On Schillhammer Road

From the book jacket: Hub to friends family and colleagues the author is described in the Foreword by naturalist Charles W. Johnson as: ... a cornerstone at the University of Vermont a selfless teacher a passionate conservationist and a man of unusual modesty who willingly shares his knowledge of-and delight in-the natural world. I even heard someone describe him as a rarity-a botanist with charisma. Now we all are given the opportunity to know him through his own written words. ON SCHILLHAMMER ROAD: THE LIFE OF A BOTANIST [is] a personal rendering of a life lived close to home and close to nature each reinforcing the other bringing real meaning and satisfaction.
