Time and the Piedmont takes its readers on a detailed exploration of some of the most intriguing of nature’s wonders. Author Edward Kuenzler leads us on an expedition through territory that boasts a web of life as complex as the ecology that has evolved over the ages on Africa’s Serengeti Plain, and he sets before us a sweep of geological time every bit as awe-inspiring as that laid bare in the Grand Canyon. But the wonders he uncovers are those that surround us every day in the Piedmont region of the eastern United States, whether we are aware of them or not.

Time and the Piedmont examines the scales of time that we can observe and appreciate in our everyday natural environments: in our yards and gardens, a neighborhood park, or a seemingly ordinary forest tract. Kuenzler reminds us that we need not travel to exotic locales to experience a sense of wonder—all we need to do is go outdoors to look, listen, and think.
