Weaving together memoir, philosophical reflection, and his always keen observations of the natural world, Loren Eiseley’s essays in \u003ci\u003eThe Night Country\u003c\/i\u003eexplore those moments, often dark and unexpected, when chance encounters disturb our ordinary understandings of the universe. The naturalist here seeks neither “salvation in facts” nor solace in wild places: discovering an old bone or a nest of wasps, or remembering the haunted spaces of his lonely Nebraska childhood, Eiseley recognizes what he calls “the ghostliness of myself,” his own mortality, and the paradoxes of the evolution of consciousness.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ex Libris Used Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39585274626239,"sku":"EXL002152","price":4.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0562\/5675\/7951\/products\/98714.jpg?v=1618498956"},{"product_id":"199050850","title":"GenderSpeak: Personal Effectiveness in Gender Communication (5th Edition) by Diana K.

Our lawns sprout African grasses, our roadsides flower with European weeds, and our homes harbor Asian, European, and African pests. The iconic American cowboy spread such alien life forms as cows, horses, anthrax, and tumbleweed, supplementing the often unexpected ways Native Americans influenced the environment. Misguided enthusiasts deliberately introduced carp, kudzu, and starlings. Leland considers the new home that these aliens in the backyard have made for themselves on the continent, but he employs an approach different from that of most naturalists. While environmentalists almost universally decry the invasion of non-native species, Leland finds that uncovering their stories of arrival and assimilation to be the more intriguing endeavor. Leland does mourn such ravages as the chestnut blight, Dutch elm disease, and gypsy moth, but he discovers that the vast majority of alien plants and animals, like their human counterparts, go about the business of existence and reproduction without threatening anyone or anything. survival, Leland cuts through myths coloring our grasp of the natural world and suggests that the stories of how these plants and animals have reshaped our landscape are as much a part of the continent's history as that of our presidents and politics. At the same time Leland poses questions about what exactly, of all our accepted icons, is truly American. Not apple pie or Kentucky bluegrass; not Idaho potatoes or Boston ivy. With an engaging style and genuine appreciation for nature's resiliency, Leland forces us to rethink our understanding of what it means to be American. He reveals how plant and animal invaders have made the country as much an environmental melting pot as it is melding of peoples and cultures.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ex Libris Used Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39617133641919,"sku":"EXL002231","price":6.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0562\/5675\/7951\/products\/926094.jpg?v=1619463423"},{"product_id":"199566706","title":"Isaac's Storm : A Man, a Time, and the Deadliest Hurricane in History by Erik Larson (1999)","description":"\u003cp\u003eHardcover with DJ in Very Good condition. Stated First Edition. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003e\u003cspan id=\"freeText8718201770299831222\"\u003eSeptember 8, 1900, began innocently in the seaside town of Galveston, Texas.
