A Naturalist in Costa Rica picks up Alexander Skutch's story when
he went to that country in 1935, the year ""The Imperative Call""
ends. There his dream of establishing a permanent homestead in the
unspoiled tropical forest of Central America in time became the
reality of a simple farmhouse in the Valley of El General. The book
records his life, work, observations and reflections during 35
years in that southern Pacific portion of Costa Rica. First
published in 1971 (and long out of print), the book expresses a
personal concern for spiritual and ecological balance that
continues to engage us in the final decade of the 20th century.
Appendices contain an annotated list, updated for this edition by
the author, of more than 300 species of birds that he has
identified near his home, an up-to-date bibliography of his
writings, and a list of his awards and honours.
