À propos de l'auteur
Dennis Minsky's essays have appeared on the Cape Cod Notebook segment of WCAI, and in the Year-Rounder column in the Provincetown Independent; he has also had fiction, reviews, and profiles published in Provincetown Arts magazine. His career as a field biologist began in 1974, at Cape Cod National Seashore, protecting nesting terns and plovers. He also worked for the Park Service in the Everglades and Big Cypress Preserve, and in southern California for various state and federal agencies. After earning a master's degree in Biology, he taught Environmental Science in New Jersey for 20 years, returning to the Cape each summer to work for the Center for Coastal Studies, Art's Dune Tours, and the Dolphin Fleet Whale Watch, where he is still employed as a naturalist. He worked for many years at the iconic Ciro & Sal's Restaurant, and still considers the experience formative. He has been a resident of Provincetown since 1968 and returned fulltime in 2005. Since then he has been active in the Provincetown Conservation Commission, the Open Space Committee, the Community Preservation Committee, the Tree Advisory Group, and the Provincetown Conservation Trust.

Little Sister Sand (Paperback)
impression à la demandeVendeur : Grand Eagle Retail, Bensenville, IL, Etats-Unis
Évaluation du vendeur 5 sur 5 étoiles
Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. Little Sister Sand is a compendium: a collection of experiences and interactions, of observations, and musings based upon them, that have taken place over nearly six decades - all concentrated on the outer reaches of Cape Cod, most specifically in Provincetown. Minsky has been wandering the beaches, dunes, woodlands, and marshes of the area for all these years, always with an open mind and an inquisitive nature. His own backyard and the sidewalks of town are also part of his territory. He reminds us that, on this little spit we inhabit or visit "sand is everywhere" and not to be underestimated.His message in miniature is that wildness is everywhere, even in this "narrow land" as Thoreau described it. Cape Cod has been inhabited by people for centuries and the evidence of its "lived-in" character exists side-by-side with the wild fauna and flora around us. Human history and natural history are inextricably bound. An underlying theme of the book is exactly how we should share the world with our non-human neighbors: what exactly is our place in nature?Minsky is a naturalist: he revels in the sights, sounds, and smells of the natural world. He muses on the interior lives of the creatures he encounters. He ponders the essence of beauty and the phenomenon of the passage of time. He provides no answers; rather a profusion of questions. His conclusion: "Within the mystery, there is a place for us all." Little Sister Sand is a collection of observations and musings about the natural and human history of Provincetown. There are descriptions of life in all its forms, from giant whales to miniscule pillbugs. This item is printed on demand.
