Spokane-based teacher and naturalist
JACK NISBET
is the author of several books that explore the human and natural history of the intermountain West, including
Purple Flat Top, Singing Grass Burning Sage,
and
Visible Bones.
He has also written two books that trace fur agent and cartographer David Thompson’s travels west of the Continental Divide:
Sources of the River
and
The Mapmaker’s Eye.
Nisbet’s recent focus on the naturalist David Douglas resulted in his biography
The Collector,
which was named a Pacific Northwest Booksellers Association 2010 Book of the Year.
David Douglas: A Naturalist at Work,
published in 2012, is an illustrated collection of essays that aims to connect Douglas’s vision of the Northwest landscape to what we see today. It also served as the companion to a museum exhibit about Douglas, curated by Nisbet and his wife, Claire.
