Returning to his longtime home in Japan after his father-in-law’s sudden death, Pico Iyer picks up the steadying patterns of his everyday rites: going to the post office and engaging in furious games of ping-pong every evening. But in a country whose calendar is marked with occasions honoring the dead, he comes to reflect on changelessness in ways that anyone can relate to: parents age, children scatter, and Iyer and his wife turn to whatever can sustain them as everything falls away. As the maple leaves begin to turn and the heat begins to soften, Iyer shows us a Japan we have seldom seen before, where the transparent and the mysterious are held in a delicate balance, and where autumn reminds us to take nothing for granted.

The highly acclaimed true story of a falconer and falcon and of the bonds among humans, animals, and the natural world. In 1986 Dan O'Brien spent the summer in the Rocky Mountains releasing young peregrine falcons on the cliffs. When one of his release sites was raided by a golden eagle, he managed to save a peregrine chick and decided to make an improbable two-thousand-mile trip with her from the Canadian border to the Gulf of Mexico, following the avian autumnal migration. His retention was to teach the bird to hunt as a wild falcon would, in the hopes of releasing her into the natural world. Along the way he was forced to confront the chasm that gulfs wildness and domesticity -- and the difficulty in finding an even tenuous balance between them. "The Rites of Autumn" is the account of this incredible journey. It is also a beautifully written portrait of the American West, and has gained a worldwide reputation as a powerful, important book of natural history.
