“Crow Planet”: Essential Wisdom from the Urban Wilderness  by Lyanda Lynn Haupt  Much of this book is a love psalm to the author's own philosophy and lifestyle and she uses crows much more as icons for her eclectic orientation than as topics of study. And that is perfectly fine. Eclectic folks and their outlooks are just as valid and often more fun than plenty of other people I've met.  I suppose Haupt could be described as an eco-freak but, if so, she is surely one of the more palatable ones. She might be described as a serendipitous philosopher but that probably tags almost anyone who takes charge of their life on their own terms instead of The Company's or The Government's terms. She certainly deserves to be labeled a talented writer because she writes with an entertaining style that, oddly enough, actually resembles the congenial writings of one Elizabeth Bacon Custer – widow of the gentleman whose famous military career ended in abrupt and smoky fashion along the Little Bighorn River in 1876.  Eclectic or not, what Haupt has to say here is very worth listening to. She makes a very strong case for “living the MINUTES of our lives right” wherever we are because each minute has value and opportunity that we shouldn't let escape.She also regularly reminds the reader that the question is often more important than the answer.

    A book for a lifetime
  

*by B***Y on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on November 23, 2009*

I ordered the book on the recommendation of a friend and am more than happy with the selection. This is the kind of book that friends will be telling their friends about for years to come. Though I finished the book months ago, I keep turning the ideas and questions it raised over and over in my head. What is nature? What does it mean in relation to my very urban surroundings? And just what *are* those crows up to anyway?The author takes us along on an urban naturalist's journey and through it we gain insights into the web of living things in which we are all enmeshed. Grim environmentalism this is not. If you're looking for the harsh statistics and glum forecasts of doom that pervade our media, look elsewhere. If you're looking for a dry and dusty reference manual to the genus Corvus, keep browsing. If however you hunger for a celebration of nature (and crows!) and something to bring the joy back to caring about and living in our environment, then this is the portable feast you need.

    A keen eye and a beautiful ear

When I first heard about this book, I was hoping it would NOT be the usual 50 Weird Facts About Crows, but was expecting exactly that, and was still willing to buy it because crows get a lot of bad press.  Besides, crows are living proof that we live in a magical world, even in full daylight, and share it with other possibly sentient beings. My informant shook her head and tried again, by paying Crow Planet the highest compliment she could think of:  "It reads like your book.  Only it's about crows, not carpentry tools."45 minutes later, I had a new copy in my hands.  Months later, I'm still reading it with delight, over and over. My friend was so right. This will be a perfect gift, and my own copy goes high on my shelf, right alongside Betty MacDonald's The Egg and I, and Colin Fletcher's The Thousand-Mile Summer, two books that are also not just about rural egg production or nature hiking.
