Описание:
For 37-plus years, celebrated nature writer Hal Borland penned over 1,700 natural history "outdoor editorial" essays for the Sunday edition of The New York Times. The original articles entranced readers with vivid and inspiring depictions of the natural world beyond the big city. Or, as Borland himself wrote with characteristic humility, they were "a weekly report on what's going on up country." Released posthumously in 1979, Twelve Moons of the Year contains a selection of 365 of Borland's best short pieces, hand-picked by the author and his wife, Barbara Dodge Borland. Organized almost like an almanac following the seasons of the Native American lunar calendar, each dated entry represents one day of the year and conveys an observation or morsel of fundamental wisdom about the natural world and the great outdoors. With his welcome wit and friendly style, Borland conveys the spirit and essence of each changing season and its special moons. The book sparkles with small and large observational gems. Find out why Borland has been beloved by readers for generations.

Описание:
Oftentimes the answers to life's biggest questions can be found by searching for them at the smallest scales. In Book of Days, beloved nature writer Hal Borland (1900-1978) takes readers on an eye-opening day-by-day journey through a year of the outdoor world around us. Originally published in The New York Times as "daily reflections," these short reports and observations convey Borland's inspiring thoughts about the world around him and the creatures he shared it with. He also muses about the changes in weather and climate through the seasons, reflects on our traditions and habits, and ponders fundamental questions about what it all means. Writing in the tradition of Henry David Thoreau and Aldo Leopold, and with the inquisitiveness of a philosopher and the perceptive wit of a wise old New England farmer, Borland portrays with simple clarity the elements of change and permanence in the untamed world around us. Neither calendar nor almanac, this delightful natural history "daybook" of mini essays features a treasure trove of fascinating philosophical insights and environmental wonders. Book of Days can be read straight through or savored one day at a time. Be sure to also read Hal Borland's other bestselling classics published by Echo Point Books--Hal Borland's Twelve Moons of the Year and Sundial of the Seasons.

Описание: Earthquake Children is the first book to examine the origins of modern Japan`s infrastructure of resilience. Janet Borland vividly demonstrates that Japan`s contemporary culture of disaster preparedness-and its people`s ability to respond calmly in times of emergency-are the results of learned and practiced behaviors inspired by earlier tragedies.
