Hardcover. Condition: Good. Dust Jacket Condition: No dustjacket. Set down on the spot and in season, it is a richly varied interweaving of discoveries, reflections, original observations, remembrances, firsthand experiences and fresh insights into nature. A companion volume to Teale's A Naturalist Buys an Old Farm, it brings vividly to life a year of days at Trail Wood, his New England homestead.When you come to the end of these daily walks, they will remain in your mind as sharply defined as experiences of your won. You will remember the encounters with such unusual creatures as the loneliness bird, the cold-tailed squirrel, the butterfly swallowed by a flower, the cat that went hunting with a beagle. You will recall the beauty, the strangeness, the surprises, the thoughtful digressions along the way. Edwin Way Teale (1899 ? 1980) was an American naturalist, photographer and writer. Teale's works serve as primary source material documenting environmental conditions across North America from 1930?1980. He is perhaps best known for his series The American Seasons, four books documenting over 75,000 miles of automobile travel across North America following the changing seasons. In 1942 he wrote Byways to Adventure: A Guide to Nature Hobbies as well as Near Horizons, which received the 1943 John Burroughs Medal for distinguished natural history writing. Teale was president of the Thoreau Society, and was awarded the Ecology Award from the Massachusetts Horticultural Society and the Conservation Medal from the New England Wildflower Society. He was also an elected fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science and the New York Academy of Sciences, and an associate of the Royal Photographic Society. He has been called one of the twentieth century?s most influential naturalists because of his ability to combine the artistic, philosophical, and scientific in his writing. Naturalists, conservationists, writers, and reviewers have ranked him among the renowned American naturalists who preceded him, including John Muir, John Burroughs, and Henry David Thoreau.
