About This Item
New York: Harry N. Abrams, Inc, 1992. First edition. Hardcover. Near Fine/Near Fine. SIGNED. 167pp. Oblong quarto [27.5 cm]. Bound in yellow cloth, with a green ink stamped title on the spine. Foot of spine mildly bumped. In a mildly rubbed dust jacket. Signed by Charles Bowden on the title page.
Emerson Trout is quoted on the dust jacket as saying, "I flinch at calling Charles Bowden a nature writer, a conservationist, an ecologist. As a writer he is so much more than the sum of his titles. His prose trembles with a raw and vital energy that I find missing from much current writing about the vital questions of wildness and wilderness.
