And what ecological and spiritual lessons can we learn from examining this? Bernd Heinrich has long been fascinated by these questions, and when a good friend with a terminal illness asked if he might have his “green burial” at Heinrich’s hunting camp in Maine, it inspired the acclaimed biologist and author to investigate.  Life Everlasting  is the fruit of those investigations, illuminating what happens to animals great and small after death.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFrom beetles to bald eagles, ravens to wolves, Heinrich reveals the fascinating and mostly hidden post-death world that occurs around us constantly, while examining the ancient and important role we too play as scavengers, connecting death to life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e“Bernd Heinrich is one of the finest naturalists of our time.
