Sobre este item
E. P. Dutton/Seymour Lawrence, 1984. 1st Edition. Hardcover. Near Fine/Near Fine. Russell Chatham. Association copy, inscribed on the half title page for naturalist-author and MacArthur Genius Grant-recipient Gary Paul Nabhan (though he isn't named as the recipient): "O Corvus, dove looking crow, yrs, Jim Harrison." With a drawing of a crow/dove that seems like a self-portrait of sorts (based on its familiar eye). The inscription is likely a reference to the novel's main character, Robert Corvus Strang. From the library of Gary Paul Nabhan, known in particular for his writing on Indigenous populations and ethnobotany in the Southwest and is a winner of the John Burroughs Medal for nature writing among many other honors. Nabhan and Harrison both lived in Patagonia, Arizona (Harrison part-time) and were friends for more than twenty years. Nabhan wrote a touching remembrance of Harrison after his death, detailing their lunch a week before and some of their more surprising connections (Nabhan's cousin had been Harrison's college roommate and introduced Harrison to his wife). Nabhan writes, "Harrison was more than just another pretty face, skilled angler, hedonistic hunter, and bizarre story-teller: he had a deeply moral view of the right ways to treat the creatures of the seas, the streams the farmsteads and desert grasslands of this planet, and he minced no words when describing the ugly consequences of treating creation the wrong way." A very near fine book in a near fine jacket with some rubbing. A nice association between standout contemporary environmental writers. // 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.

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.
