WHERE THE DEER AND THE ANTELOPE PLAY - NICK OFF...

A humorous and rousing set of literal and figurative sojourns as well as a mission statement
about comprehending  protecting  and truly experiencing the outdoors  fueled by three journeys
undertaken by actor  humorist  and New York Times bestselling author Nick Offerman Nick
Offerman has always felt a particular affection for the Land of the Free not just for the
people and their purported ideals but to the actual land itself: the bedrock  the topsoil  and
everything in between that generates the health of your local watershed. In his new book  Nick
takes a humorous  inspiring  and elucidating trip to America's trails  farms  and frontier to
examine the people who inhabit the land  what that has meant to them and us  and to the land
itself  both historically and currently. In 2018  Wendell Berry posed a question to Nick  a
query that planted the seed of this book  sending Nick on two memorable journeys with pals a
hiking trip to Glacier National Park with his friends Jeff Tweedy and George Saunders  as well
as an extended visit to his friend James Rebanks  the author of The Shepherd's Life and English
Pastoral. He followed that up with an excursion that could only have come about in 2020 Nick
and his wife  Megan Mullally  bought an Airstream trailer to drive across (several of) the
United States. These three quests inspired some deep-ish thinking from Nick  about the history
and philosophy of our relationship with nature in our national parks  in our farming  and in
our backyards  what we mean when we talk about conservation  and the importance of outdoor
recreation  all subjects very close to Nick's heart. With witty  heartwarming stories and a
keen insight into the human problems we all confront  this is both a ramble through and
celebration of the land we all love.
