This fascinating and profoundly emotional book - a companion to the acclaimed PBS documentary of the same title - shares Joe Hutto's incredible experiences and relationships with a herd of mule deer in the wilds of Wyoming. Through one extraordinarily curious deer (and years of gentle communion with the herd), Hutto gains intimate access to the group. He appreciates each animal as an individual, and it's an amazing privilege to accompany him in getting to know each one. Touching the Wild is a wonderful, photo-filled nature memoir that will be treasured by all caring stewards of our amazing planet. (CH)
