About this title: "Mosaic" is a meditation on how the natural and human worlds connect in both ugliness and beauty, and how they combine to produce both tumult and peace. It is Williams' most beautifully written and powerfully moving book yet.

"I know, I know, most people drop out in the prairie dog section, but if you stick with it that section begins to have a certain rhythm and creates its own subtle narrative structure. You find yourself suddenly caring about the individual prairie dogs as characters, in addition to the obvious goal of making you rethink the prevailing attitude toward them as "varmints."
But seriously, if you get through the prairie dog section, everything has an odd and elegant way of coming together."
"I read this book in June. I love Terry Tempest Williams' work and this is was a remarkable book. The three parts -- learning how to make a mosaic, the life of prairie dogs, and doing humanitarian work in Rwanda all tied together and truly gave a glimpse of how do we find beauty in a broken world. It was a book of hope and grace."
"All living beings, though sometimes broken, are resilient and the harmony of life is very powerful. This masterful book combines the ancient art of making mosaics, with the fragile ecology of prairie dog communities and the war-torn broken communities of Rwanda in a way that gives me hope for the resilience of human and more-than human communities as we strive for a harmonious life."
"I didn't finish this book because it was due back at the library. I think things got off to a really good start. I was interested and intrigued. But once Terri started working with the prarie dogs things slowed down for me. I do like prarie dogs and am interested in their plight but it was hard for me to read all the observations of their movements of each day. I will go back to this because I have faith in Terri's ability to tell a beautiful story, actually many beautiful stories interwoven together creating a higher understanding of life and nature."
