A propos de cet article

Association copy, inscribed on the front end free paper to Ezekiel ("Zeke") and Katherine ("Kay") Dumke, prominent Utah philanthropists who gave to institutions including the University of Utah, Westminster College, Weber State University, and Red Butte Garden (the state arboretum on the University of Utah campus). Zeke Dumke was also for a time the president of the Utah Museum of Natural History, where Terry Tempest Williams was a curator at the time of this book's publication (later she became its naturalist-in-residence). In the 1960s, Zeke additionally helped establish the boundaries for Canyonlands National Park; conservation and connecting people with the outdoors were part of the Dumkes' philosophy. The full-page inscription reads in Williamss elegant script: "January 10, 1985, Dearest Zeke & Kay, This book comes to you with all the love in the world. I feel as though we are family. You know this country of red rock and ravens. You know the gifts of pen space and clouds. These stories, I hear them whispering through the fingers of sage. To all that binds us. Love, Terry." Also signed in full on the half-title page. A fine book in a very near fine dust jacket (unusual for this title). The jackets only blemish to speak of is, on the front flap, a dogeared upper corner and the residue from a sales-price sticker. Just a touch of fade to the books lower boards, but still fine. The interior pages are crisp and white as salt. The authors first book for adults. With illustrations by Clifford Brycelea. Please inquire for photos.…

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.…
