Joseph Wood Krutch fue un escritor y crítico estadounidense, célebre por sus obras sobre ecología y el entorno natural del desierto del Suroeste. Sus escritos a menudo profundizan en preocupaciones ecológicas, la historia de los paisajes desérticos y sus crónicas naturales. El estilo de Krutch se caracteriza por una profunda observación y una apasionada defensa de la conservación. Su prosa invita a los lectores a contemplar nuestra relación con el mundo natural y a apreciar su delicada belleza.
With their call for "Simplicity, simplicity, simplicity!," for self-honesty, and for harmony with nature, the writings of Henry David Thoreau are perhaps the most influential philosophical works in all American literature. The Selections in this volume represent Thoreau at his best. Included in their entirety are Walden, his indisputable masterpiece, and his two great arguments for nonconformity, "Civil Disobedience" and "Life Without Principle." A lifetime of brilliant observation of nature–and of himself–is recorded in selections from A Week on the Concord and Merrimack Rivers, Cape Cod, The Maine Woods, and the Journal.
