August
Some of us walk outdoors and see nature in all its splendor. Others of us do it and think of books we could write. Kathleen Dean Moore, a Corvallis, Ore.-based writer and self-described "environmental philosopher," does both. A perfect example is the book we've chosen as the August read for The Spokesman-Review Book Club: "Riverwalking: Reflections on Moving Water" (Harvest Books, 224 pages, $13 paper).
