"Alexandra Horowitz does more than open our eyes in On Looking:
Eleven Walks with Expert Eyes. She opens our hearts and minds, too,
gently awakening us to a world -- in fact, many worlds -- we've
been missing...The pages hum and shine as a result, warmly
reflecting the author's genuine enthusiasm for her work and its
revelations."-- "USA Today"
"Alexandra Horowitz's new book is as wonderful as her first. Inside
of a Dog helped us to imagine the worlds of our beagles, collies,
greyhounds and mutts. On Looking teaches us that the world is just
as rich, strange and charmed when seen through the eyes of our
local artists, doctors, architects and toddlers. On Looking also
teaches us that Alexandra Horowitz is a writer to watch."--Jonathan
Weiner "author of Beak of the Finch"
"Engaging, amusing, and relatable..." -- "Booklist"
