Being in the World: An Environmental Reader for Writers

We used this fine collection of essays in a college course called "Wilderness Writing" where we camped, hiked, snowshoed, skiied, mtn. biked, etc and then wrote essays about our experiences. This book was the cornerstone of our class. It is chok full of the best essays on the world around us. When I have time to read I find myself coming back to this collection again and again. It is the finest collection of nature essays I've read. I still find myself going to it to help me teach my first-year college writing course. This is a keeper!
