«A Year in the Maine Woods» is the memoir and nature book by Bernd Heinrich, published by Da Capo Press in paperback (269 pages, in English).
The author spends a year in a Maine cabin without running water or electricity, built from logs cut by hand and hauled with oxen. In the company of his raven Jack, he follows the tracks of deer, listens to the flight of moths, and discovers that conscious life is sustained by the small details of the forest. A blend of personal memoir and scientific observation.
First published in 1995, the account is set beside Alder Brook, east of the Presidential Mountains, in Maine.
For readers interested in nature, science, and memoirs of life in the woods.
