![]() As I try so show in the book, it’s a radical openness in which we think clearly and feel good, and connect to phenomena or people beyond ourselves. But I think that wonder is, among other things, an act of deep attention. Wonder is many things-and there are many good definitions out there of what it’s about and its place in human psychology, and so on. It was just a moment when an apparently simple phenomenon connects to much more than the thing itself. There’s a little story at the beginning of the book about a fairly mundane and yet wonderful trick of the light in my kitchen one morning. I seem to recall it wasn’t prompted by a huge scientific spectacle. Tell me about how you came to write A New Map of Wonders. Just think of the amazing pictures of astronomical phenomena such as nebulae and galaxies that are produced by modern telescopes. I think wonder is very important for individual well being and society as a whole, and in our culture science is one of the ways-arguably a leading way-in which we access it. ![]() Why are you interested in science and wonder?

That's evidence enough for me of a connection with real life. The book jacket illustration is attributed to Clara Van Waning. The central character, Lyle Van Waning, is just too real (and lovable) to be a complete fabrication. It took me most of the book to figure out that it's "faction." The Jimmy Galvin of the novel is the author, and the other characters are clearly fictionalized versions of people he knew well. It's essentially plotless, and non-linear in the extreme. The book is beautifully and heartfully written, but be forewarned. The life requires great hardiness and ingenuity to withstand the isolation and trials of snow, wind, fire, hunger, disease, and financial uncertainty. It follows about a century's-worth of people's doin's in a mountain meadow at 8,500 feet in southern Wyoming. This is a quiet, thoughtful read for those of us who have a strong heart connection with the high sagebrush country of the inter-mountain West. "Often I am permitted to return to a meadow." ![]() ![]() ![]() Zeb doesn’t do impulsive, but as the time away progresses, he finds himself increasingly drawn to the merry and irreverent Jesse.
