Because the tidal salt marsh is neither land nor sea, life within its confines must be equipped with a marvelous adaptability, not only to the changing seasons but to the daily rise and fall of the tides which alernately flood and expose its sruface. David Gates provides an uncommonly intimate examination of this fertile habitat, its development since the last ice age, the interaction of its plants and animals and the abiding importance of the total ecosystem. The more than 100 drawings by Edward and Marcia Norman bring us still closer to the flourishing flora and fauna in and around this special environment.

The panthers of the Florida Everglades are darker, more distinctly reddish-brown, than the caths to be found to the north and west, where they are known variously as mountain lions, pumas, cougars, screamers, and catamounts. Like them, the Everglades panther is sleek and strangely mysterious, equipped for survival with devastatingly sharp claws and teeth, able to stalk and bring down a thousand-pound horse. No wonder it figures in the legends of the Seminoles and other Indian tribes.

Of all things under the sun that a man may love, the living world he loves most purely. In a lifetime's divotion to it there is no self-interest. Men so devoted tell us of their well-companioned days, but they are reticent about their best reward. In Nature nothing is insignificant, nothing ignoble, nothing sinful, nothing repetitious. All the music is great music, all the lines have meaning.

Drawing on his extensive scientific research and study of Papago folklore, as well as his years of work among the Desert People in village gardening and nutrition programs, Nabhan portrays a desert-adapted way of life that has persisted despite the pressures of modern civilization."

"The five deserts of North America--the Chihuahuan, Sonoran, Navahoan, Mohavean, and the Great Basin--extend from central Mexico almost to the border of Canada. To be called a desert, a geographical area much satisfy certain conditions as to weather, and although the five in North America have many characteristics in common, the author shows that each desert has its definite individuality in its plan and animal life, climate, land formation, and geologic history. Nondetailed mamps give a quick view of the general boundaries, and the text suggests routes useful for the traveler, the student, and the explorer."

"....the late Edwin Way Teale, zealous scientist, superb photographer, and literary-naturalist...spent summer and holiday vavations during his formative years at the northern Indiana dune country farm of his grandparents. In this nostalgic account of his boyhood at Lone Oak Farm on the borderland of the picturesque dunes, he gives us an authentic picture of the way we were, the way we would like to have been. This is late pioneer America. Teale's grandparents, the Ways, were wonderful people, literate, colorful, intelligent, and rustic. Everyone should have had them for grandparents, or at least should have the chance to meet them in Teale's beautiful memoir."

He found that the desert was exactly right for him--that he was healthier and happier in its bright, dry air than ever before. So he settled in Tucson and began inquiring into the habits of other creatures who were, like himself, at home in the desert..." and for five years he gathered the material which forms the basis of this book.

"'The Cruise of the Corwin" is the story of a voyage John Muir took in 1881 on the steamer 'Thomas Corwin,' which set sail from San Francisco for arctic waters off the coast of Alaska in search of the 'Jeannette,' as ship tragicall7y lost two years before. 'The Jeanette' was never found, but Muir's account of his voyage conveys the excitement of far and little-known horizons. Here we find Muir sketching glaciers and examining rare flora; discovering Wrangell Island off the coast of Siberia and claiming it for the United States; observing seal, walrus, whale, and reindeer; exploring the wind-swept islands of the Bering sea; and invistigating a 'village of the dead,' where whole clans perished of starvation in the unforgining landscape. Pieced together by Muir's literary executor, William F. Bade', from newspaper correspondence, published scientific articles, and unpublished journals after Muir's death in 1914, "The Cruise of the Corwin' is a vivid account of the last stretches of the American frontier."

"In 1914, when Muir turned to assembling his Alaskan material, he had reached the last year of his life. This new edition, issued more than sixty years later, appears at a time when Alaska, and particularly the struggle to preserve areas of the Alaskan wilderness that so attracted Muir a century ago, are much in the headlines. The concern for such areas, the desire to protect them from exploitation, the interest in their welfare felt by many today is, in a special way, a legacy left by the life and work of John Muir." from the introduction by Edwin Way Teale

"Even though Krutch saw the future comine and knew that little could be done about it, it never stopped him from communicating his discoveries in precise and caring descriptions or enlivening a rugged and formidable peninsula with a personality that no one had bothered to look for before. If remaining a worthwhile enjoyable work over a period of time is one of the definitions of 'a classic,' then this is indeed just6 that. I am very thankful that Krutch was there when he was and wrote this book that is still such a delight to read." Ann Zwinger

It describes the movement of Wester civilization by taking one resource, wood, the principal building material and fuel of past societies, and examining how societies'need for new sources of wood has been an important cause of large population movements throughout history."

