Exploring & Noticing
|
The Little Book of Noticing is the starting point for the Field Guides. It lays out the way of seeing behind the whole shelf: slow down, look closely, look widely, and let ordinary things become visible before explaining them away.
Every Field Guide begins with one familiar thing — a card deck, a walking stick, a cup of coffee, a knot, a meal, a camper, a market — and follows it into culture, language, history, use, and meaning.

|
