Darwin's ruminations on the Galapagos Islands, Melville's exploration of "the whiteness of the whale," & Thoreau's communion w/ Walden Pond are monuments in the history of writing & thought. "The Norton Book of Nature Writing," including 125 selections by 94 writers, is the first DEFINITIVE & COMPREHENSIVE collection of the many voices of nature writing which have flourished in England & America over the last 200 years. Here one will find such classic & enduring selections as William Bartram's thrilling parley w/ crocodiles in south Forida, John Hay's sublime exchange w/ a dying Arctic dovekie, & John Muir's first glimpse of the Sierra Nevada's "Range of Light." Eloquent contemporary nature writing also abounds in Richard Nelson's moving appreciation of the hunted deer, Edward Hoagland's capture, in words only, of the elusive mountain lion, & Anne Dillard's sagacity & wit brought to bear on the Blue Ridge Mountains. Here too are pieces from "unexpected" nature writers, such as Thomas Merton's brilliant discourse on rain &* existential rhinoceri, John Updike's lively rendering of a thunderstorm in new York City, & Ursula K. Le Guin's interpretation of the myth-making that surround the eruption of Mount St. Helens, "a very warm mountain," as well as selections form Virginia Woolf, Henry James, & D.H. Lawrence. "The Norton Book of Nature Writing" presents nature in all the incarnations--prickly, chaotic, generous, cruel, mysterious, & heartbreaking--that have inspired men to portray it in words. Editors Robert Finch & John Elder have brought together in prose the PANORAMA of the natural world. At one ENTERTAINING & ENLIGHTENING, these essays are characterized not so much by similar subject matter, which ranges from distant galaxies to the microbiology of cells, as by the lively & sympathetic personalities of their authors. In the scope, variety & strength of these selections we have one of the most significant & enduring literary genres of the past 200 years. *ABOUT THE EDITORS: ROBERT FINCH is the author of "Common Ground", "The Primal Place", "Outlands: Journeys to the Outer Edge of Cape Cod,& numerous articles for a variety of magazines. JOHN ELDER was a professor of English at Middlebury College & at the Bread Loaf School of English.His books include "Imaging the Earth: Poetry & the Vision of Nature." * SHIPPING: MNEMOSYNE carefully wraps, labels & custom-packages this fine book for FREE domestic shipment via USPS MEDIA MAIL or via USPS PRIORITY MAIL for a below-cost additional fee of $14.00 & via USPS FIRST CLASS INTERNATIONAL AIRMAIL to all international destinations at our posted below-cost rates or as quoted on request.…
