But as the group begins its investigations--conducting ecological and evolutionary studies of the area and its natural inhabitants; listening to the stories of local villagers; and examining the journals of conquistadors and explorers--they realize that the sea is but a ghost of what it once was. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAnd yet there is redemption in their difficult realization: as they find their places in a profoundly altered environment, they also recognize their roles in the path ahead, and ultimately come to see themselves in a new light. By turns epic and intimate, \u003ci\u003eTelling Our Way to the Sea\u003c\/i\u003e is a profound meditation on our changing relationships with nature--and with one another.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAaron Hirsh is chair of the Vermilion Sea Institute.
