Sobre este artículo
W. W. Norton & Company, 2010. 1st Edition. Hardcover. Near Fine/Fine. Inscribed on the half-title page: "For Richard, with deep admiration and bottomless affection. -- John D., Iowa City, April 2010." A great inscription. D'Agata is the flag-bearer for contemporary experimental essay. This is a fantastic and cutting edge book, a long lyric essay entwining Las Vegas, suicide trends, and the proposal for the nearby Yucca Mountain nuclear repository. A modern environmental classic, in the opinion of this establishment, and controversial, too--or thought provoking--for a little tinkering with small facts, which seems a kind of intentionally embedded nuclear/literary decay. A must read. Near fine with the lightest touch of foxing/discoloration to outer face of the text block, hardly noticeable, and a smidge of wear to a few corners. In a fine dust jacket. // Wood (+) River (=) Books specializes in ecology, natural history, nature writing, the environment, and environmental literature, with a special passion for association copies and notable inscriptions.

Sobre Rural Hours
Rural Hours (formerly Wood + River = Books, est. 2019) specializes in ecology, natural history, nature writing, the environment, environmental literature, and contemporary essay, with a special passion for association copies and notable inscriptions. We draw our name from the popular-but-then-forgotten book by Susan Fenimore Cooper (published in 1850), generally considered the first work of environmental creative nonfiction by a woman in the U.S. We are interested in challenging and expanding the canon of environmental literature and finding books that tell remarkable stories and illuminate the tradition of writing about place and natural history.
