Sigurd Olson - Listening Point
|
|
Our Price: $15.95
|
|
|
Listening Point is considered by some to contain Olson's most vivid and moving passages. It's the "nature lover's companion for hearing the depth and beauty of the great outdoors". Sigurd Olson (1899-1982) was one of the greatest environmentalists of the twentieth century. In 1931 he undertook the first research on wolves, later to be published in a scientific journal. An excerpt from the pages of Listening Point reads: "Suddenly it was dark on the hillside, but I sat a long time listening to the activity below me, stayed until the dankness of the beaver pond and the lushness of the flooded shores seeped into my consciousness." Features the illustrations of Francis Lee Jaques. Paperback. 244 pages.

Sigurd Olson - The Meaning of Wilderness
|
|
Our Price: $24.95
|
|
|
"Why wilderness?... Ask those who have known it and who have made it a part of their lives. They might not be able to explain, but your very question will kindle a light in eyes that have reflected the camp fires of a continent, eyes that have known the glory of dawns and sunsets and nights under the stars. Wilderness to them is real and this they do know; when the pressure becomes more than they can stand, somewhere back of beyond, where roads and steel and towns are still forgotten, they will find release." Sigurd Olson wrote those words in 1938... They still hold true today, actually even more so. Wilderness is even more precious in this even faster-paced world. We all need to escape for a time, get rejuvenated, slow down and listen. Enjoy this series of Sig's articles and speeches on wilderness. Edited and with an introduction by David Backes. Hardcover. 185 pages.
