About the Book
The essays in this book combine the authors’ personal experiences walking through the landscape and among the plants of Western New York with both hard-to-find historical writings and contemporary studies. Together they bring that environment to life.

While on one level, this work can be a guide book for anyone exploring the region, more importantly it can help us understand how forces, some ancient and some contemporary, influence our lives. Through this understanding, we gain a deeper sense of place. And, as the author and conservationist Paul Gruchow observed, “with out a sense of place ... we will never be truly human.”

Mr. Stinson is a freelance photographer and writer living in the San Francisco Bay Area. He holds a B.A. from New College in Sarasota Florida and a Ph.D. in Physics from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. He studied photography at the San Francisco Art Institute and is a member of the Board of Directors of PhotoAlliance. His particular interest is in the surprising connection between our sense of the aesthetic and the universality of underlying physical laws.

Some images draw on my experience in land use planning and environmental conservation. Stinson's photographs have won awards local and regionally and have been exhibited internationally.
