About This Item
San Francisco: Sierra Club Books, 1992. First edition. Hardcover. Fine/Fine. Signed by Norton, Yevtushenko, and Brower--every contributor listed on the title page has signed it but Matthiessen. Uncommon as such (Matthiessen's signature alone in this volume is more prevalent). Describes in word and photograph the 1990 journey of Matthiessen, Paul Winter, and a group of Russian environmentalists who traveled around Baikal, the world's oldest and deepest lake, containing one-fifth of the planet's fresh water and increasingly threatened. A fine book in a fine price-clipped jacket. .

About Rural Hours
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.
