THE HOUR OF LAND: A PERSONAL TOPOGRAPHY OF AMERICA’S NATIONAL PARKS
Book ID/图书代码： 02330016B89772
English Summary/英文概要： A love song to America’s national parks, by the acclaimed author of WHEN WOMEN WERE BIRDS. 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. Beautifully illustrated, with evocative black-and-white images by some of our finest photographers, from Lee Friedlander to Sally Mann to Sebastião 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.

• “Williams, an ardent, often rhapsodic, always scrupulous witness to the living world and advocate for the protection of public lands, celebrates the centennial of the National Park Service in this enrapturing and encompassing chronicle of her deeply inquisitive, meditative, and dramatic sojourns in a dozen national parks. Illustrated with exquisite photographs by such masters as Lois Conner, Lee Friedlander, Sally Mann, and Sebastião Salgado, this is a uniquely evocative, illuminating, profound, poignant, beautiful, courageous, and clarion book about the true significance of our national parks. These sanctuaries, Williams muses, are not only about preservation and recreation, but also about education and remembrance. She envisions them as ‘places of recognition,’ vital centers of awe and unity, inspiration and transformation. Williams writes, ‘If we can learn to listen to the land, we can learn to listen to each other.’ And the time is now: ‘We have arrived at the Hour of Land.’” –Booklist
