Nature's Kindred Spirits
Author: James I. McClintock
Publisher: Univ of Wisconsin Press
ISBN: 029914173X
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 200
Book Description
In Nature's Kindred Spirits James McClintock shows how their mystical experiences with the wild led to dramatic conversions in their thinking and behavior. By embracing the ecstasy of nature, they reject modern alienation and spiritual confusion. From Aldo Leopold, America’s most important conservationist and author of the classic A Sand County Almanac, to Pulitzer Prize winners Annie Dillard and Gary Snyder and defenders of the desert Joseph Wood Krutch and Edward Abbey, these writers share a common vision that harkens back to Henry David Thoreau and John Muir. To nineteenth-century Romantic ideals, they add the authority of modern ecological science. Collectively they have elevated nature’s importance in American culture, shaping the growth of the environmental movement and influencing American environmental policies. Widely admired among educated readers but relatively neglected by the literary establishment, these writers unite the experiential with the metaphysical, the ordinary with the sacred, the personal with the public, and the natural with the social. Using ecology as a touchstone, McClintock further draws connections among science, politics, religion, and philosophy to create an enlightening overview of the work of these “kindred spirits.”

Book Description
Annie married Ed Bauer, reliable and stable, knowing that she would always love Hugh. Annie was a fighter. If she couldn’t have Hugh, she could be his neighbour and social equal. So she fought her way up—up in the world of business, up First Hill—until she made Seattle’s first families stand aside for her. Then tragedy struck, and in her grief Annie returned to the waterfront. When Deming’s business began to slide he went to Annie for help. She gave him all of her savings and the same sort of reckless love she had given him years before. Hugh never forgot what he owed to this gallant woman. Mary Brinker Post has created in Annie Jordan, a girl from Skid Road who knew what she wanted, an unforgettable character, and she has done a superb job in depicting all the color, glitter, and lawlessness of early Seattle.

Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 336
Book Description
Annabelle Aster doesn't bow to convention—not even that of space and time—which makes the 1890s Kansas wheat field that has appeared in her modern-day San Francisco garden easy to accept. Even more peculiar is Elsbeth, the truculent schoolmarm who sends Annie letters through the mysterious brass mailbox perched on the picket fence that now divides their two worlds. Annie and Elsbeth's search for an explanation to the hiccup in the universe linking their homes leads to an unsettling discovery—and potential disaster for both of them. Together they must solve the mystery of what connects them before one of them is convicted of a murder that has yet to happen...and yet somehow already did.

Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 157
Book Description
He and Annie have been famous, nobodies, and mingled with the rich and crazy. Through it all, they've been passionate lovers and fast friends. But when Annie dies of cancer, Herbie is lost. If you think this is going to be a tragic tale about grief, think again. Herbie is too cantankerous, sly, and charming to keel over. Enter Olive, a beautiful bartender who just might be a great actress; Candy, Herbie and Annie's neurotic daughter; and a woman named Billy, the tough-talking golf pro who teaches Herbie more about his psyche than about his lousy swing. After Annie is a hilarious and beautifully rendered novel about a man off the rails, battling through the middle-aged wilderness days he hoped never to face alone. It is a book that examines the inevitable passing of time with clarity and wry brilliance, and a story of surprising power.
