[Mark Harragin]

Reading TMWT has sustained my intellectual interest for most of 2022. The experience was similar to climbing a mountain, like Kilimanjaro (Kenya childhood), the lower altitudes arduous, too weighed down with science, then more wondrous as the chapters progressed, culminating with chapter 28, the air thin but champagne fresh and sparkling, the view infinite. McG constructed this book with so much meticulous care, attention to detail. Reading was like being held in a warm loving embrace. My intellect baulked and grumbled (“too much science!”). My body held, my soul nourished.
