Sobre este artículo
Harpercollins, 1983. 1st Edition. Hardcover. Very Good/Good. Association copy, inscribed on the half-title page to naturalist-author, MacArthur Genius Grant-recipient Gary Paul Nabhan, known in particular for his writing on Indigenous populations and their ethnobotany in the Southwest: : "For Gary & Caroline--Signing a book that has meant so much is difficult--But perhaps time there [in Baja California] together heals all possibilities. With love, AHZ." Caroline was Nabhan's second wife. Zwinger is also a fellow winner of the John Burroughs Medal for nature writing. A very good plus book with some mild sunning to edges, and a former price written in ink at top title page; in a good dust jacket with prominent chips to upper edges, crease to flaps (well loved). A great association copy. A great association copy, even apart from the cameo. We encourage you to look up Nabhan's touching tribute to Zwinger on Orion magazine's blog after her death in 2014 ("The beauty that her drawings and narratives evoked were enough to quell my rants, and I began classes in botany, scientific illustration, and creative writing because of her.") // 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.
