Ken Lassman's book "Wild Douglas County" invites readers to get out and explore the county that thrives beneath artificial boundaries imposed by humans. "Just as a road atlas doesn't show the landscape that the roads drive through, our legally and economically oriented 'Douglas County' ignores the very real ecological goings-on that are as old as the land itself and will continue as long as there is life on this planet," writes Lassman, pictured Tuesday on a sandbar along the Kansas River.
