Seller's Description:
Like New. Size: 9x6x1; Hardcover and dust jacket. Good binding and cover. Minor shelf wear. Faint foxing to top edge. Clean, unmarked pages. "A comprehensive, insightful reading of one of America's greatest nature writers. Warren covers Burroughs' entire career, carefully calibrating his character and achievements against those of his influential companions Thoreau, Whitman, Roosevelt, and Muir while, at the same time, evoking their distinctive literary styles and environmental values. It is easy to see how Burroughs' original combination of lyric natural history, agrarian pastoral, cultural criticism, and biophilia could inspire millions of readers from school children to presidents. Beautifully written and deeply informed, this book will speak not only to ecocritics and environmental historians, but to anyone who cherishes the green and living earth."-John Tallmadge, author of The Cincinnati Arch: Learning from Nature in the City.
