"You have given a tremendous gift to the world through your scholarship and publications.”  Catherine Jocelyn

My writings range from full-length books and scholarly articles to poetry and more personal essays. I am currently at work on a book that will include stories and photos of my work and my "nature adventures." Published books are listed on this page.  Links to full text versions of some of my published articles are provided on the following page.
