Bøger af Marcia Bonta

Marcia Bonta is a naturalist-writer who has lived on a 500-acre mountain-top farm in central Pennsylvania for twenty years. Appalachian Spring is her personal account of that glorious spectacle - the coming of the spring to the woods and fields of Appalachia.

A sequel to "Outbound Journeys in Pennsylvania", this guidebook describes 49 natural places in Pennsylvania, featuring their old-growth forests, rivers, waterfalls, botanical localities, wetlands, geological formations, endangered ecosystems and special birdwatching areas.

This is the fourth (and final) volume in Marcia Bonta's seasonal musings on the natural world surrounding her 650-acre home in the mountains of central Pennsylvania. It explores the often hidden beauty and outdoor life of North American winters.

As she did in Appalachian Spring and Appalachian Autumn, Bonta offers a day-by-day account of the natural life of one place-her 648-acre property in south central Pennsylvania. In her minute observations of one place, one season, Marcia Bonta lays bare the connections we retain to the natural world, which is, finally, our own.
