Artikelbeschreibung des Verkäufers

Inscribed briefly by Garrett Hardin to no recipient on the title page: "Garrett Hardin, a denizen within." Likely the only copy signed by Hardin. InThe Green Crusade,"Rubin tells the story of this massive yet strangely unnoticed transformation of [environmental] public perception and social morality by focusing on the small group of influential writers and thinkers---Rachel Carson, Barry Commoner, Paul Ehrlich, E.F. Schumacher, and others--whose enormously popular writings gave birth to the environmental movement as we know it." You can add Hardin to that list, as the book includes a 25-page discussion of his work and his influential idea of the "tragedy of the commons." Ultimately Rubin critiques the environmental movement, as he argues that its utopian vision ultimately trends toward totalitarianism. He is a professor of political science at Duquesne University. A near fine book on account of one small bump to bottom edge of front board; in a near fine jacket. A provocative book and exploration of core environmental writers, uniquely signed.…

Shopbeschreibung

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.…
