Press)
Ken Lamberton
author of Time of Grace: Thoughts on Nature, Family, and the Politics of Crime and Punishment
(17.95 University of Arizona Press)
"Far more than a "prison memoir," it is an intimate and revealing look at relationships--with
fellow humans and with the surprising wildlife of the Sonoran Desert, both inside and beyond prison walls." Richard Shelton
is the author of Crossing the Yard: Thirty Years as a Prison Volunteer "Richard Shelton does good time in Arizona's
unnatural wonder, its prison system. Read this book and learn how we have all failed ourselves and our fellow citizens."
"Biologist Ken Lamberton sees so keenly and writes so gracefully, it's nearly impossible
to stop reading him. That we locked him up for a crime that pits our very biological urges against our avowal to be ethical
mammals makes this book even more irresistible. Its revelations, accusations, and deep humility jar us into rethinking multiple
human messes we make, and to honor--or envy--his redemption."
