Book excerpt: A North Country Almanac: Reflections of an Old-School Conservationist in a Modern World includes the musings of an independent mind on wilderness, the conservation ethic, and the joys of loving the outdoors. These essays offer a rich variety of perspectives on an interesting array of topics, returning always to the author's fundamental belief that conservation pioneers had it right when they affirmed Walt Whitman's observation that "the secret of making the best person . . . is to grow in the open air and to eat and sleep with the earth."

Download or read book North Country written by Carolyn Dekker and published by . This book was released on 2023-02-24 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: North Country: A Pedagogical Almanac is a memoir-in-essays about teaching and family life in Michigan's Upper Peninsula. The book follows the cycle of seasons in this remote and beautiful place by the waters of Lake Superior during the years in which the author finds a place there. It's also a look at higher education on the razor's edge at a tiny and struggling liberal arts college. Above all, the memoir is about a life lived alongside books and what they might teach us about how to love, parent, mentor, and care for others. "Carolyn Dekker has crafted the most original of books, tangling up memoir with literary criticism, nature writing with social critique, regionalist poetics with profound meditations on love, life, and justice. North Country gives new life to the oldest words in the trade--you can't put this book down--for it asks readers to linger and to savor, slow-longing for the next words, the ones that tenderly knot keen observation to brilliant insight."--Phil Deloria, author of Playing Indian and American Studies: A User's Guide "At once a bracing portrait of place, a radically honest accounting of the self, and a delicate excavation of the crisis landscape of higher education, Carolyn Dekker's North Country: A Pedagogical Almanac illuminates the power of tenderness in a broken world. How might a moment of encounter--with a student, a lover, an animal, a landscape scarred by its industrial past--function as an act of repair? How might our time in the literary worlds we share fortify us and orient us toward beauty and justice? Dekker dares to take up these questions, and the book she creates is a place we should linger. I will be pressing North Country into people's hands for years to come."--Rachel Feder, author of Bad Romanticisms and Birth Chart "North Country is layered with celluloid universes where figures from Lord Byron to Naomi Alderman reside, each vignette a breathtaking tour of place and time grounded in the Upper Peninsula. In this "pedagogical almanac," Carolyn Dekker asks us to interrogate the plight of first-generation college students, see that socioeconomic status separates the cowboy from the equestrian, and feel the beauty in blue collar work. Her discomfort in "our need to be inserted as eyewitnesses," rockets this construction worker's daughter turned professor from Atwoodian musings to bailing young mothers out of jail--and teaches education as lifelong activism."--Kasey Perkins, author of When the Dead Get Mail "Whether examining sexual harassment in martial arts, the history of Arabian horses in the Western world, or class disparities in higher education, North Country traverses rhetorical territory as confidently as Carolyn Dekker describes herself crossing natural landscapes by foot, on horseback, or on skis. This far-reaching essay collection treats its many subjects with care and compassion, rooting every argument in the author's fundamental connections to home, family, and community. We should all have teachers who care about stories and people as deeply as Carolyn Dekker."--Lindsay King-Miller, author of Ask a Queer Chick Memoir. Literary Criticism. Nature. Family & Relationships. Women's Studies.

Book excerpt: Rural Free, first published in 1961, beautifully conveys the joys of family life on an Indiana farm. Marked by the slow pace and rich variety of seasonal change, Rachel Peden's narrative offers an authentic month-by-month chronicle of her family's daily adventures. Today, as the slow-food movement gathers support and more urban dwellers return to the land to plant roots again in honest soil, Peden's stories of country life and her lessons on sustainability, frugality, and wastefulness gain a special resonance. Rural Free will be a source of inspiration for all who rejoice in rural virtues and the spiritual freedom of country life.

Download or read book Aldo Leopold's Odyssey, Tenth Anniversary Edition written by Julianne Lutz Warren and published by Island Press. This book was released on 2016-05-24 with total page 526 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 2006, Julianne Lutz Warren (née Newton) asked readers to rediscover one of history’s most renowned conservationists. Aldo Leopold’s Odyssey was hailed by The New York Times as a “biography of ideas,” making “us feel the loss of what might have followed A Sand County Almanac by showing us in authoritative detail what led up to it.” Warren’s astute narrative quickly became an essential part of the Leopold canon, introducing new readers to the father of wildlife ecology and offering a fresh perspective to even the most seasoned scholars. A decade later, as our very concept of wilderness is changing, Warren frames Leopold’s work in the context of the Anthropocene. With a new preface and foreword by Bill McKibben, the book underscores the ever-growing importance of Leopold’s ideas in an increasingly human-dominated landscape. Drawing on unpublished archives, Warren traces Leopold’s quest to define and preserve land health. Leopold's journey took him from Iowa to Yale to the Southwest to Wisconsin, with fascinating stops along the way to probe the causes of early land settlement failures, contribute to the emerging science of ecology, and craft a new vision for land use. Leopold’s life was dedicated to one fundamental dilemma: how can people live prosperously on the land and keep it healthy, too? For anyone compelled by this question, the Tenth Anniversary Edition of Aldo Leopold’s Odyssey offers insight and inspiration.
