The Environmental Imagination: Thoreau, Nature Writing, and the Formation of American Culture (association copy)
Cambridge, MA: Belknap Press: An Imprint of Harvard University Press, 1995. First edition. Softcover. An association copy, inscribed on the half-title page: "For Richard, With affection and admiration!" Also signed and dated in in 2006 on the title page. The recipient is Richard Forman of Concord, MA. Richard T.T. Forman was Buell's colleague at Harvard; he is considered "the father of landscape ecology," which explores how ecology and human use interact in place, and is the author of the seminal textbook in the field, Land Mosaics: The Ecology of Landscapes and Regions. He has studied the Concord landscape extensively. Buell is one of the foremost ecocritics, this book often cited as an early and instrumental work with Thoreau at its center, but myriad other environmental writers discussed and referenced. A very near fine paperback, seemingly unread, with one extremely minor crease at head of spine and a bookstore sticker and some older sticker residue across the rear barcode
