Longtime photojournalist and former state representative Bill Witt is the intellectual property officer for the University of Northern Iowa. His photos and essays have been published in the Iowan, Iowa Heritage Illustrated, Sierra, Nature Conservancy, and the Sun. The Sierra Club named him an "American environmental hero" in 1991. He is the author of Orchids in Your Pocket: A Guide to the Native Orchids of Iowa (Iowa, 2006). Journalist and author Osha Gray Davidson's work has appeared in the New York Times, Mother Jones, the Nation, the New Republic, and Popular Science, among others. He is the author of five books of nonfiction, the most recent of which is Fire in the Turtle House: The Green Sea Turtle and the Fate of the Ocean.
Gives us close-ups of pasque flower shoots covered with ice in spring, coneflowers dancing in a summer breeze, and prairie dropseed in its autumn colors as well as such prairie companions as sandhill cranes, northern harriers, and bison. This book celebrates prairie landscape.
