Nature Readings List
“Nature is the source of all true knowledge.” –Leonardo da Vinci
“Wilderness is not a luxury but a necessity of the human spirit, and as vital to our lives as water and good bread. A civilization which destroys what little remains of the wild, the spare, the original, is cutting itself off from its origins and betraying the principle of civilization itself.” --Edward Abbey
In the fall of 2023, I taught a section of the First-Year Seminar at the College of Idaho. The common topic was climate justice. For a text, we used All We Can Save.
I have long been interested in nature writing. One of my earliest readings was Edward Abbey's Desert Solitaire. Here are other nature writing books I've read over the years. |
