English Summary/英文概要：
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 不論我們住在城市、郊區或者鄉村，我們都必須面臨『自然』不斷以自己堅持的方式入侵我們的生活。博物學家Susan Shetterly由觀察動物、人類、以及植物們如何在同一片土地上共存，以及觀察她的近鄰的鄉村緬因州。
道出了當地的小故事，當中包括人類的、雪鞋野兔的、浣熊、山貓、龜、魚、烏鴉、蜂鳥、鸕鶿、鷸、春雨蛙等等。
她巧妙地告訴我們，這些動物們如何以自己的方式不斷變化棲息地。
如同Annie Dillard 和Aldo Leopold的作品一般,《湖濱散記》就好像用一個放大鏡窺探環繞我們四周的原始和自然。
Susan Shetterly用她的熱情和智慧，提供為我們上了良好的一課。(SL)
Awards/获奖情况："A solid, eloquent grounding of life in rural coastal Maine…[that] gives us a new vernacular to speak about why rural places matter…With this tender and tough book, Shetterly creates an offering of native awareness that deserves to be placed alongside Aldo Leopold, Marjorie Stoneman Douglas, and Noel Perrin, all writers of community, insight and resolve."---Terry Tempest Williams, author of Finding Beauty in a Broken World
Starred Review. I live on land that has not surrendered the last of its wildness, Shetterly (The New Year’s Owl: Encounters with Animals, People and the Land They Share) writes of her home in rural Maine. It keeps secrets, and those secrets prompt us to pay attention, to look for more. In her first essay collection in more than 20 years, she beautifully renders some of what she’s learned in the decades since she and her then husband moved into an unfinished cabin—idealistic, dangerously unprepared, and, frankly, arrogant, she can see now. Most of these essays, however, focus on life after she’s settled in, when she’s learned to listen for the sounds of the coming spring through her open bedroom window or impulsively stands down a bobcat that’s chased a baby rabbit into the middle of the road. Shetterly’s eye for poetic detail is exquisite, especially in longer essays such as the story of how she nursed an injured raven back to health, after which it set up home on her roof and became best friends with her terrier. But she writes about her neighbors (even those she admits she never really knew) with equal grace and empathy. Let’s hope it’s not another quarter-century before her next collection arrives.
