An Unspoken Hunger: Stories from the Field
ISBN: 9780679752561 / Angielski / Miękka / 1995 / 160 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. The acclaimed author of Refuge here weaves together a resonant and often rhapsodic manifesto on behalf of the landscapes she loves, combining the power of her observations in the field with her personal experience--as a woman, a Mormon, and a Westerner. Through the grace of her stories we come to see how a lack of intimacy with the natural world has initiated a lack of intimacy with each other.
Williams shadows lions on the Serengeti and spots night herons in the Bronx. She pays homage to the rogue spirits of Edward Abbey and Georgia O'Keeffe, contemplates the unfathomable...

In her compassionate meditation on how nature and humans both... -Shards of glass can cut and wound or magnify a vision, - Terry Tempest Williams tells us. -Mosaic celebrates brokenness and the beauty of being broug...

Refuge: An Unnatural History of Family and Place
ISBN: 9780679740247 / Angielski / Miękka / 1992 / 352 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. In the spring of 1983 Terry Tempest Williams learned that her mother was dying of cancer. That same season, The Great Salt Lake began to rise to record heights, threatening the Bear River Migratory Bird Refuge and the herons, owls, and snowy egrets that Williams, a poet and naturalist, had come to gauge her life by. One event was nature at its most random, the other a by-product of rogue technology: Terry's mother, and Terry herself, had been exposed to the fallout of atomic bomb tests in the 1950s. As it interweaves these narratives of dying and accommodation, Refuge transforms...

"Between the high Sierras south from Yosemite--east and south over a very great assemblage of broken ranges beyond Death Valley, and on illimitably into the Mojave Desert" is the territory that Mary Austin calls the Land of Little Rain. In this classic collection of meditations on the wonders of this region, Austin generously shares "such news of the land, of its trails and what is astir in them, as one lover of it can give to another."
