The Hopes of Snakes, Lisa Couturier, cloth, January 2005,
$23.00, 978-0-8070-8564-6
“The BayScience Foundation and ZipcodeZoo are pleased to announce that
Lisa Couturier has been named Nature Writer of the Year for 2007 for
her book The Hopes of Snakes and Other Tales from the Urban Landscape.
Couturier writes with great power and sensitivity, pulling the reader
in, teaching and thrilling and spinning a yarn like no other nature writer.
Along the way, the words tumble together in new ways, and the charm and delight
flows in a torrent. In the end, we are moved, we have learned, and we want
more. We hope you will share our delight with this book, and share it with
friends. This is our first year for giving this award. Lisa becomes our head
judge for the 2008 competition.”
