Now, to honor the centennial of the National Park Service, Terry Tempest Williams, the author of the beloved memoir When Women Were Birds, returns with The Hour of Land, a literary celebration of our national parks, what they mean to us, and what we mean to them. Through twelve carefully chosen parks, from Yellowstone in Wyoming to Acadia in Maine to Big Bend in Texas, Tempest Williams creates a series of lyrical portraits that illuminate the unique grandeur of each place while delving into what it means to shape a landscape with its own evolutionary history into something of our own making. Part memoir, part natural history, and part social critique, The Hour of Land is a meditation and manifesto on why wild lands matter to the soul of America. Our national parks stand at the intersection of humanity and wildness, and there's no one better than Tempest Williams to guide us there. Beautifully illustrated, with evocative black-and-white images by some of our finest photographers, from Lee Friedlander to Sally Mann to SebastiaÌo Salgado, The Hour of Land will be a collector's item as well as a seminal work of environmental writing and criticism about some of America's most treasured landmarks."-- $c Provided by publisher. 600 10 $a Williams, Terry Tempest $x Travel $z United States. 650 0 $a National parks and reserves $z United States. 650 0 $a National parks and reserves $z United States $v Pictorial works. 650 0 $a National parks and reserves $x Social aspects $z United States. 650 0 $a Landscapes $x Social aspects $z United States. 650 0 $a Natural history $z United States. 650 0 $a Human ecology $z United States $x Philosophy. 651 0 $a United States $x Environmental conditions. 650 6 $a Parcs nationaux $z EÌtats-Unis. 650 6 $a Parcs nationaux $z EÌtats-Unis $v Ouvrages illustreÌs. 650 6 $a Parcs nationaux $x Aspect social $z EÌtats-Unis. 650 6 $a Paysages $x Aspect social $z EÌtats-Unis. 650 6 $a Sciences naturelles $z EÌtats-Unis. 650 6 $a EÌcologie humaine $z EÌtats-Unis $x Philosophie. 600 17 $a Williams, Terry Tempest. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00119196 650 7 $a Ecology. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00901476 650 7 $a Human ecology $x Philosophy. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00962959 650 7 $a Landscapes $x Social aspects. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01735942 650 7 $a National parks and reserves. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01033642 650 7 $a National parks and reserves $x Social aspects. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01033691 650 7 $a Natural history. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01034268 650 7 $a Travel. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01155558 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 655 7 $a Illustrated works. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423873 655 7 $a illustrated books. $2 aat 655 7 $a Pictorial works. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423874 655 7 $a Illustrated works. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Ouvrages illustreÌs. $2 rvmgf 941 $a 1 952 $l SAPG074 $d 20220924010249.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=371DE2B63BCE11EDA40FC83A45ECA4DB 994 $a Z0 $b LJWInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
