Celebrate spring with Bob Chance’s newly published “Earthline: A 30-Year Anthology”

Bob Chance, the region’s recognized authority on ecology, natural history and, yes, even Bigfoot, presents an entertaining and informative look at his local experiences and international journeys in his newly published “Earthline: A 30-Year Anthology.”

Chance has been penning his local nature column in Harford County since 1972 and, for the first time, nearly 100 of those columns spanning more than 30 years have been reprinted and reorganized into this 180-page book.

“Earthline: A 30-Year Anthology” is a captivating journey through the collected field experiences of naturalist-author Chance, a man who has dedicated his life to preservation and appreciation of the natural world.  Whether he’s studying the outdoor terrain of Harford County, Maryland, marveling over creatures great and small, or exploring distant exotic lands, Chance presents his thoughts and observations with an informed, passionate voice that calls for ecological conservation through awareness, education, and understanding.

Autographed copies of the book, with postage pre-paid and one-of-a-kind nature inserts included, can be purchased HERE for just $25.  Chance is available for environmentally-themed appearances, nature talks and book signings accompanied by an assortment of snakes, turtles, fossils and Native American tools.

“Bob Chance’s writing is just like taking a ride or a hike with him through the byways of northern Maryland … trust me on this, I’ve done that a few times too.  He has a gift for making you see things you’ve never seen before.  He introduces you to eccentric folk you’d never get to meet otherwise.  And he can make you see something new about a place you’ve seen a thousand times before.  Do yourself a big favor and take a Chance or two every day.  It’ll change the way you see things, and you’ll never look back,” said Matt Lake, author of “Weird Maryland” and “Weird Pennsylvania.”

With an underlying theme stressing the importance of man’s relationship to his surrounding environment, “Earthline: A 30-Year Anthology” is the natural way to get back into the spring of things this season.
