His solo expedition, recounted in \u003ci\u003eWalking Home\u003c\/i\u003e, is filled with the awe and danger of being on one's own in the wild, being battered by the elements and even, for two harrowing days, becoming the terrified quarry of a grizzly bear. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBut the formidable, lonely landscape is also rich with human stories-of trappers, explorers, marooned sailors, and hermits, as well as the myths of the region's Tlingit Indians. Relating his journey, Schooler creates a conversation between the human and the natural, the past and the present, to investigate-on a remote and uninhabited shore-what it means to be not only part of nature's wild web, but also a member of a human community in the flow of history. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eLynn Schooler \u003c\/b\u003eis the critically acclaimed author of \u003ci\u003eThe Blue Bear \u003c\/i\u003eand \u003ci\u003eThe Last Shot\u003c\/i\u003e.
