About This Item
W. W. Norton & Company, 1987. Hardcover. Like New/Very Good. 79x15x127. In the mid-70s, a young field biologist with a Ph.D. in wildlife ecology built her own cabin in the Adirondacks and in her sensitive account, Woodswoman discussed the virtues of living alone in the woods as compared with the stresses of city life. Before long, "civilization" had intruded and LaBastille moved deeper into the woods. In her new book she describes the building of a second cabin, Thoreau II, at a cost of $138.38, and includes chapters on nature and environmental concerns, particularly the ravages of acid rain. Her eloquent message is straightforward and inspiring and echoes that of Thoreau himself In wildness is the preservation of the world. Anne LaBastille (1933 â 2011) was an American author, ecologist, and photographer. She was the author of more than a dozen books and also wrote over 150 articles and over 25 scientific papers. She was honored by the World Wildlife Fund and the Explorers Club for her pioneering work in wildlife ecology in the United States and Guatemala. LaBastille also took many wildlife photographs, many of which were published in nature publications.
