The Friendship of Nature : A New England Chronicle of Birds and Flowers (American Land Classics)
Editorial Reviews
Review
"The Friendship of Nature is a small classic of American nature writing, and Phillipon's excellent introduction and notes, both of which grow out of extensive primary research, contextualize and illuminate it for general readers, scholars, and students." -- Daniel Patterson, ISLE: Interdisciplinary Studies in Literature and Environment
"Wright's book provides an important introduction to the early career of a forgotten champion of American's flora and fauna." -- Robin Schulze, Environmental History
"Every so often a book comes along which revives a figure of the past. That is the case with Friendship of Nature... [Osgood's] keen observations and insights, expressed in meticulous prose and poetic descriptions typical of the period (1894), are a delight to read... The Friendship of Nature would make an excellent gift for naturalists, birders, and gardeners who love books." -- R. Sander-Regier, The Canadian Field-Naturalist
Review
"The Friendship of Nature will be prized by writers, scholars, and activists seeking to identify more closely with their own, often far from 'pristine,' landscapes and to dig in and take responsibility for them. It enriches our exploration of the ways in which individual human narratives reflect the deeper narratives of geology, climate, migrations, and forest history. This newly framed classic represents an important contribution to literature and environmental thought alike." -- John Elder, Stewart Professor of English and Environmental Studies, Middlebury College
