(New York: Bantam Books, 1988).

FIRST EDITION, INSCRIBED BY THE PRESIDENT. Jimmy Carter was 39th President of the United States. He became, after his tenure as president, University Distinguished Professor at Emory University and founded the Carter Center which addresses national and international issues of public policy and attempts to promote democracy, protect human rights, and prevent disease and other afflictions. In 1991, the president launched The Atlanta Project a community wide effort to attack the social problems associated with poverty. This is a book that is considered especially personal, a pleasing and intimate journey through the seasons of fishing, hunting and hiking from his childhood in Plains, Georgia to the White House and beyond. The book is also a story of special people, the most successful fisherwoman in Plains, the coon hunting dogs that would occasionally turn up a moonshine still and the high lama of Nepal who wrote a beautiful prayer book-----in a previous life.
