In his new book, Nick takes a humorous, inspiring, and elucidating trip to America's trails, farms, and frontier to examine the people who inhabit the land, what that has meant to them and us, and to the land itself, both historically and currently. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e In 2018, Wendell Berry posed a question to Nick, a query that planted the seed of this book, sending Nick on two memorable journeys with pals--a hiking trip to Glacier National Park with his friends Jeff Tweedy and George Saunders, as well as an extended visit to his friend James Rebanks, the author of \u003ci\u003eThe Shepherd's Life\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eEnglish Pastoral\u003c\/i\u003e. He followed that up with an excursion that could only have come about in 2020--Nick and his wife, Megan Mullally, bought an Airstream trailer to drive across (several of) the United States. These three quests inspired some \"deep-ish\" thinking from Nick, about the history and philosophy of our relationship with nature in our national parks, in our farming, and in our backyards; what we mean when we talk about conservation; and the importance of outdoor recreation, all subjects very close to Nick's heart. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e With witty, heartwarming stories and a keen insight into the human problems we all confront, this is both a ramble through and celebration of the land we all love.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eNick Offerman\u003c\/b\u003e is the \u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e bestselling author of \u003ci\u003ePaddle Your Own Canoe: One Man's Fundamentals for Delicious Living\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eGumption: Relighting the Torch of Freedom with America's Gutsiest Troublemakers\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eGood Clean Fun: Misadventures in Sawdust at Offerman Woodshop\u003c\/i\u003e, as well as co-author of \u003ci\u003eThe Greatest Love Story Ever Told, \u003c\/i\u003e with his wife, Megan Mullally.