"While one doesn't have to be interested in birds to read 'Lifebirds' with pleasure, Levine attempts to seduce the reader into the birding experience through a series of autobiographical memoirs with birds at their center. It is aimed, then, not at the experts, except as experts may find in it echoes of their own birding enthusiasms and indications of how a journeyman experiences their more rigorously constructed world. Rather, it is aimed at those whose love of life has been or might yet be wonderfully enhanced by encounters with birds--visible in their backyards or in the wilderness--and their magincal songs and glorious colors."

Gathered shortly after Muir's death by family friend William Frederic Bade', these passages are learned, funny, exalted, and quirky in one amazing turn after another."

"If, as Mr. van Loon said, the entire population of the earth could be all but lost in the Canyon, it is no wonder that a few thousands leave lots of unoccupied space....I looked across the ten miles to the opposite rim, down the successive terraces to the inner gorge at whose invisible bottom the great river still runs after having cut through a mile of stone, and then at the wall of an opposite promontory on my own side...I checked the dividing lines between the successive formations of the geological--the Permian limestone on which I sat, the hundreds of feet of sandstone below it, the great Redwall of Carboniferous age, the resisting plateau of Cambrian sediments, and finally the black wall of Archean Schist."

"Henry Thoreau once proposed 'a book of the seasons, each page of which should be written in its own season and out-of-doors.' A century and a quarter later Edwin Way Teale, one of America's foremost nature writers, did exactly that in 'A Walk Through the Year.' Set down on the spot and in season, it is a rechly varied interweaving of discoveries, reflection, original observations, remembrances, first-hand experiences, and fresh insights into nature."

"As a nation we want convenience and abundance, but we want it without risk. Environmental protection was designed to mitigate that risk, to measure it and make it tolerable, to guarantee a minimum level of quality of life....In effect, Americans have shown a tendency to be 'green' when it is inexpensive--economically, socially, and culturally--but a reluctance to collectively sacrifice convenience and even the smallest of material advantages to assure a 'cleaner' future. This is the paradox of the history of the environmental movement: its call, its challenges, and its limits rolled into one."

"At the book's center is the heartening saga of replenishment. Since the 'forever wild' amendment to the New York Consitution was enacted in 1894, a park of public and private holdings--larger than either Massachusetts or New Jersey--was created to protect what remained of a land decimated by loggers. Within a hundred years almost every species of wildlife has returned to inhabit millions of acres of replenished forests and freshwaters. And as we turn into the twenty-first century, we come to realize why many Americans will be traveling east, not west, to experience nature in the wild."

"He went to the Cape out of curiosity, but in the course of his travel a great thing happened: Thoreau, the woodsman and landlubber, discovered the sea. 'Wishing to get a better view than I had yet had of the ocear' was his stated objective in heading for the Cape. It was a modest wish, but its fulfillment gives this book power, and it seems to me that it is also why it is such a rhapsodic book and so joyous. Thoreau discovered that the only way to know the sea was to study it from the shore. In the narrative he semed to raise beachcoming to a priesthood." Paul Theroux in his Introduction to the book

"Literary naturalists trancend political boundaries, social concerns, and historical milieus; they speak for what Henry Beston called the 'other nations' of the planet. Their message acquires more weight and urgency as wild places become increasingly scarce. This series, then, celebrates both a wonderful body of work and a fundamental truth: that nature counts as a model, a guide to how we can live in the world."

"Major threats to animals and the habitats on which they depend resulted from actions by human agents. Rampant human destruction of ecosystems on which many species of plants and animals depend produced radical environmental changes and caused an almost unprecedented rate of extinction of species in recent years....If a concern for the rest of life is part of human nature, if part of our culture flows from wild nature, then on that basis alone it is fundamentall wrong to extinguish other life forms."

"Though Rachel Carson's last book, 'Silent Spring,' may have changed the course of history, she was not a heart a crusader; once in a lifetime, she remarked, was enough....Yet fully to appreciate her work one should remember that, in her intense feeling for man's relationship to the living world around him, she was ahead of her time. When she began writing, the term 'environment' had few of connotations it has today. Conservation was not yet a political force. To the public at large the word 'ecology'--derived from the Greek for 'habitation'--was unknow as was the concept it stood for. This concept, however, is central to everything that Rachel Carson wrote. Few of us have dwelt with such awareness and understanding in the house of life."

"There is a fifth coast of North America, one that lies not at the edge like the other four, not along the Atlantic or the Pacific or the Caribbean or the ice-swept, lonely Arctic, but at the center, along the mid-continental line....It is a valuable coast, cradling a fistful of great port cities and dozens of smaller ones along its more-than-10,000-mile length. But it is also a 'freshwater' coast, the coast of those five enormous, closely connected bodies of water we call the Great Lakes, and because of this it has been belittled, abused,misunderstood--and now may be about to die."
