Discovering Eden is a riveting read that captures the breath of the tundra and provides a deep look into the soul of Alex Hall. The book recounts stories of galloping grizzlies, careening caribou, wily wolverines, and ravens that are smarter than dogs.

West of Hudson Bay in Canada's Arctic, an enormous triangle of tundra, twice the size of Alberta or Texas, sweeps north to the polar sea and forms the largest single wilderness left on the continent. Although the word "tundra" may conjure up an image of a desolate, treelesss plain, this mainland portion of the Canadian Arctic is far from featureless and vibrant with life. The area is home to millions of geese and other birds, and is the haunt of some of the world's last, great, migratory herds of large herbivores and the predators that follow them. It is also an area where great pristine rivers cut through ranges of rugged hills strewn with boulders, and serpentine, sandy eskers course over the landscape.
