5.0 out of 5 stars
Out of many anthologies, this may be the best,
By Magpie "Ink is Evidence" (Pittsburgh, PA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Norton Book of Nature Writing (College Edition) (Paperback)
Several nature and environmental literature anthologies are on the market, and a small handful of these could be considered well rounded. Many are only contemporary, or they only focus on the foundational texts. In this anthology, Norton does what it does best, providing a broad selection of literature that spans almost 300 years, including diverse authors (men and women and a number of ethnicities). While many of the works are ones we expect to see in a nature anthology (Muir, Abbey, Stegner), other authors that are not found in many anthologies really make this book stand apart. Such authors include Janisse Ray, Louise Erdrich, and Doug Peacock. Can these authors be found in other anthologies? Yes. Can they all be found in one? No. The closest I've come is American Earth, which is a gorgeous book (my personal favorite in my own collection), but it comes with an environmental and political agenda (which are fine if that's what you're teaching) and doesn't have quite the span that the Norton book has. I'm looking at these books from the perspective of a college Environmental Literature and Environmental Writing course perspective, and I believe Norton covers the basics and beyond for undergraduates. In a graduate classroom, I would suggest a more specialized text.

This review is from: The Norton Book of Nature Writing (College Edition) (Paperback)
Well, it was a shame to discover that this book is the same as the other Norton Nature Writing book. Only the college edition is $10 more expensive and absolutely the same. Tsk! Tsk. I have accidentally ordered the same book twice and been charged more for one than the other. How does that work. Concerning the work. I am considering ordering it for a college text--the cheaper version.
