Description

Holt, Rinehart and Winston, New York, 1963. 1st Edition. Hardcover. Near Fine/Very Good. Association copy, inscribed to Pulitzer Prize-winning novelist Herman Wouk on the first blank: "For Herman -- who gave me encouragement when I needed it! Stewart." A nice inscription and association. Wouk won the Pulitzer for The Caine Mutiny in 1951 and is best known for his other historical novels about World War II, as well as nonfiction about Judaism. Udall's A Quiet Crisis, meanwhile, is held up alongside Silent Spring as galvanizing the environmental movement. A very good copy with sunning to board edges, a couple spots of faint foxing to the first page of the introduction by John F. Kennedy; in a very good dust jacket with creasing/light wear to corners and spine ends. // Wood (+) River (=) Books specializes in ecology, natural history, nature writing, the environment, and environmental literature, with a special passion for association copies and notable inscriptions.

Rural Hours (formerly Wood + River = Books, est. 2019) specializes in ecology, natural history, nature writing, the environment, environmental literature, and contemporary essay, with a special passion for association copies and notable inscriptions. We draw our name from the popular-but-then-forgotten book by Susan Fenimore Cooper (published in 1850), generally considered the first work of environmental creative nonfiction by a woman in the U.S. We are interested in challenging and expanding the canon of environmental literature and finding books that tell remarkable stories and illuminate the tradition of writing about place and natural history.
