Spectacular photo book
This is one of the most beautifully illustrated photo books I've ever seen. Ranging from the submicroscopic to the macroscopic and even cosmic in scale, the book presents hundreds of spectacular photos of different aspects of our world and universe. They range from the geometrical perfection of a matrix of metallic crystals, to the delicate tracery of a microbial colony, to amorphous, bloblike, ...

Nature's New Deal: The Civilian Conservation Corps and the Roots of the American Environmental Movement
Neil M. Maher

Oxford University Press, USA, 2007

The Great Depression coincided with a wave of natural disasters, including the Dust Bowl and devastating floods of the Ohio and Mississippi rivers. Recovering from these calamities--and preventing their reoccurrence--was a major goal of the New Deal. In Nature's New Deal, Neil M. Maher examines the history of one of Franklin D. Roosevelt's boldest and most successful experiments, the Civilian Conservation Corps, describing it as a turning ...

Tom Long

Commonwealth Editions, 2003

The best and most fun of all the Nature Books I've Ever Read
I am an avid nature lover, but I am not an expert and never hope to be. Through Mr. Long's extraordinary book I have found things out about my backyard and surroundings that I never knew existed! The book is written in concise layman's terms with a touch of extraordinary wit, humor and great information. The illustrations by Mr. Johnson are great works of art that add so much to this delightful ...

Gretchen Daily, Katherine Ellison

Island Press, 2003

Both a business and environmental book
The New Economy Of Nature: The Quest To Make Conservation Profitable is both a business and environmental book. Gretchen C. Daily and Katherine Ellison study the ways that human self-interest can be harnessed to protect Mother Earth, as pure philanthropy combined with government regulations simply are not enough by themselves to stand against naked human greed and unchecked commercial ...

Storey Publishing, LLC, 2003

Should have ordered sooner
I should have ordered this book sooner. It gives great ideas on how to keep a nature journal with scetches and notes. I have been keeping a journal for years and this book sent me in a different direction that I am really enjoying.

Granta 102: The New Nature Writing (Granta: The Magazine of New Writing)

Grove Press, Granta, 2008

For as long as people have been writing, they have been writing about nature. But nature?as we know it?is changing. Economic migration, overpopulation, and climate change are transforming the natural world into something unfamiliar. As our conception and experience of nature changes, so too does the way we write about it. In this special issue Jonathan Raban goes on the road in the American West; Kathleen Jamie dissects a human colon; Matthew ...

A New Covenant With Nature: Notes on the End of Civilization and the Renewal of Culture

2 reviews
Richard Heinberg

Quest Books, 1996

Broad-range discussion, totally grounded on fundamental questions.
So broad yet rightly detailed -- a rare combination in modern writing. The book cannot be simplified into one idea, but the big question seems to be, are our cultural choices inhuman and even worse? Clearly and sincerely written, so that anyone anywhere on the spectrum of opinion can appreciate the thoughts and motivations of the writer.

The New Nature of Maps: Essays in the History of Cartography

1 review
J. B. Harley

The Johns Hopkins University Press, 2002

Don't bother
Marxist and post-modernistic verbiage from a cartographic historian who ought to have stuck to his area of expertise. This book is a mish-mash of politically correct essays on the evils of imperialism, racism, eurocentrism, etc. as expressed in maps. Harley was never one to let a trendy leftist ideology go unabsorbed and it shows in these tepid and unreadable essays. A fine example of what's ...

Glenn Scherer

Appalachian Mountain Club Books, 2003

Beautiful!
The most wonderful little book. It is easy to read, use, and follow with simple maps of the trails, as well as a locator map to find a trail within the state. Very well organized. The description of the trails include a little bit of history as well. I considered myself knowledgeable about the great outdoors in my area, until I got this book. It has opened my eyes to many beautiful marshlands, ...

Empire's Nature: Mark Catesby's New World Vision (Omohundro Institute of Early American History & Culture)
Amy R. W. Meyers

The University of North Carolina Press, 1999

Completed in 1747, Mark Catesby's Natural History of Carolina, Florida, and the Bahama Islands was the first major illustrated publication on the flora and fauna of Britain's American colonies. Together with his Hortus Britanno-Americanus (1763), which detailed plant species that might be transplanted successfully to British soil, Catesby's Natural History exerted an important, though often overlooked, influence on the development of art, ...

Theodore Steinberg

Cambridge University Press, 2004

Nature Incorporated explores the Industrial Revolution in New England from an environmental perspective. The advent of the industrial age brought about significant changes in gender and class relations, and also in work and culture.

Focusing on the legendary Waltham-Lowell style mills, this book examines how these textile factories brought water under their ...

Nature Guide to the New Zealand Forest
John Dawson, Rob Lucas, 2000

New Zealand's native forests are rich and fascinating ecosystems, and the interactions between the various plants and animals are as interesting as the individuals themselves. This book is an ecological field guide. In one volume, it provides identification for a range of common plants (trees and shrubs, vines and epiphytes, ferns, grasses, fungi and mosses) and animals (birds, frogs, lizards, insects and bats). It also offers insights into the ...

The New Economy of Nature

9 reviews
Gretchen Daily, Katherine Ellison

Island Press, 2002

Not Just Capitalism -- Natural Capitalism
This book is great. I love its title, a yang to Paul Hawken's Ecology of Commerce yin. One of the book's other online reviewers prompted me to write, because I suspect the authors' predominant theme somehow got past that reviewer. The idea is not simply that capitalism can save the world, but that well-directed, well-informed market forces will finally come to understand that beneath the bottom ...

The WPA Guide to New York City: The Federal Writers' Project Guide to 1930s New York (American Guide)

7 reviews
William H. Whyte

New Press, 1995

fascinating read
Not for reading straight through, the guide is an amazing resource. Anybody living in or visiting New York regularly will be fascinated to look up their favourite (or least favourite) neighbourhoods to see what they were like in 1939. The maps are beautiful (the photos less interesting) and the text is elegantly and lyrically written. It's a bit of an archeological game at times, as you find ...

The New Nature of History: Knowledge, Evidence, Language

1 review
Arthur Marwick

Lyceum Books, 2001

A labor of love by a loyal practitioner of history
When Arthur Marwick sat down to draft The New Nature of History he likely thought back to a time three decades earlier, when he penned The Nature of History (Alfred A. Knopf, 1971) to confront the "historical relativists," with their "varieties of history, embodying the notion that all great historians are essentially equal, though they may find it impossible to agree upon any one interpretation ...
