A coffee-table book that should be read as much as it is simply admired,
Patagonia: Notes from the Field is a collection of photographs and essays that
stir the senses. Commissioned for Patagonia, the outdoor clothing and gear
company, and with an introduction from its legendary founder, Yvon Chouinard,
Patagonia delivers in both image and word. The pages turn slowly–if at all–
as each momentary vision and each crafted essay casts a spell that seems to
have traveled from some half-forgotten end of the earth: a kayak pulled across
the ice floes off Baffin Island, a snowy river in Idaho, a choppy sea and a
solitary mast, a crack of lightening, a snowboarder streaking down an
unthinkable slope.
Patagonia: Notes from the Field delivers an intense glimpse of those front
lines in a spectacular collection of essays and photographs commissioned for
Patagonia. Authors such as Paul Theroux, Gretel Ehrlich, Russell Chatham, Rick
Ridgeway, and Tom McGuane offer first-hand perspectives-often off-beat and
sometimes unsettling-on our relationship to the natural world. Their words
capture life-threatening moments and sudden insights into the soul of a sport.
