Unique Quest for Life’s Answers: Born on a Buzzard’s Stump, Published by Outskirts Press
New Bern, NC, February 03, 2011 --(PR.com)-- Outskirts Press, Inc. has published Born on a Buzzard’s Stump: The Memoirs of a Darwinian quest by Alva Harris. The author's most recent book to date is a 5.5 x 8.5 paperback in the adventurers and explorers autobiography category and is available worldwide on book retailer websites such as Amazon and Barnes & Noble. The webpage at www.outskirtspress.com/alvabornonabuzzardsstump was launched simultaneously with the book's publication.
At a young age, Alva Harris became enthralled with the question of where he came from. His father’s answer stretched credulity: “A buzzard laid you on a stump and the sun came out and hatched you,” he said. But for all of his life Harris never forgot his father’s explanation -- and he continued seeking answers about our wondrous world and the dynamic forces that control us all.
Born on a Buzzard’s Stump chronicles the first eight decades of Harris’s singular story. From a penniless Depression-era child, he has called himself a plow-boy, hunter, trapper, taxidermist, commercial fisherman, biological collector, gold miner, military serviceman, ecologist, and professor. Not to mention outlaw -- as when he was arrested in his high school English class for bringing a dead eagle to school.
Beyond these intensely personal experiences, Harris’s account dazzles as he records the remarkable natural world that surrounds him and inspires his lifelong passion for the environment.
478 pages in length, Born on a Buzzard’s Stump: The Memoirs of a Darwinian quest is being aggressively promoted to appropriate markets with a focus on the adventurers and explorers autobiography category. With U.S. wholesale distribution through Ingram and Baker & Taylor, and pervasive online availability through Amazon, Barnes & Noble and elsewhere, Born on a Buzzard’s Stump meets consumer demand through both retail and library markets with a suggested retail price of $24.95.
Additionally, Born on a Buzzard’s Stump can be ordered by retailers or wholesalers for the maximum trade discount price set by the author in quantities of ten or more from the Outskirts Press Direct bookstore at www.outskirtspress.com/bookstore.
