Henry Beston planned to spend only two weeks in his newly built cottage on the outer beach of Cape Cod. As summer drifted into autumn, however, he found himself so entranced by the landscape's rhythms and beauty that he could not bear to leave. Settled in his isolated house facing the North Atlantic, Beston spent a year immersed in the raw, elemental life of the great beach around him. Observing the migrations of seabirds, savage winter storms and the constantly shifting interactions between sea and shore, he wrote of the passing seasons in ecstatic, riveting detail. Long out of print in the UK, The Outermost House is a vital precursor to today's prominent nature writers. Impassioned and richly layered, it is a matchless evocation of the spirit of a place and the enduring appeal of the wild.

Beston describes a year as observed from the outermost house on Cape Cod. That house has been swept away by waves and wind but in this book that year is revealed with great clarity for all time. You may not be an expert in any field of natural science but he never fails to explain with great clarity and never tells you more than you want to know about any of the natural phenomena witnessed. This book should never be out of print.
