5.0 out of 5 stars Fabulous Nature Essays, February 1, 2001

"bjorn94" (Provo, Utah, USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Being in the World: An Environmental Reader for Writers (Paperback)

We used this fine collection of essays in a college course called "Wilderness Writing" where we camped, hiked, snowshoed, skiied, mtn. biked, etc and then wrote essays about our experiences. This book was the cornerstone of our class. It is chok full of the best essays on the world around us. When I have time to read I find myself coming back to this collection again and again. It is the finest collection of nature essays I've read. I still find myself going to it to help me teach my first-year college writing course. This is a keeper!

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)

This review is from: Being in the World: An Environmental Reader for Writers (Paperback)

I really enjoy this book! I plan on keeping it forever! Amazon was the only place I could find it because it is out of print. The used copy was what I expected. I paid $13 something for it. It did have some highlighting of random passages and a crease on the cover, but was well worth it overall. It is incredible all the environmental stories and essays this book has! It introduced me to some writers I have never heard of that I really enjoy! A must for nature lovers!
