Bob HarringtonLinda and Bob Harrington live with their bullmastiff, Shadow, on a forested acreage at Galena Bay, British Columbia. They have also reforested a piece of logged-over land by planting thousands of trees and scattering millions of tree seeds. This stor is told in The Soul Solution, recently reprinted by Hancock House, with a new foreword by David Suzuki. Bob is a veteran of WW II, and holds a degree in geology and a master's degree in education. He is the author of several books, and numerous feature articles for newspapers and magazines. His diverse experience includes working as a prospector, as a geologist on dam construction, on the USS Nautilus during its construction, and teaching secondary school sciences and university ecology courses. He was elected selectman and, later, chairman of the Board of Selectman, in a New England town. He served for several years on the editorial committee of the Journal of the Idaho Academy of Science, and he was Western Representative for the Canadian Wildlife Federation for five years. Working in the 1950s for the USDA as a foreman-supervisor of pesticide spray operations led him to focus on the study of ecology as the overall holistic science. Fellowships in ecology gave him more insight in this field. In 1990 Bob received the British Columbia Environmental Education Award. Linda has worked with Bob on his books and articles for many years, and shares his passion for Nature. She loves gardening, collecting and sharing wild and traditional garden seeds, and working to ensure they leave as small a footprint as possible on the planet. Read More Read Less
