hardcover. Zustand: Very Good. Most of our very good books have only minor imperfections such as shelf wear consistent with a new book that's sat on a bookshop shelf for a year or two. Occasionally we may miss other minor imperfections as we have to grade books at speed. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.

Zustand: Sehr gut. Zustand: Sehr gut | Sprache: Englisch | Produktart: Bücher | Where do we find sanctuary? How do we create it? And how do we keep it? This book is an extended meditation on these questions, as well as an exploration of particular places that have been sanctuaries in the author's life.The book begins with a foreward that puts the celebration of nature in the context of our times, acknowledging the ecological fragmentation that confronts us, and challenging us to find a way to advocate for land that we love. Then, the book's first section draws upon childhood memory as it takes readers to the canyons and mountains of Northern Arizona, the author's first home. The second section of the book takes readers to the North Cascade Range of Washington state, with a particular emphasis on the physical and spiritual qualities of water in its various forms: river, tarn, glacier, snowpack, and estuary. The third and final section crosses the Atlantic Ocean to Iceland. Volcanoes figure prominently in this section-both their creative and destructive effects on the land, and their influence on human inhabitants.Weaving personal stories together with geography, history, and ecology, Sanctuary delves into some of Earth's most powerful and important natural forces: pollination, volcanic activity, and flowing water. Starting in a pine tree in the back yard of the author's childhood home, and ending on a windswept beach on the coast of Iceland, these essays explore how human beings are sustained, in body and spirit, by our connection to the rest of this splendid planet.
