A propos de cet article

A family association copy, inscribed in blue pen on title page: "Aunt Blanche--with much love from the 'junior author.' Dorothy E. Snyder." A thoroughly annotated list of species with records of specimens, bibliography, and more. Approx. 290 pages. Foreword by Ernest S. Dodge, the director of the Peabody Museum. Dorothy Eastman Snyder was the curator of natural history at the Peabody from 1951 to 1969. The biography in the description of her papers held there describes her as "the first woman elected to the American Ornithological Union and the '600 Club.'" Our understanding is that Florence Merriam Bailey was the first woman fellow in the AOU, but perhaps there's some distinction in "elected." The 600 club is the rare group of people who have seen 600 bird species in North America (though with the invention of rare bird alerts, etc., 700 birds has now become the rarefied mark). In any case, Snyder is a pioneering woman in natural history, and her quip in the inscription about being a "junior author" seems to directly get at the extent to which she may have been under recognized. A very good book in blue wraps with a few spots to cover, short splits along front cover at head and tail of spine, and one faint crease slant across the rear cover. // Wood (+) River (=) Books specializes in ecology, natural history, nature writing, the environment, and environmental literature, with a special passion for association copies and notable inscriptions.…

Description de la boutique

Visit us at www.ruralhours.com. Rural Hours (formerly Wood River Books) specializes in ecology, natural history, nature and science writing, the environment, ecopoetics, contemporary essay, and literary journalism, with a special passion for association copies and notable inscriptions. Our name is an homage to Susan Fenimore Cooper's book Rural Hours (1850), considered the first work of environmental nonfiction by an American woman. The daughter of James Fenimore Cooper, Susan Cooper was also an accomplished watercolorist, and her birds from Rural Hours populate these pages. Her rendering of a "chimney swallow" (now known as a swift) serves as our logo and mascot: sleek and elevated, part sky and part city street. Rural Hours is mainly a project of writer and teacher Nick Neely. Along with a pair of MFA degrees in nonfiction and poetry, Nick has a Master's in Literature and Environment from the University of Nevada, Reno. He has much expertise and years of experience in the field of eco-writing. His first book, Coast Range, was a finalist for John Burroughs Medal for nature writing and his second book, Alta California--about a 12-week trek he made along the California coast--was a Los Angeles Times bestseller. Check out the "Rambles" page for eventual short essays from him on environmental lit, new books, and more. Rural Hours is a young venture, but we aspire to be among the leaders in the field of rare and interesting eco-writing. We believe, emphatically, that environmental literature and its preservation is in the service of the preservation of the world. In addition to helping serious collectors and institutions build their libraries and archives, our goal is to curate a substantial "house collection" of environmental writing for public display on this site and beyond, one that shows the evolution of the genre(s). That will be a perennial work in progress. We hope to draw a deep, explorable map of environmental writing that traces the lineage and connections between authors and artists determined to render and protect the earth, locally and globally. At the same time, we would like to challenge the usual contours of the "environmental literature" canon and promote a more diverse and inclusive array of voices; in that way, our longterm goal is to excavate the past and curate toward the future. Rural Hours also hopes to eventually have an open shop and gallery space, but for now we are only online. You've come to the right the place. Enjoy poking around, and then head out for a walk.…
