Sobre este artículo
NY: Henry Holt, 1997. First edition. Hardcover. Fine/Very good. An association copy, inscribed on the title page to a longtime colleague: "For Bill Becker, whose loyalty and support sustained over many years. With admiration and esteem, Linda Lear, Sept. 29, 1997." Uncommon signed. William H. Becker was a a fellow professor of history at George Washington University, where Linda Lear earned her PhD in history in 1974 and then returned to the faculty in 1978. They were members of history department together for decades. Becker mainly wrote about the history of business and economics. Lear's book is the definitive biography of Rachel Carson, and it received the Margaret W. Rossiter History of Women in Science Prize from the History of Science Society. She has continued to write about Carson and has become the foremost steward and champion of her legacy. A fine book in a very good jacket on account of a crease to top of front flap and a quarter inch tear to top corner at flap fold.

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.
