Sobre este artículo
Washington D.C.: Island Press, 1994. First edition. Hardcover. Fine/Near fine. An association copy, inscribed on the title page: "For Martha Huie, E.O. Wilson." With his classic sketch of an ant. Uncommon signed. Martha Hunt Robertson Huie was the wife of prominent journalist and writer William Bradford Huie, author of 21 books and known for his World War II and Civil Rights reporting. She was an art and art history professor and an outdoors-woman. Wilson and the Huies were Alabama natives (both William Huie and Wilson are members of the Alabama Writers Hall of Fame), and perhaps that was the connection. This book is Wilson's late-in-life autobiography, describing "both his growth as a scientist and the evolution of science he has defined." He was one of the most essential ecologists of the twentieth-century, and he was also twice the winner of the Pulitzer Prize. Blurbs by Alan Lightman, Peter Matthiessen, Diane Ackerman, and Barry Lopez. A fine book in a near fine jacket with some rubbing.

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.
