A few years ago, I had the opportunity to hear Terry Tempest Williams speak at a local event. I don鈥檛 remember many details of her talk, but I do remember her passion, her commitment, and her dedication to being a voice for the environment. Her book, Finding Beauty in a Broken World has been a guidepost for me as a science writer and writing instructor.

It鈥檚 August in South Dakota and a weeklong heat wave where temperatures surpassed 100 degrees has just ended. Thankful for a reprieve from the stifling warmth, I head out early on my day off to explore Badlands National Park. I鈥檝e been staying in Fort Pierre, which is situated on the Missouri River, just across from the capital city of Pierre.
