Klamath Knot : Explorations of Myth and Evolution

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - 'The Klamath Knot is a classic work of natural history, a wondrous meditation through time and space, and an intimate portrait of a miraculous stretch of land, forest, and mountain as botanically rich as any place in North America, as ecologically vital and important as any place on the planet.'--Wade Davis, author of One River: Explorations and Discoveries in the Amazon Rain Forest'In Wallace's hands, evolution is never mechanical or abstract; it is always seen operating in particular sites and species. As a stylist and a thinker Wallace is in a select class of writers who make science into literature.'--Ernest Callenbach, author of Ecotopia'For those of us who like David Rains Wallace's writing, it is good news indeed that his much-admired The Klamath Knot is back in print.'--Sue Hubbell, author of Waiting for Aphrodite: Journeys into the Time Before Bones'A classic of natural history which will take its place alongside Walden and A Sand County Almanac.'--G. Ledyard Stebbins, author of Variation and Evolution in Plants 'The Klamath Knot is a marvelous book, one of the finest nature essays I have read, beautifully written, full of stimulating ideas and insights.'--George B. Schaller, author of The Last Panda. Artikel-Nr. 9780520236592
