The Unequal Hours: Moments of Being in the Natural World by Linda Underhill (Eng

Description: The Unequal Hours by Linda Underhill Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description Meditations on the natural world, in the tradition of Annie Dillard and Edwin Way Teale Publisher Description After spending most of her life in the city, Linda Underhill moved to rural Allegany County, New York, in 1989 and observed a successful citizens protest against a low-level nuclear waste dump near her home. Having always thought the environmental movement applied mainly to the wilderness. Underhill began writing to voice the essence of what her neighbors were trying to preserve in their own backyards. Her essays describe elements of the natural world: wind, water, ice, fire, trees. The title essay concerns the ""unequal hours"" of the changing seasons, while other essays explore a nature preserve, a garden, backyard wildlife and a hot air balloon ride. Deliberately choosing settings close to home, she shows that one does not have to go on a wilderness voyage to appreciate the natural world. The Unequal Hours brings our attention to the sudden, intense experiences of reality that Virginia Woolf called ""moments of being"" by using the events of everday life as a way to explore what the natural world means to ordinary people. Like the sudden moments of illumination in haiku, the ""moments of being"" Underhill describes are rooted in the ordinary, but they reveal the extraordinary.
