This is almost a very good book about the Chesapeake Bay, but Horton the journalist's literary ambitions and overreach seriously mar a few of the essays. Fortunately not most, and it's got some good information (albeit dated - 1987) and a few decent yarns. Worth the read for those interested, but you have to skim over some stuff even a sensible blue crab wouldn't touch. ( ) sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
Premios
Winner of the John Burroughs Medal for the Outstanding Book of Nature Writing."Must reading in a city that reinvented itself by seeking itsharbor roots."--Baltimore Magazine."Mr. Horton--a Baltimore journalist who has developed a devoted but hitherto local following--ventures into a small, distinguished circle of nature writers. Fans of Aldo Leopold, John McPhee and Sigurd Olson won't be disappointed. This is not merely a book for those who already know the Chesapeake, although they will be enchanted by Tom Horton's vast knowledge, narrative skills and eye for detail. Like the true bay native he is, Mr. Horton uses the Chesapeake as a limitless resource from which to harvest a great bounty of observations about politics, nature, and human beings."--New York Times Book Review."Sailing down the Chesapeake in this book is bracing, for Horton is knowledgeable, thoughtful, full of wonder about the natural world and outspoken... . As Smith Islanders might say, it's a `right smart' book."--Washington Post.Marylan No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
