About This Item
NY: Cliff Street Books/Harper Collins, 1997. First edition. Hardcover. Near fine/Near fine. Inscribed on the title page in blue ink: "For Larry Owens, Bernd Heinrich." Uncommon signed. Described by a previous seller as "inscribed to a colleague," but we also know that there is a Larry Owens who was a prominent book collector. Heinrich is a biologist and a noted contemporary natural history writer, and this is his fifth book. He was subsequently the winner of the John Burroughs Medal for The Mind of the Raven. Trees in My Forest is a "unique blend of science, personal story, and philosophy" that "looks at his ... forest in Maine and teaches us lessons about life and its bounty." With many botanical sketches (illustrations) that seem to be by Heinrich himself. A near fine book with light bumping to spine crown; in a a very near fine 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.
