This site has been created by Denny’s family and friends to make his published and unpublished work available to the public. He died early in his career, but not before he developed a new and innovative way of thinking about human society and its relationship to nature. At the time of his death, much of this thought was either published in obscure and weighty academic form or remained unpublished in field notes, journals and an exquisite collection of color slides. Denny delighted in observing and understanding the behavior of living things and how they worked toward capturing and converting energy into productive life and, in the case of humans, culture. He believed human society to be inextricably linked in a chain of life that included the tiniest organisms as well as the vast expanses of forest, tundra and swamp.
