Sobre este item
Thomas Nelson, 1975. 1st Edition. Hardcover. Near Fine/Very Good. Movingly inscribed on front paste down in blue ink by Helen Ross Russell: "To Ann Foster, Happy Birthday 1979. It was wonderful to have you with us when you were a pretty little golden-haired toddler. It was a matter of great pleasure to know you and Scott as children growing up. It is a time of rejoicing for us today to know that you are a thinking, responsible teenager who had a bad siege and has made a splendid recovery. Love, The Russells." While the occasion isn't quite clear, seems like a rite of passage. Also signed on the title page by both Helen Ross Russell and her husband Robert S Russell, an art professor who contributed the smoke prints in the book. Helen is an important mid-century environmentalist, an early female biologist-conservationist and promoter of environmental education. She was a professor of biology and chair of the science department of what's now Fitchburg State College in Massachusetts. Many of her outdoorsy books were for young adults. This volume is an early and literary guide to foraging before it was all the rage, as it is today. Uncommon signed. Near fine because the upper spine is ever so slightly slant; otherwise fine. In a very good price-clipped jacket with wear to corners and some rubbing to the all-green rear panel. // Wood (+) River (=) Books specializes in place-based and environmental literature, with a special passion for association copies and notable inscriptions.

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.
