Recenzii
"Like the building stones of his beloved limestone country, Scott Russell Sanders's enduring essays are beautifully carved from the material of the Earth and its layered lives. The reach of Sanders's incandescent mind will remind readers of Ralph Waldo Emerson. The fierce eloquence of his defense of what is right will remind them of Thoreau. The warmth of his open heart is signature Scott Russell Sanders. This collection of Sanders's finest work will become a classic of American thought." Kathleen Dean Moore, author of Wild Comfort: The Solace of Nature "The many things that Scott Russell Sanders cares about--social justice, family, our place in nature, the ways in which culture and place reflect one another--are all woven together wonderfully in this collection of essays. Here is a voice to dispel confusion and keep us well rooted." Lewis Hyde, author of The Gift and Common as Air

Lewis Hyde, author of The Gift and Common as Air "In language that's patient, probing and precise, Sanders, who is based in Bloomington, has, over the past 30 years or so, built a body of work articulating what it means to live during this time on planet Earth and, particularly, that part of the planet called the American Midwest." - NUVO "Earth Works, which collects twenty-one of Sanders's essays from previous books and adds nine others that haven't appeared in book form, is a chance for newcomers to see what they've been missing - and for longtime admirers of the writer to reconnect with a favorite voice." - Barnes and Noble Review "By turns somber and snap-out-of-it buoyant, these elegant artifacts of restless inquiry cover subjects as intimate as the author's sexual awakening and his father's alcoholism, as broad as the origins of the universe and the disarray of contemporary hyper-urban society." - Indianapolis Star
