Barry Lopez, an award-winning writer who tried to tighten the bonds between people and place by describing the landscapes he saw in 50 years of travel, has died. He was 75. His family said Lopez died in Eugene, Oregon, on Friday, Dec. 25, 2020, after a years-long struggle with prostate cancer. An author of nearly 20 books on natural history studies, along with an essay and short story collections, Lopez was awarded the National Book Award in 1986 for "Arctic Dreams: Imagination and Desire in a Northern Landscape." It was the result of almost five years of traveling the Arctic. (David Liittschwager via AP)
