About This Item
NY: Scribners, 1972. First edition. Hardcover. Near fine/Very good. Inscribed on the green front free endpaper: "For Father Bonaventure, for the Mount Angel [Abbey] Community, in memory of an enjoyable and enriching experience, Rene Dubos, May 12, 1973." Uncommon signed. Dubos (1901-1982) was a microbiologist and important environmental thinker. He won the Pulitzer in 1969 for So Human an Animal and is credited with coining the essential enviro phrase, "Think globally, act locally." As the jacket describes this book, "If we continued to make choices for our future only relation to negative issues such as pollution and overpopulation, says Dr. Dubos, our civilization will become increasingly dreary and meaningless. Instead, we must learn to cultivate the positive values that exist in man's nature and in the external world." Mount Angel is a Benedictine Abbey founded in 1882 in Oregon, north of Salem. Bonaventure was its eighth abbot. A very near fine book in a very good jacket with faint wear to corners and spine ends, and two short tears to the top edge, one on the front, the other on the back.

About Rural Hours
Rural Hours (formerly Wood + River = Books, est. 2019) specializes in ecology, natural history, nature writing, the environment, environmental literature, and contemporary essay, with a special passion for association copies and notable inscriptions. We draw our name from the popular-but-then-forgotten book by Susan Fenimore Cooper (published in 1850), generally considered the first work of environmental creative nonfiction by a woman in the U.S. We are interested in challenging and expanding the canon of environmental literature and finding books that tell remarkable stories and illuminate the tradition of writing about place and natural history.
