Nature and Other Writings
$14.95
This was a good introduction to emerson. It's a small book, and far from a complete collection of his works, but it includes some of his most famous and moving essays as well as a few of his poems. This was my first reading of emerson, and at first, I didn't care too much for him. But after reading it a second time, I understood more clearly his message, and it began to grow on me. In fact, I've since purchased a complete collection of his writings as this book left me hungry for more. Even though this other book contains everything this book has, plus more, I am still glad I bought this book. It's nice to have a little pocket sized collection of his greatest hits.

"The young man reveres men of genius, because, to speak truly, they are more himself than he is. They receive of the soul as he also receives, but they more."

Fun With Nature (Take-Along Guide)

This is a wonderful adition to your nature, and science, library. It has beautiful illustrations, and a lot of practical information. It holds many of the take-along guides in one volume, which is a plus. My children use it constantly, to help with their nature journals, and just to investigate further all the wonders to be found in their backyard. A must have for ages 4 and up.

I have used Amazon for several years to keep renewing a subscription to Discover magazine for a good friend of mine. It has worked out just fine and will continue to do so for many years to come.
