Seller's Description:
A truly lovely lepidopterist association copy, inscribed on the half-title page: "July 27, For Linc [Lincoln Brower] & Linda, with deep affection, great pleasure in the recollection of days afield & long friendship, and looking forward to walking your ridge again with you this fall, from Bob, 'For the Monarchs, ' Lep Soc 2001--Corvallis." Pyle has also made a butterfly-and-mountains sketch at the top of the page, and Brower has added his initials and the date and place of the annual meeting of the Lepidopterist Society. Pyle also signs in full on the title page. Lincoln Brower was the foremost expert and conservation champion of the monarch butterfly, which he studied for six decades, publicizing its unique migration patterns across generations from North to Central America. See his New York Times obit. Among many zoological and conservation awards, he was recipient of the E.O. Wilson Award from the Center for Biological Diversity. Pyle is likewise a renown lepidopterist, but equally renown as a writer, and is the winner of the John Burroughs Medal for nature writing among other honors. This book is in Milkweed's Credo series which "explore[s] the essential goals, concerns, and practices of contemporary American writers whose work emphasizes the natural world and human community"; it is an autobiographical personal essay from Pyle in which he narrates and reflects on his career mainly through his love and pursuit of butterflies (he weaves in, too, a wonderful snippet of the butterfly novel then in progress, now finished, Magdalena Mountain). A great association as such. Foremost ecocritic Scott Slovic provides a critical biography to follow, and finally a comprehensive bibliography of Pyle's work, including articles, etc., is provided, in which Lincoln Brower is mentioned at least once as a co-author of the scientific paper "Mexican-American Interchange of Western Monarchs, and Their Floral Corridors." There was a simultaneous hardcover published in limited numbers; this is the paperback, here crisp, feeling as new, but with very faint staining to the top edge of the text block, thus near fine. With a price sticker on the rear wrap. A great association.
