Add to basketUsed/Nature and Community. Good Condition. Some sun fade on the front edge close to the binding of cover. Some surface cracks along the binding. A slight furl with some wear along the edges of cover. Pages are crisp and clean with some slight age staining. Highlighting on the very outside of pages on the bottom of the book. Thomas Lyon's splendid anthology offers a powerful synthesis of American ideas on nature, along with a first-rate set of essays of his own on the history of United States naturalism. These essays are alone worth the price of the book; so is Lyon's detailed chronology of events in the natural history of the continent. The anthology proper begins with an excerpt from William Wood's New England's Prospect (1634), a properly awed account of "the kingly lion and the strong-armed bear," moves on to great but little-known naturalist-explorers like William Bartram, John James Audubon, and Thomas Nuttall, and ends with modern giants like Aldo Leopold and Edward Abbey. Lyon's enterprise and unfailing good taste has yielded not only a model of literary selection and commentary, but a book that celebrates the best of the North American continent and what there is to protect.
