Sobre este item
NY: Charles Scribner's Sons, 1980. First edition. Hardcover. Near fine/Near fine. An association copy, inscribed on the first blank: "For Joe Meeker, with best wishes, Victor B. Scheffer." Uncommon signed.
Scheffer was a marine biologist who worked for thirty years for government agencies, including the National Park Service, Forest Service, and Fish and Wildlife Service, before he moved to academia at the University of Washington in 1969 and devoted himself to popular writing. He won the John Burroughs Medal for natural history writing in 1970 for The Year of the Whale. This book is his memoir looking back on fifty years of wildlife research and across the wildlands he roamed, largely coastal. A late chapter reflects on his writing.
Joseph Meeker was a biologist who then turned to literary criticism, earning a PhD in English Literature, and he is credited with originating the idea of ecocriticism, which he first called literary ecology in his influential book *The Comedy of Survival: Studies in Literary Ecology* (1972). Meeker and Scheffer both lived along Puget Sound.
Blue buckram, silver lettering. A near fine book with a touch of edge wear in a near fine, price-clipped jacket with the same. .

Sobre Rural Hours
Rural Hours (formerly Wood + River = Books, est. 2019) specializes in ecology, natural history, nature writing, the environment, environmental literature, and contemporary essay, with a special passion for association copies and notable inscriptions. We draw our name from the popular-but-then-forgotten book by Susan Fenimore Cooper (published in 1850), generally considered the first work of environmental creative nonfiction by a woman in the U.S. We are interested in challenging and expanding the canon of environmental literature and finding books that tell remarkable stories and illuminate the tradition of writing about place and natural history.
