I have written four books of creative non-fiction: In the North of Our Lives: A Year in the Wilderness of Northern Canada (1989); Return to Warden's Grove: Science, Desire, and the Lives of Sparrows (2008); In the Memory of the Map: A Cartographic Memoir (2012); and Relicts of a Beautiful Sea: Survival, Extinction, and Conservation in a Desert World (2014). I also have had shorter pieces of creative writing published in Natural History, The Chronicle of Higher Education Review, Orion, and ISLE: Interdisciplinary Studies in Literature and the Environment.
