About This Item
Westport, NY: West of the Wind Publications, 1997. Softcover. Near fine. Association copy, inscribed on the half-title page: "To my dear friend Thomas Lovejoy, Thanks for never forgetting a special day -- July 14 --& being such a loyal conservationist. Hugs & Licks, Anne, Chekika, Xandor [her dogs, depicted on both the front and rear covers]." A paperback original, uncommon signed. A decorated and deeply respected ecologist, Lovejoy is known as "the godfather of biological diversity," having introduced the term in 1980, and helped shape the field of conservation biology. LaBastille is a pioneering woman in ecology (with a Ph.D. in wildlife ecology from Cornell) and is best known for her Woodsman series, the first of which is her account of building a Thoreauvian cabin in the Adirondacks. The last two of four books in the series were published under her own imprint, West of the Wind Publications, another pioneering move. Among many honors, she won the Roger Tory Peterson Award for National Nature Education and a World Wildlife Fund Gold Medal for Conservation. A near fine book, in stiff wraps with gold lettering, with a modest bump upper corner gently effecting the text block; also slim bumping/creasing to spine tail. Laid in is a large postcard depicting the cover and with an order form for her other publications on the rear; very good with creasing to corners. A nice association.

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.
