book you will be pleased to own and perhaps even more pleased to give--to the young who will understand, and to their elders who will always be trying to.
