Reviews
Copyright 1989 Reed Business Information, Inc.
Lyon has compiled a representative selection of American natural history writers, from precolonial to contempory times. In his excellent introduction to this anthology, he traces the development of the nature essay, from early French and Spanish explorers to modern ecologists. He concludes with a massive bibliography that will keep the diligent student reading for quite some time. In a work of this kind, it is always easy (even fun) to quarrel with the selections: Why no Emerson, Gary Snyder, or deep ecologists? Many of Lyon's choices, especially some of the early writers, will be new to natural history buffs, and his introduction gives perspective to contemporary writing. Recommended for libraries with an active natural history collection.
