Reviews

Making strong, lasting connections between the rugged land and the strong people is a staple of life on the Great Plains. Dan O'Brien's gift is helping people understand this connection and the basic and difficult truth that sustainable living is not simple; it is as matted and dense as the thick fur that defines the buffalo's very nature. --Tom Daschle, former U.S. senator from South Dakota and former U.S. Senate majority leader--Tom Daschle (02/26/2014)


Dan O'Brien's book strikes me as a gentle but badly needed confrontation. . . . Figuring out how to realign the way we live with the health of the ecological systems that support us is the single most important challenge of the twenty-first century, and that makes O'Brien's book an essential meditation. --Edward Norton, actor and UN Goodwill Ambassador for Biodiversity
