Into (and Out of) the Wild

Delve into our complicated relationship with the natural world with acclaimed authors Robert Moor and Andrew Westoll. Moor introduces In Trees, a witty excursion exploring how trees teach us to live, which Bill McKibben praises as a "classic upon publication." Meanwhile, Charles Taylor Prize-winner Andrew Westoll, presents Born to be Wild, an immersive exploration confronting the practical and ethical quandaries of the modern zoo in an age of extinction. 

Robert Moor is a journalist, essayist, and author. A graduate of Brown University and NYU, his work has appeared in The New Yorker, Harper’s, The Atlantic, New York Magazine, The New York Times, GQ, Granta, Outside, Emergence, and n+1,  among other publications. On Trails, his first book, garnered the Saroyan Prize, the National Outdoor Book Award, and the Pacific Northwest Book Award. He lives in Halfmoon Bay, British Columbia.

Andrew Westoll is an award-winning writer and professor based in Toronto. A former primatologist-in-training, Andrew traded the real jungle for the concrete one a long time ago, but his experiences with wild animals still inform his work. Most of his writing explores our fraught relationship with the natural world.
