Hardcover. Condition: Very Good Plus. Dust Jacket Condition: Near Fine. First Edition. 2003. xviii, 332pp. B&W illustrations. Pages browning. Both the book and unclipped dust jacket are otherwise in excellent condition with no inscriptions, and all contents are tight and clean. "Environmentalist and naturalist Sir John Lister-Ka…ye, founder of the Aigas Nature Reserve, writes about his life in the glens, the wildlife that surrounds him and the primeval magical exchange that takes place between man and nature once so central to ancient civilisations. He describes finding the ruined 19th-century estate that is to become Aigas and taking it over and turning it into a going concern as a Nature Reserve and Educational Centre, and his own personal motivation, following the Torrey Canyon oil spillage and natural disasters in the 1960s, to become an environmentalist. Interspersed within the narrative detail are engaging and enlightening descriptions of flora and fauna. John Lister-Kaye carries the reader very effectively into the minute worlds he observes and backs up keen scrutiny with facts and figures.".

Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Good. First Edition. Burroughs provides an 8-page introduction to this collection of "Outdoor Scenes and Thoughts From the Writings of Walt Whitman," as compiled by Waldo R. Browne. Says Burroughs, in part, "As a poet he did not specialize upon flowers or birds or scenery,…or any of the mere prettiness of nature, but he thought of wholes, he tried himself by wholes, he emulated the insouciance, the impartiality, the mass movements of the earth." Trace shelf wear; a very near fine copy in a good dust jacket: chipped at both spine ends and rear corners, and fragile at the folds. Uncommon in the original edition; scarce in any jacket. Unless otherwise noted, our first editions are first printings.
