Читать книгу Barkskins - Энни Пру, Annie Proulx - Страница 4

To the memory of my high school teacher

Elizabeth Ring,

Maine historian, scholar and educator,

who excited in me a lifelong interest in historical change

and shifting disparate views of past and present.

To the memories of my sister Joyce Proulx Kostyn,

brother-in-law John Roberts,

writers Ivan Doig, Dermot Healy, Aidan Higgins

and wildlife biologist Ronald Lockwood.

And for barkskins of all kinds—

loggers, ecologists, sawyers, sculptors, hotshots,

planters, students, scientists, leaf eaters, photographers,

practitioners of shinrin-yoku, land-sat interpreters,

climatologists, wood butchers, picnickers, foresters,

ring counters and the rest of us.
