Notes:  Before there was John McPhee, Chris Child, Rowan Jacobsen, Gary Paul Nabhan, Richard Manning, E.O. Wilson, Ann Zwinger, there was Krutch, a worthy addition to the long line of American nature writers–Thoreau, Muir, Rachel Carson, Marjorie Stoneman Douglas, Aldo Leopold, Wendell Berry.  Thirty four essays, the longest 22 pages, some just a couple or three.  “Flowers seem like a luxury that nature has grown prosperous enought to afford.” (“What Are Flowers For?”)  A perfect short read.
