His first book, \u003ci\u003eAdventures with a Texas Naturalist\u003c\/i\u003e, was published when he was almost seventy, and his second, \u003ci\u003eKaránkaway Country\u003c\/i\u003e, appeared three years later. Both were the result of a lifetime of exploring a beloved land, of searching observation, of discussion, debate, wide reading, and reflection. Long out of print, \u003ci\u003eKaránkaway Country\u003c\/i\u003e is now available in a handsome second edition with a new Foreword by W. W. Newcomb, Jr. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eKaránkaway Country\u003c\/i\u003e focuses on the natural history of a strip of coastal prairie lying roughly between Corpus Christi and Galveston and once inhabited by the poorly known and much maligned Karankawa Indians. It serves as home base for an exposition of Bedichek's philosophy, providing a convenient local setting for richly tailored essays on wildlife, soil, human skin, and a variety of other topics suggested by a wide-ranging intellect. Bedichek's philosophy, if it can be reduced to a few words, is essentially that humans must learn to live on peaceful and conciliatory terms with our natural environment. \u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 318\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.92 x 8.3 x 5.53 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e January 01, 1974\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45308798992486,"sku":"9780292743045","price":42.94,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0599\/7255\/0758\/files\/UkQzbXVWNHlTVDA2ME9PeGhFZFFGdz09.webp?v=1774191031","url":"https:\/\/infinitylightwa.com\/products\/karankaway-country-paperback","provider":"Infinity Light","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
