Sommario/riassunto |
|
A collection of ten pieces by Cooper that represent her best nature writing and the fullest articulation of her environmental principles. Includes independent essays, miscellaneous introductions and prefaces, and the first three installments from her work of literary ornithology, "Otsego Leaves," arguably her most fully realized contribution. |
