Sobre este artículo
NY: Harmony Books, 1995. First edition. Hardcover. Near fine/Near fine.
Inscribed on the front free endpaper: "For Tim Walsh, with all best wishes, Bill Green (April 1996)." Uncommon signed. This book won the John Burroughs Medal for natural history writing in 1996. Green is a geochemist, a professor emeritus at Miami University in Ohio, and this book shares his science and self-discovery in Antartica where he studied lakes devoid of life. From the jacket: "Water, Ice and Stone is a rare achievement in the literature of science. It finds spiritual exhilaration rooted in the elements of the earth; it conveys the joy and passion that scientists feel for their work; and it elegantly brides the gulf that separates the literary and scientific sensibilities." A very near fine copy with faint soiling to lower edges of paper boards; in a near fine jacket with some light creasing to top of spine, one pinhead scratch to front outer corner. With a gold "John Burroughs Association" award winner sticker on the lower rear cover (an odd place for it).

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.
