Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Life and Letters of John Muir, Vol. 2 Not many weeks after the receipt of this initial article, Mr. Avery accepted an appoint ment as Minister to China. Not ambition for honors, he wrote to Muir, but the com pulsion of broken health made me risk a foreign appointment, and I especially regret that the opportunity to share in the publication of your valuable papers, and to know you most inti mately, is to be lost to me. To the deep regret of his friends, Avery died in China the follow ing year. Mr. Carmany, despairing of the Overland as a financial venture, let it come to an end in 1875, and Muir, when his current engagements were discharged, formed new literary connections.

Download or read book A Word for Nature written by Robert L. Dorman and published by Univ of North Carolina Press. This book was released on 2000-11-09 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The careers and ideas of four figures of monumental importance in the history of American conservation--George Perkins Marsh, Henry David Thoreau, John Muir, and John Wesley Powell--are explored in A Word for Nature. Robert Dorman offers lively portraits of each of these early environmental advocates, who witnessed firsthand the impact of economic expansion and industrial revolution on fragile landscapes from the forests of New England to the mountains of the West. By examining the nineteenth-century world in which the four men lived--its society, economy, politics, and culture--Dorman sheds light on the roots of American environmentalism. He provides an overview of the early decades of both resource conservation and wilderness preservation, discussing how Marsh, Thoreau, Muir, and Powell helped define the issues that began changing the nation's attitudes toward its environment by the early twentieth century. Dorman's readings of works including Marsh's Man and Nature, Thoreau's The Maine Woods, Muir's The Mountains of California, and Powell's Report on the Lands of the Arid Region reveal their authors' influence on environmental thought and politics even up to the present day.
Download or read book Print Culture and the Blackwood Tradition written by David Finkelstein and published by University of Toronto Press. This book was released on 2006-12-15 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In late 1804, William Blackwood established a small publishing and bookselling firm in Edinburgh. Over the next 175 years, William Blackwood & Sons became one of the leading publishers in Britain, enjoying both local and international success. Early on it championed the works of Scottish writers, and later gained acclaim as the publisher of G.W. Steevens, George Eliot, Charles Whibley, and Joseph Conrad. Its political influence was also widespread; in 1817 it founded the monthly Blackwood's Magazine, which featured literary, critical, political, and journalistic commentary and analysis, and was a powerful force in British conservative politics. Two hundred years after the founding of this significant influence on British literary, political, and social history, this collection of essays reappraises the place of the Blackwood firm and its magazine in literary and print culture history. Editor David Finkelstein brings together an array of eminent scholars and critics from the US, Canada, Scandinavia, and the UK to examine Blackwoods from a variety of interdisciplinary perspectives. The resulting collection covers an impressive range of subject areas, including Romantic and Victorian literature, print culture, media history, and New Journalism.

Book excerpt: John Muir, a young Scottish immigrant, had not yet become a famed conservationist when he first trekked into the foothills of the Sierra Nevada, not long after the Civil War.

Download or read book Life and Letters of Rev James May Classic Reprint written by Alexander Shiras and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-09 with total page 190 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Life and Letters of Rev. James May The virtues of Christians are the riches of the Church. A faithful record of them brings new glory to the Gospel. And the accumulation of such records becomes a history of grace. When, therefore, a Christian has been moulded by the Spirit to specially near likeness to his heavenly Lord, it seems a duty to photograph, for preservation, the specimen of living Christianity thus given. Hence this brief memoir of the Rev. James May, D.D. Friends intimately acquainted with the holy beauty of his life, have thought that there was something in it which they could not willingly let die. In hope of blessing to his students and parishioners, perhaps to some besides, that may peruse it, they give a faint sketch of him to the world.
