These essays are alone worth the price of the book; so is Lyons detailed chronology of events in the natural history of the continent. The anthology proper begins with an excerpt from William Woods New Englands Prospect (1634)  a properly awed account of \"the kingly lion and the strong-armed bear \" moves on to great but little-known naturalist-explorers like William Bartram  John James Audubon  and Thomas Nuttall  and ends with modern giants like Aldo Leopold and Edward Abbey. Lyons enterprise and unfailing good taste has yielded not only a model of literary selection and commentary  but a book that celebrates the best of the North American continent and what there is to protect.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67920434823221,"sku":"ByrdShop_0140144412","price":69.06,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780140144413.jpg?v=1794051689","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/this-incomparable-lande-9780140144413","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
