About This Item
Parallax Press, 2016. 1st Edition. Soft cover. Near Fine. First printing softcover, a paperback original. Inscribed on the title page: To Maddy + Larry, Enjoy the journey! Fair winds, Heather Lyn Mann, January 23, 2017. The braided, interdisciplinary memoir of a battle-weary environmental advocate who took to the oceans with her husband for six years to confront her own burn out and the climate crisis, a book with threads of Buddhist thought, adventure, ecology, science, and more. An example of how small presses are also taking up the issue of climate change. Parallax Press is a nonprofit publisher founded and inspired by Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh. With a front cover blurb by Bill McKibben. Very near fine with light wear to edges and an ever-so-slightly bumped lower right corner on the front cover. Uncommon signed. We invite you to explore our dedicated, growing collection of signed and inscribed climate change books. Please inquire for photos.

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.
