Sobre este artículo
NY: Harper, 1958. Hardcover. Very good. Inscribed to no recipient on the front free endpaper: "Best wishes! Lois Crisler, For 'lands forever wild.'" Uncommon signed. An account of the author and her husband, Herb Crisler, a wilderness photographer, spending 18 months in Alaska's Brooks Range to film caribou and wolves for a Disney documentary. A. Starker Leopold called her wolf observations "the meticulous and complete descriptions of wolf mannerisms and behavior that has been written." Crisler was an English professor at the University of Washington before marrying, became a good friend and confidant of Rachel Carson, and was influential in the development of Silent Spring. As one writer puts it, "Together Carson and Crisler formed a sort of iron sisterhood." Her papers are held at the University of Washington. A very good or better book with light rubbing to corners; lacking the dust jacket.
Sinopsis

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.
