The Mountain Knows The Mountain

Philip Connors has now published four books.  His latest is The Mountain Knows The Mountain, published by the University of New Mexico Press last month.  Follow the link to the publisher’s review of this book.

Our review is a bit more to the point.  Buy the book, read the book, share the book with those you care about.  That is what we have done.


Philip Connors is a master of descriptive nuance and he excels in that art in this book.  His description of the return of the Rufous Hummingbirds to the summit of Hillsboro Peak is great descriptive natural history and eerily captures our epoch of human history.

“Walk in one-person parade on the meandering path to the place where the berries grow in such abundance the bears blush at their luck.”
