It is as important to the planet as is the Amazon rain forest. The Boreal Forest is a living, breathing, pollutant-filtering six-million-square-mile forest covering almost 11 percent of the planet''s surface, stretching from Newfoundland to Alaska. The forest absorbs and filters a quarter billion gallons of water each day and contains a large portion of Earth''s non-frozen fresh water. After sixty-five million years of evolution, this ecosystem is now threatened by development and pollution. --Rendezvous with the Wild is an impassioned celebration of the Boreal Forest and the rivers that run through it. Fifty-four noteworthy contributors from diverse walks of life provide: Art and photography; Essays, stories and anecdotes; Songs and poems; Journal entries and memoirs. ---Some contributors express their longtime love of the land. Others tell of their first truly wild encounter with the vast northern woods. The insight of paddlers and philosophers, artists and firefighters, conservationists and forest industry workers, playwrights and scientists will entertain, inform and persuade readers that this vital wilderness needs our attention and protection now."---, ---contents include: Foreword - Anne Janssen; Invocation - William Commanda; Elder William Commanda - Romola Vasantha; Dark Pines Under Water - Gwendolyn MacEwen ---The Journey Begins - James Raffan; ---Boreal Northwest -Our Sacred Generations - Elaine Alexie ; Balancing People and Place - John Ralston Saul; Calling All Caribou - Brian Brett; Adrift in a Sea of Caribou - Joyce Majiski Snippets from a Wind River Journal -Teresa Earle; The Timelessness of This Place - Ron Bolt; Fire on the Coal - George Smith; Snippets from a Bonnet Plume River Diary - Courtney Milne; Nahanni -- Boreal Headwaters to the World - Harvey Locke; Black Bear on the Nahanni - Wendy Francis; My Father's Smile - Justin Trudeau; VP of Profound Thoughts on Canoeing - Neil Hartling -Western Boreal---; Homecoming - Melody Lepine; Stikine -- Spirit of Wilderness - Wade Davis; Captain's Log - Laurel Archer; Through Jimmy's Eyes- Bruce Hill; Food on the Trail - James Raffan; Dancing Below the Surface -Tomson Highway; A Magical Place- David Schindler; The Invisible Forest Companies - David Schindler; Ecological Guardian Angel - Greg Yeoman; For My Grandchildren - David Suzuki; Passport to a Dream - Ken Dryden -- Central Boreal---; The Singing Forest - Candace Savage; Good for the Birds - Peter Kalm; The Ballad of Sluice Portage - Candace Savage; Good Old Fear of Death - Cathy Jones; Waterfall Woman - Becky Mason; Mikaimi Massage - Anna Baggio; Where Were You When the Lights Went Out - David Lang; Northern Lights Paint - Becky Mason; Of Forest and Elections - Cathy Jones ; Rocks and Trees and Water: A Boreal Dialogue - Thomas King and Cathy Jones -- Eastern Boreal ---Black Spruce - Ian Tamblyn; Web Notes - Brigitte Voss; Notes and Sketches from a (Wet) Moisie River Journal - Tim Gray; Two Solitudes, Not -- La Moisie! - Sarah Harmer; Worst Portage in the World - James Raffan; Hot Work! - William Francis Butler; Notes from a George River Journal - Geoffrey Peake; Just South of Lacasse - Peter Brewster; To Feel Blessed - Carrie McGown and Martha Mortson; A Sunset in New Brunswick - William T.
