As the photograph to the left suggests, I've always known that books can take you places. Having grown up with older, conservative parents, I also learned that tradition is a necessary part of making one's way in the modern world. My books, from the history of nature loving to the history of the family, are about how people deal with change. Our collective and individual well being hinge on how wisely we use our unprecedented freedoms, particularly in how we choose to treat and care for each other.
