Artikelbeschreibung vom Verkäufer

An association copy: laid is a "compliments of Houghton Mifflin Company" card signed by its editor-in-chief Paul Brooks, and with the ownership signature of Houghton Mifflin editor Haven H. Spencer at the top of the front free endpaper. Spencer was a senior science editor for Houghton Mifflin and developed and managed the house's first college science department. Also laid in is a small promotional brochure/order form for the book featuring blurbs by William O Douglas, Robert Cushman Murphy, and John Kieran. Published just eight years after Carson's book, this book is part biography and account of the making of Silent Spring, part follow-up to that book with the latest update on "how the pesticide question stands today." Frank Graham, Jr., (see his NYT obit) was a prolific environmental writer and a field editor for Audubon magazine. Brooks was Rachel Carson's publisher and editor, and in fact he suggested the title Silent Spring. He was also an accomplished naturalist writer and winner of the John Burroughs Medal for nature writing for Roadless Area. Green cloth with silver gilt lettering. Very good with offsetting from now missing laid-in materials on the front free endpaper, title page (lightly), and dedication page; also one bump to rear top board edge near spine. In a very good jacket with edge wear and rubbing to corner and spine ends; one quarter-inch tear at top edge of front panel. A nice publishing association with rare ephemera.

Shop-Beschreibung

Visit us at www.ruralhours.com. Rural Hours (formerly Wood River Books) specializes in ecology, natural history, nature and science writing, the environment, ecopoetics, contemporary essay, and literary journalism, with a special passion for association copies and notable inscriptions. Our name is an homage to Susan Fenimore Cooper's book Rural Hours (1850), considered the first work of environmental nonfiction by an American woman. The daughter of James Fenimore Cooper, Susan Cooper was also an accomplished watercolorist, and her birds from Rural Hours populate these pages. Her rendering of a "chimney swallow" (now known as a swift) serves as our logo and mascot: sleek and elevated, part sky and part city street. Rural Hours is mainly a project of writer and teacher Nick Neely. Along with a pair of MFA degrees in nonfiction and poetry, Nick has a Master's in Literature and Environment from the University of Nevada, Reno. He has much expertise and years of experience in the field of eco-writing. His first book, Coast Range, was a finalist for John Burroughs Medal for nature writing and his second book, Alta California--about a 12-week trek he made along the California coast--was a Los Angeles Times bestseller. Check out the "Rambles" page for eventual short essays from him on environmental lit, new books, and more. Rural Hours is a young venture, but we aspire to be among the leaders in the field of rare and interesting eco-writing. We believe, emphatically, that environmental literature and its preservation is in the service of the preservation of the world. In addition to helping serious collectors and institutions build their libraries and archives, our goal is to curate a substantial "house collection" of environmental writing for public display on this site and beyond, one that shows the evolution of the genre(s). That will be a perennial work in progress. We hope to draw a deep, explorable map of environmental writing that traces the lineage and connections between authors and artists determined to render and protect the earth, locally and globally. At the same time, we would like to challenge the usual contours of the "environmental literature" canon and promote a more diverse and inclusive array of voices; in that way, our longterm goal is to excavate the past and curate toward the future. Rural Hours also hopes to eventually have an open shop and gallery space, but for now we are only online. You've come to the right the place. Enjoy poking around, and then head out for a walk.
