Publisher's Synopsis
Fifteen people, spanning an age-range of more than 20 years, from entirely different backgrounds and more than seven countries, were all brought to the 16th International Wilderness Guide course in Kuru, Finland, because of a common passion. This collection reflects some thoughts and attitudes of our group and our teachers. The titles of the chapters were given by each of the participants, and the content of this book consists of fragments from short interviews with the students and teachers. The content is presented anonymously and each chapter contains a mixture of everyone's answers. I like to think of this as an anthology, in a very literal sense: each of the statements made here has been nurtured and nourished by each person's experiences, and has grown, like a flower, until the moment of the interview. All I did was collect those thoughts and ideas and dry them between the pages of this book. NOTE: The price reflects solely the printing costs and this book is sold for no profit to the authors.
